I have got a real soft spot tor the T34-85 ..... A real favourite of mine, if only the armour was stronger could have been a real winner

 

[Sempai]

Then You should take a look on the T-44, I think.

The T-34 of all stripes was actually quite the winner. The M4 Sherman as well! Not sexy like the German tanks, but quite successful.

That launching themselves off the train flatcars was quite something.

Never seen that before.

Then look the first video - there a T-55 does the same! In the NVA that was a standard emergency move. Even though not so often executed since the wagons were much battered after that.

Estonia orders removal of a monument to the Soviet tank T-34 in the city of Narva.
The dismantling took place by virtue of the decision of the Estonian Government to withdraw from public space before the end of the year the military monuments erected during the time of the USSR.

Great looking T-34. Any idea where it is going?

 

[Louis]

Any idea where it is going?

"...to the Estonian War Museum in Viimsi, a town north of the capital, Tallinn..."

Wonder what that truck in the back on the right side is for?

 

[Gunner]

Looks like a couple of porto-potties.

Maybe a pair of generators and gas tanks for welding?
