The humble T-34, the standard battle tank of the Russian army, was outclassed and outgunned by the excellent Tigers and Panthers of the German Wermacht, but it was built in enough numbers to win the war. The allies had their equally uninspired Sherman, but they had thousands of them. One Tiger alone destroyed over 150 T-34s but it was never enough. In the end quantity won - but it was a near run thing.
The Tank Series:
For more than half a century, the Tank has played a pivotal role in some of the most crucial battles in world history. In the bitter struggle for victory during World War Two, these fearsome weapons were always in the thick of the fighting; from the frozen hell of the war on the Eastern Front to the burning sands of North Africa, from the terrifying 'Blitzkrieg' campaign to the bloody battles for Normandy. While men fought and died in their noisy, claustrophobic steel hulks, engineers and designers on both sides laboured ceaselessly to build the tank that would give them the edge in the battles that would decide the outcome of the war.
