Germany's Tables of Organization and Equipment (TOE) updated

I've added TOEs for the 1939 and 1944 Infantry Divisions. These are by no means complete of everything a division had, or even based on the reality of the front lines. But it does give what was intended to be the makeup of the particular unit.

Britain's Cruiser Mk I, A9 updated

The philosophy of the British tank corps was to have Cruiser tanks that would act like cavalry and exploit by driving into and beyond the front lines of the enemy. The first of that breed was the Cruiser Mk I (A9).

Now starting on the source that was my very first one used in building the site. Hoping to find some new tidbits to add that I didn't initially. Also to properly attribute it as a source.
I've now made some modifications to the Light Tanks used by the United Kingdom. More to come!

Soviet Union's heavy tanks updated

The Soviets had to continue to upgrade their designs to combat the latest German designs. The KV-85 was a stop gap until the IS-1 became available. The IS series was to be the Soviet heavy tanks to take on the heaviest of German designs.

Soviet Samokhodnaya Ustanovka (self propelled guns) updated and photo added

The Soviets saw how successful the self propelled guns were for the Germans and the need to mount larger weapons persuaded them to produce the SU series.

Soviet KV heavy tanks updated

The Soviets fielded heavy tanks at the start of the German invasion in 1941. These came as quite a shock to the Germans as most of their guns were ineffective against the KV's front armor.

Soviet heavy tanks updated

Here come the heavies!
The Soviets had an early obsession with heavy multi-turreted tanks. They turned out to be quit ponderous and practically unusable in battle.

Soviet medium tanks and tank destroyers updated

The Soviets wisely stuck to the basics with their tank designs. They had a successful chassis in the T-34 and with modifications created more power medium tanks and some very potent tank destroyers.

Soviet Union's T-34/76 medium tank updated

The most famous Soviet tank of World War II was probably the T-34/76. It came as a complete shock the the invading Germans. Large factories were moved out of the way of the Germans and Soviet citizens produced them in massive quantities under very trying conditions.

Soviet Union's A-32 and T-32 medium tank updated

Next in line, leading up to the T-34, were the A-32 and T-32. As a result of the war with Finland it was found that the existing models had too little armor and not a big enough gun so it was decided by Stalin to proceed with the development of the new medium tank.

Soviet Union's A-20 medium tank updated

The A-20 was one, though not the only, of the precursors to probably the most famous of all the Soviet tanks to come out of World War II, the T-34/76. It did run on tracks or wheels like the BT series, and only could carry a 45 mm gun.

Soviet BT series updated

The Soviet Union, due to its wide spaces needed a tank that could go long distances. The Soviets adopted the Christie design for their BT series. I've made quite a few updates to the BT series.

Soviet Union's T-28 medium tank updated

The T-28 was designed to be an infantry support tank. The crews gave them the nicknames: Betka (beetle), Betushka or Tri-Tankista (three tank men).

Soviet Early Medium Tanks added and updated

Stalin was very supportive of the burgeoning tank designs that were developed during the 1920s and 1930s. I've now added two new pages and updated a couple more. If anyone has photos I'd be happy to use them!
More to come!
