The Soviet miracle tanks T-34 and KV were so far ahead of the most daring fantasy of the time that Hitler did not believe in their reality.

As for the stupidity of Stalin, who did not expect an attack, I fully understand him. By and large, an attack on the Soviet Union is deadly for Germany. The forces are not equal. Neither human nor material resources. And most importantly, the technical equipment of the Red Army was better. Especially, in the main weapon of that era - in tanks. The Russians had fantastic tanks from the future. And there were an incredible number of them. Stalin was behind them like a steel wall and was not afraid of any attacks with such a miracle weapon. And Hitler was not afraid of them for the same reason. Because there can be no such tanks. From his point of view, this is Jewish-Bolshevik propaganda and misinformation planted on German intelligence.

Wikipedia:

It should be noted that, according to modern historians, the Wehrmacht had a clear qualitative superiority of technology [20]. So, all the tanks in service with Germany were lighter than 23 tons, while the Red Army had T-34 and T-28 medium tanks weighing over 25 tons, as well as heavy KV and T-35 tanks weighing over 45 tons.

In fact, Soviet tanks were the next generation from the Germans, that is, superiority, as between a jet fighter and a propeller.

Here is a photo of a German medium tank (left) T-3 next to a Soviet heavy KV-1. Elephant and pug:

All large German tanks Tiger and Panther appeared after 2-3 years of war, but they are most shown on TV and people think that it was so at the beginning of the war. And at the beginning of the war, there was nothing of the kind.

Pictured above left is a Soviet T-34 main medium tank captured by the Germans. The Russians had 1200 of them. The Germans had 3,000 tanks in total. Of these, almost half had no guns at all, as in the right picture, T-I, armed with only 2 machine guns. There were 180 such liars. I specially selected 2 pictures of tanks compared to the size of a person. Otherwise, it is not clear how big the tanks are if you do not compare them with each other. Soviet tanks were only several times larger in linear dimensions.

1 Soviet tank cannot defeat either 10 or 100 German T-I tanks because they do not have a cannon.

These photographs show, in addition to size and shape, the endless superiority of Soviet tanks over German ones. Sloped armor, streamlined shape, wide tracks. A huge cannon.

Quoting from wikipedia:

the Wehrmacht for the invasion of the USSR was allocated 3332tanks, of which about

230 lightly armed "command" tanks,

180 T-I,

746 T-II,

772 38 (t),

965 T-III,

439 T-IV.

The German T-II will only be able to defeat the Russian hero if the German shoves his 20mm mini-cannon right into the window of the T-34. The other 3 types of tanks can defeat the Russian tank without pushing the cannon into the window, but approaching point-blank at a distance of several steps. The T-34 will be able to destroy them at a distance of several kilometers. And when the shells run out, he can simply crush them with caterpillars.

Only the heavy German T-IV was somewhat similar to the Soviet T-34 and KV tanks. But there were 1,300 Soviet tanks of these types in the border districts, and only 439 German tanks - three times less. And the T-IV was heavy according to the German classification. In Russian, he did not even reach the average.

There are many examples when 1 Soviet tank in the initial period of the war knocked down several dozen German ones. The main losses of Soviet tanks were not in combat. Either the shells were not brought up, then the wrong ones were brought up, then the diesel fuel ran out, then the shells ran out, and all around the Germans and an unarmed tank they were already finishing off at point-blank range. But, more often the crew left the car without shells and ran away.

This photo shows that this tank, fantastic for the Germans from the future, was fired at by several German tanks and could not penetrate the armor. I counted 27 hits. Like the Moon or Mars in meteorite craters. Maybe he has another 100 hits outside of photography.

Here are the facts from Wikipedia:

The crew of the KV-1 tank near the town of Raseiniai (in Lithuania) in June 1941 held back the Kampfgroup (battle group) of the 6th Panzer Division of General F. Landgraf for 24 hours, equipped mainly with light Czech tanks Pz. 35 (t).

One of the KVs during the battle on June 24 turned left and took up a position on the road parallel to the direction of the offensive of the Kampfgroup "Seckendorf" under the command of Lieutenant Colonel E. von Seckendorff, finding himself behind the back of the Kampfgroup Routh.

