Decisive Weapons Series 1
Episode 1 of 6

Series chronicling the impact of technology on warfare. How the Soviet T34 tank helped the Red Army fight back against the Germans in World War II.

The story of the Soviet T34 tank, the manufacture of which heralded the largest industrial migration in history. In 1941, the Soviets faced almost certain defeat by the Germans, until the arrival of the Red Army's ultra-secret new tank, the T-34. In the hands of those who built and then drove it, this was the tank that led the fightback, all the way to Hitler's bunker in 1945.
