This is Concord's second volume covering Soviet medium tanks in WWII, namely the T-28, T-34-76, T-34-85 and T-44.
The T-34 and its variants formed the bulk of the Soviet tank force in the Great Patriotic War. Its speed, firepower and mobility were superior to its German counterpart in the early stages of the war. Most importantly, the simple design of the T-34 tanks gave the Soviets the numerical superiority that helped to halt the German Advances and later turn the tide of the war. The T-34-85 fought alongside the IS-2 against the German heavy tanks towards the end of the war.
Steven Zaloga, a noted expert in Soviet armor, is again the main author for this book.
