German Field Marshal von Kleist, who commanded the latter stages of Barbarossa, called it 'the finest tank in the world'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing original wartime documents author and historian Peter Samsonov, creator of the Tank Archives blog, explains how the Soviets came to develop what was arguably the war's most revolutionary tank design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911658306\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 9.8 Inches, Length: 7.3 Inches, Weight: 0.50265395736 Pounds, Width: 0.1 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Samsonov","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51864369135923,"sku":"9781911658306","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/17337343482868.jpg?v=1754225286","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/designing-the-t-34","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
