#OTD in 1940 an order for a second batch of Panzerjager I casemates was signed with Krupp. The second batch offered slightly better protection for the gun crew from the sides, but they were still completely exposed from the top and rear. #tanks #history #WWII #WW2

The T-26-4 was an artillery support version of the T-26 tank, mounting a short 76 mm gun in an enlarged turret. The idea was promising, but an accident during trials that took place #OTD in 1935 led to the termination of the program. #tanks #history

The KV-1S had a whole new turret compared to the KV-1. A meeting to review ergonomics assessments was conducted #OTD in 1942. Even though the turret was smaller, it was more comfortable for the crew due to a better layout and distribution of duties. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Germany needed to replenish its stock light tanks after losses taken in the campaigns in Poland and France. #OTD in 1940 a decision was made to concentrate Pz.Kpfw.II production at FAMO and the newly taken over Ursus factory in Poland #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The German 563rd Tank Destroyer Battalion carried out field penetration trials against a KV-1 tank #OTD in 1941. The 105 mm howitzer could dent the armour but not penetrate it even at a range of 200 meters. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The USSR didn't plan on making T-60 tanks, but had to quickly come up with something to meet a new demand for light tanks. The result was arguably the worst tank that the Red Army ever fielded. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Soviet trials of disruptive winter camouflage began #OTD in 1941. The famous "tire track" camouflage scheme was developed as a result, but in practice units used a wide variety of patterns throughout the war. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The Canadian Army Technical Development Board presented a model of a welded Skink turret #OTD in 1944 and received permission to build two prototypes. The welded turret turned out to be too complex and the Skink was built with a cast one instead. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

#OTD in 1939 the Polish 21st Light Tank Battalion armed with French Renault R 35 tanks crossed the border into Romania. The tankers later escaped to France, but their tanks were put into service with the Romanian army. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The Challenger had nearly no effect on the battles in Normandy. It was not available in large numbers until August, but #OTD in 1944 a tank from the 11th AD managed to destroy a Panther, showing the value of the 17-pounder in battle. #tanks #history #ww2 #WWII

#OTD in 1931 the Germans pivoted from their existing tank development direction. The new tank codenamed Kleintraktor (small tractor) was based on a Vickers tractor. It later grew into the Pz.Kpfw.I, Germany's first mass produced tank. #tanks #history

For example, German troops were instructed to climb up onto a T-34 with a bucket of mud and cover its viewports. It's unclear how this technique was supposed to be executed in combat. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

There is no such thing as an invincible tank. #OTD in 1941 instructions were distributed among German troops showing how to stop even the newest Soviet tanks, although some of these methods bordered on suicidal. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Spaced armour to protect German medium tanks from Soviet anti-tank rifles was introduced in 1943. A lighter version made of tightly woven wire mesh rather than solid plate was put into production #OTD in 1944. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