The KV-1 tank stopped for some time the Seckendorf kamph group, which made up a little less than half of the tank division.

The combat log of the 11th Tank Regiment of the 6th TD says:

“The foothold of the Routh Kampfgroup has been withheld. Until noon, as a reserve, the reinforced company and the headquarters of the 65th tank battalion were pulled back along the left route to the crossroads northeast of Raseiniai. Meanwhile, a Russian heavy tank blocked the communications of the Routh Kampfgruppe. Because of this, communication with the Routh Kampfgroup was cut off for the entire afternoon and the following night. Battery 8, 8 Flak (these are the most powerful anti-aircraft guns of the Wehrmacht with a caliber of 8.8 cm) was sent by the commander to fight this tank. But her actions were as unsuccessful as the 10.5 cm battery. In addition, an attempt by an assault group of sappers to blow up a tank failed. It was impossible to approach the tank because of the heavy machine gun fire”[6].

The lone KV in question fought the Seckendorf Kampfgruppe. After a night raid of sappers, who had only scratched the tank, the second time they dealt with it with the help of an 88-mm anti-aircraft gun, which they managed to install behind the tank … A group of tanks 35 (t) distracted the KV with their movement, and the 8, 8 cm FlaK crew achieved six hits on the tank, but only three were able to penetrate the tank's armor.

Please note that the tank was destroyed only by cunning. To knock out only 1 Soviet tank, the Germans staged a whole multi-pass, multi-day, dodgy operation with distracting maneuvers. For this, a total of several dozen tanks and several hundred people are involved.

Another. Again with fifty hits.

Most of the German shells left no traces at all and we cannot count them in any way. These visible not end-to-end!holes or dents were left only by very powerful German guns. Wikipedia:

At the beginning of the war, among the mysticism-prone Germans, the KV-1 tank received the nickname "Gespenst" (translated from German. Ghost) [8], since the shells of the standard 37-mm anti-tank gun of the Wehrmacht most often did not even leave dents on his armor … This episode is detailed in the memoirs of Colonel Erhard Routh, whose group tried to destroy a Soviet tank.

The 6th Panzer Division of the Wehrmacht fought for 48 hours with a single Soviet KV-1 tank. The fifty-ton KV-1 shot and crushed with its tracks a convoy of 12 supply trucks, which was going to the Germans from the captured town of Raiseniai, then destroyed the artillery battery with aimed shots.

Here you have to stop and take a breath. Imagine, a whole battery could not destroy just 1 tank. In an attempt to knock him out, the entire battery died. This resembles a hunt for a polar bear, from which the hunter himself perishes and not the white bear. Encyclopedia of Brockhaus and Efron:

The polar bear is very wild, angry, bloodthirsty and very strong; it moves in leaps rather quickly. B. Bear defends himself with great courage and is a dangerous opponent, especially on the ice, on which he moves boldly and confidently. They hunt B. bear with guns, but this hunt often costs the hunter's life

Continued from wikipedia:

The Germans, of course, fired back, but to no avail. The shells of the anti-tank guns did not even leave dents on his armor.

Why, the cannons - the KV-1 armor - could not penetrate even 150-millimeter howitzers. True, Routh's soldiers managed to immobilize the tank by detonating a shell under its track. But "Klim Voroshilov" was not going to leave anywhere. He took a strategic position on the only road leading to Raiseniai, and delayed the division's advance for two days (the Germans could not get around it, because the road passed through swamps where army trucks and light tanks were stuck).

Finally, by the end of the second day of the battle, Routh managed to shoot the tank with anti-aircraft guns. But, when his soldiers cautiously approached the steel monster, the tank turret suddenly turned in their direction - apparently, the crew was still alive. Only a grenade thrown into the hatch of the tank put an endin that incrediblebattle.

Again, they won by cunning, and not by military methods. They threw a grenade right into the hatch. But, this is an oversight of the tank crew. Do not leave the hatch open in close combat.

