- Germany's Tables of Organization and Equipment (TOE) updated
world war ii - (added to site: Sun, 15 Nov 2009 16:09:00 +0000)
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.
- United Kingdom's Cruiser Tanks updated

I did a few updates yesterday and forgot to get them posted to the Blog, so here they are.
- Britain's Cruiser Mk I, A9 updated
cruiser tanks - (added to site: Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:42:00 +0000)
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).
- United Kingdom's Light Tanks, more updates
world war ii - (added to site: Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:31:00 +0000)
A couple more updates to finish off the light tanks.
- United Kingdom's Light Tanks updated
world war ii - (added to site: Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:05:00 +0000)
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!

I've made some minor updates to Britain's history and vehicle production.

I've additional aces to the list.
- Soviet Union's Tank Units Table of Organization added
world war ii - (added to site: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:53:00 +0000)
I've added a table of organization for the Soviet Tank Division of June 1941.
- Soviet's Foreign Vehicles updated
world war ii - (added to site: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:14:00 +0000)
The Soviet Union received a great number of vehicles built by Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. I've updated the list of which vehicles were received.
- Soviet Union's heavy tanks updated
world war ii - (added to site: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:54:00 +0000)
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 Union's ISU-122 and ISU-152 updated
world war ii - (added to site: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:45:00 +0000)
The Soviet's upgraded their assault guns to use better guns and the IS-2's chassis and hull.
- Soviet Samokhodnaya Ustanovka (self propelled guns) updated and photo added
world war ii - (added to site: Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:14:00 +0000)
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
world war ii - (added to site: Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:52:00 +0000)
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
world war ii - (added to site: Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:44:00 +0000)
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
world war ii - (added to site: Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:03:00 +0000)
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
world war ii - (added to site: Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:36:00 +0000)
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
world war ii - (added to site: Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:13:00 +0000)
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.
