Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

The Russians had many of these tanks in 1941 and they along with the T34 were far better than anything the Germans had until the Panther and Tiger in early 1943. How or why the Germans were unaware of their existence amazes me since they were allies until Barbarossa in June 1941 . Anybody know?