In the same way, a person can knock down a polar bear, only instead of a grenade, a special trick is thrown into his mouth:

Encyclopedia of Brockhaus and Efron:

The natives use the following method for hunting B. bears: a sharp strip of whalebone, about 4 inches long, is rolled up in a spiral, poured over with seal fat, which is allowed to harden, and then laid as bait. When this bait gets into the stomach of a B. bear, the fat melts, the whalebone straightens and tears the stomach and other entrails, and the animal dies.

(For details about the Beormed-Veds, see my article "The main builders of St. Petersburg have neither graves, nor offspring, nor portraits. Because they were not invented."

Lieutenant Helmut Ritgen of the German 6th Panzer Division [10]:

… the very concept of tank warfare has radically changed, the KV vehicles marked a completely different level of weapons, armor protection and tank weight. German tanks instantly went over to the category of exclusively anti-personnel weapons …From now on, enemy tanks became the main threat, and the need to fight them demanded new weapons - powerful long-barreled guns of a larger caliber

It is about the battle with KV tanks near Raseiniai [10]:

These hitherto unknown Soviet tanks caused a crisis in the Seckendorf strike group, since she did not have a weapon capable of piercing their armor. The shells simply bounced off Soviet tanks.

The infantrymen began to retreat in panic during the Russian tank attack.

Super-heavy Soviet KVs were advancing on our tanks, and our dense fire did not bring any result. The KV rammed the command tank and turned it over.

All this is about the KV-1 Tank. But the Russians had an even more fantastic supertank from the distant future KV-2:

Image

It is a mobile fortress on tracks.

But, with the beginning of the war, KV tanks were no longer produced as unnecessary. Not because they are bad, but for another, very simple reason - the Russians threw all the production forces on another tank - the T-34. Because all the advantages of tanks from the future KV type are nonsense compared to the most legendary T-34 tank, which was somewhat smaller than the KV, but, on the other hand, more high-tech. If the KV tanks, in comparison with the German comic supposedly, were tanks from fantastic books of the distant future, then the T-34 is a tank of an alien highly developed civilization, ahead of humanity by thousands of years.

According to the German Major General B. Müller-Hillebrand, the appearance of the T-34 tank marked the birth of the so-called fear of tanks among German troops on the Eastern Front. [78]

At the time, the 37mm cannon was still our strongest anti-tank weapon. If we were lucky, we could hit the shoulder strap of the T-34 turret and jam it. If you are even more lucky, the tank will then not be able to act effectively in battle. Of course, not a very encouraging situation!

The only way out was the 88 mm anti-aircraft gun. With its help, it was possible to effectively act even against this new Russian tank.

- Otto Carius, German tank ace [80]

Borzilov, commander of the 7th Panzer Division [82]:

I personally overcame four anti-tank areas with KV and T-34 vehicles. The driver's hatch cover was knocked out in one car, and the TPD apple in the other. It should be noted that it is mainly guns and machine guns that are put out of action; otherwise, the T-34 machine perfectly withstands the blows of 37-mm guns, not to mention the KB.

In short, the quality of the tanks the Russians outnumbered the Germans by at least 10 times. Although, to be honest, 100 times.

There is a Jewish anecdote. The Jewish youth wants to find a bride so beautiful that her dowry does not matter, but at the same time she must be so rich that her beauty does not matter. The Russians had so many tanks that their quality no longer mattered. And the tanks themselves were so superior to the German ones that their number did not matter.

On the other hand, the information about the quality and quantity of these tanks was so incredible that Hitler perceived it as primitive disinformation and did not believe it. This is the same as now being told to Obama that Putin is armed with a million invisible flying saucers with laser cannons.

The German shock from such tanks was comparable to the shock of the world liberal-democratic community from the launch of the first Soviet Sputnik in 1957. 12 years after such a devastating war. According to the West, the Soviet Union was thrown back into the Stone Age by this war. Plus, many of them seriously believed in the millions of billions of trillions of victims of the Stalinist repression. The Soviet Union was not just destroyed by the war, but literally devastated. There is simply no one left! Especially men. All that remained are cutting down the forest in the Gulag until they are completely exhausted, while the rest are guarding them and drinking vodka in buckets. What the fuck is a satellite? What are you!

