The T-34 Lialla is talking about was a Russian tank ... a big, solid, hulking behemoth that stood up to the majority of German anti-tank guns except the 88 ... at least until the Germans equipped their tanks with 75mm guns in 1942. The main issues of the T-34 were related to the fact that they weren't exactly mechanically reliable. Sometimes the engines would just stop and give out.

I find it interesting, on a side note, that those who love to talk about history seem to never mention that a huge percentage of Russian equipment was lend-lease equipment from the Americans. Guns, trucks, Jeeps, etc. And loads and loads of Spam. I think the Russians, in particular, always love to make it look like they did it all on their own.

Of course, those who like to talk about history ... especially those who would use history as a way to personally insult other members of a forum ... may do well to remember that THEY weren't there personally and that they also don't know a thing about the families of those they are insulting. Just because someone was born in Germany doesn't mean that those in their families who were alive back then were.

Remember ... a closed mouth gathers no feet.

Eh ... and on a note of tanks used by the Americans, the first were M2's and used on Gualdalcanal in 1942, by the Marine Corps.

I'd like to quote this post as a last word:

Return/rehome your dog instead of dwelling on how much of a monster you think he is or 'Dominant Brat' according to your signature. I'm sure he'd find a much better match elsewhere.
With that mindset, he is already set up to fail
And with that, this thread is closed as it is getting personal, and disturbingly threatening.
