Around 200 T-44s were produced. The T-44's hull was basically almost the same as the early version of the T-54. The turret of the T-44 was almost...
Aren't we getting confused with the 100mm guns? Are they talking about the 100mm D-10 gun as fitted to the SU-100 or the more powerful 100mm...

10 stored AP rounds must have surely been an issue around Tirgu Fromus in Romania in early May 1944. The IS-2s were not successful against the...
Are you refering to Hauptmann von Kaphengst? Hauptmann Heilmann? Hauptmann Schmidt? Hauptmann Tebbe? I wouldn't limit it to Jan 15th. The...
