It must seem like a terribly long time ago to him, but Im sure he still has some very vivid memories of it all.
bigchunk, I imagine all tanks have a serial number, like a registration plate.

regardless, i think even without it being his own tank, the sight of any t34 will probably trigger off emotions among tank crews who operated it and made it to this date.
i would imagine it to be a very deep sense of pride and sadness, for all the german soldiers and tanks who faced it and perished, as well as his own crew members/friends and other tankers who werent quite as lucky and faced a gruesome/fiery death inside.

Respect to the veteran on the picture and all the others as well. Things like this makes you realize we are actually pretty lucky to live in peaceful times.

its a little odd to see him bowing to a tank. I'm not russian so i don't know if thats a normal thing or has a deeper meaning. however he is old (so ill let him off easy.) and he survived which wasn't an easy task in that thing.
Wut? Ww2 wasn't coh2. The T34 was very formidable.

its design looked great on paper however despite what is said the Christie suspension had a lot of issues there was a reason why the united states turned it down. like actually achieving the max speed on a t34 was impossible due to the fact that Christie suspension made the shifter impossible to shift into its last gear. (unless you have super human strength.) i think they fixed it with t3485s not sure. this meant that speeds were not near as high as numbers suggest.
not to mention the metal in Russia was of poor quality leading to armor not actually being what it was on paper. also they loved to place ammo everywhere on the tank that penetrated would find ammo.
if you want to chat further pm or find another thread i don't want to drag this thread into to the ocean.
back on top a very touching picture nice find.
