Famous WW2 Quote
"Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue."Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, 16 Mar 1945

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?
