Historical Background and Use

The T-34/76 Model 1940 is the first variant of this outstanding tank, which was widely used by the Red Army during World War II, especially during Germany's invasion of the USSR (Operation Barbarossa, 1941). It proved highly effective in combat thanks to its combination of armor thickness, mobility, and an efficient 76.2 mm gun. The Model 1940 was produced in series in the late 1940–1941 period, becoming a symbol of Soviet resistance and the foundation of the Red Army’s armored successes both on the Eastern Front and during battles for Moscow and Stalingrad.
