#4 Very cool. The T-34 is an excellent commuter tank. "I don't need no stinkin' carpool lane!"

#8 Any weenie in Hollywood aught to be picking some up for future films and not have to rely upon some CGI mapping. Just think of all those wonderful pro-Stalin films they can write with full patriotic fervor. Down with the Fascist! Calling Mr. Stone, Calling Mr. Stone. Time to rev up your next message film to damn those Repulicans.

#11 A T-35 ? No way. Do you know what the milage is on that thing ? The pits. And parking ? Don't get me started. And they leak. And they don't do hills.

Better headroom than a T-34, thats about it.

#13 IOW, ala LendLease they're selling AMERICAN or AMERICAN-DESIGNED [REJECTED?]WEAPONS, includ the T-34! Stalin and his boys said it, in paraphrase -neither Britain, France, Europe, or Russia, either alone or together, could hope to defeat Nazi Germany and its Wehrmacht. In reality,
thanx to his nation-wide collectivization, purges, and other harsh pogroms, and
without US intervention or aid the best Stalin could hope for on the Eastern Front was stalemate!
PEARL HARBOR was the best thing Stalin could hope for, and knowing its benefits for him and Commie Russia did nothing to stop it.
