History
When the first T-34-85’s delivered by Zavod appeared, they were given to the best units, the elite Red Guards battalions.
However, they were in training during December 1943, so it is uncertain whether they saw action before January or February 1944.
By then, around 400 had already been delivered to front-line units and instantly became popular with the crews.
They gradually replaced the T-34/76 and in mid-1944 the T-34-85 outnumbered the older versions.
