For those interested...this is a fairly early model of this tank with the
76.2mm main gun. Those produced from late 1943 onwards had a much
longer-barreled 85mm gun. Also,if all the 100's of T-34 tanks used as war
memorials(usually labelled as"the first tank to enter XXXX) were collected
there would be enough to form about 2 Armoured Divisions!!! Cornel

T34 tank memorial on Bahnhofstrsasse.
The banner reads :
"To the heroic soviet army - glory."
To this I can only agree.