The progressive Germans, out of fright, decided for themselves the same tanks as those of the backward Russian Jewish commissars. And a year later they gave out the first Tiger, heavy even by Soviet standards. Heavy or heavy, but primitive, due to the backwardness of German science and metallurgy in comparison with Soviet ones. The Germans solved the problem with quantity, not quality. They just put on more armor. They could not make sloped armor like the Russians had, they could not develop such a perfect diesel engine as on the T-34 and KV. Therefore, the tank turned out to be so stupid and clumsy that all the first Tigers collapsed not so much from enemy fire, but from their own weight.

First fight

On August 29, 1942, the Tigers disembarked from a military train at the Mga station.

They wanted to throw the newly unloaded tanks against a successful Soviet offensive. But, already during the advance to the initial positions, breakdowns began. Two tanks had a gearbox out of order, and a third one overheated and caught fire.… These units, already overloaded with the large mass of the tank, experienced additional stress due to movement on wet ground [7].

In the shortest possible time, the tanks were repaired in the repair shops using the parts sent by the plane from the manufacturer, and on September 15 they were put back into operation.

On September 22, the same platoon equipped with Tigers, together with PzKpfw III tanks, took part in the 170th Infantry Division's offensive against units of the 2nd Soviet Shock Army, in the same swampy area near Leningrad. As a result of this battle, one tank after being hit by a projectile, the engine stalled, and three others managed to reach the enemy front line, having received serious damage, and stopped there due to off-road and technical problems.

Of the four tanks, three were evacuated, and one was captured by Soviet troops, but the Germans had time to remove all the equipment from the tank beforehand [8].

The first pancake is lumpy. For another year, German designers had to fine-tune it so that the tank would not jam so often and it would be able to withstand Soviet vehicles. In terms of firepower and protection, it surpassed the outdated Soviet tanks two years ago. And in terms of maneuverability, he could not even closely compare with the Soviet old people. But the "backward" Russian "little fools" also did not sit idly by and also created new generations of smart tanks, again surpassing cultural Europeans not in quantitative characteristics, but in qualitative ones.

This is reminiscent of the story of the American pursuit of Soviet space exploration. After Gagarin, they quickly launched the first American into space only half - on a suborbital flight. They did not reach the orbit around the Earth, but symbolically they went into space. Although the buys are waist-high. The first pancake is lumpy. Details here

Even Soviet patriots underestimate the greatness and might of the USSR. Soviet space is too tough for them

After a bad experience to go their own way of the Tiger, the Germans decided to simply copy the Soviet T-34 as much as possible and created a truly magnificent, but shameful Panther tank.

Image
Image

Why shameful? Because the Germans, the Nazis considered themselves the coolest and smartest people. And the main battle tank is a symbol of the power of the nation, the main weapon of the modern war of engines. And the Panther, with its appearance, speaks, even screams, about the superiority of Soviet engineering. All that the Germans tore off from the backward Russians was a plus of the new car, and everything that they left theirs was a minus.

The project of a new car was put forward by 2 German concerns. MAN and Daimler Benz. Benz's tank turned out to be so similar to the Soviet T-34 that they simply did not dare to put it into production because I would often fire on my own because of the inability to distinguish it from a distance from a Soviet tank!

Here's a look:

Image
Image

Here, for comparison, the silhouette of the T-34 under which the Germans mowed down:

Image
Image

In the same way, the new post-war Germany will imitate Soviet tanks developed at the end of the 30s. And also, all the other tank powers in the world - the USA, Israel, China, etc. even in the 21st century.

This is reminiscent of the story of the American pursuit of Soviet space exploration. First, they showed off as reusable Shuttles, and then they closed this project, and began to fly on disposable rockets, like normal Soviet people, and even put on their new missiles the old Soviet rocket engine of the 60s, which was ahead of its time forever. Details here

Even Soviet patriots underestimate the greatness and might of the USSR. Soviet space is too tough for them

You will not believe if you don’t hear and see it yourself, but these old tanks from the monuments of the Great Patriotic War are mistaken by the Maidanites for modern "Putin's tanks", they were ahead of their time.

If the Germans had the Bandero-Ukrop Peremozhtsy, they would have knocked down Russian tanks in whole columns and without losses.
