#OTD in 1939 a raiding party was organized by the Red Army. This party stole a number of vehicles from a vehicle yard in German-occupied Poland, including a Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf.C tank. Analysis revealed a lot of information about German tank building. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

A mesh to protect against shaped charges was tested #OTD in 1944 by the 7th Armoured Brigade. This method offered good protection against the Panzerfaust 30, but not the larger and more powerful Panzerfaust 60. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The first Medium Tanks M7 were delivered #OTD in 1942. This tank was initially envisioned as a light tank, but ballooned into a medium one during development. It was promptly cancelled as it offered no advantages over the Sherman. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Some Panzergrandiers in action from this weekend's mission.

Combat Car M1E2. The running gear was modified #OTD in 1935. This resulting layout with VVSS bogeys went on to be used on all American tanks for nearly a decade. #tanks #history

#OTD in 1942 the third iteration of the Maus design was presented to Hitler for approval. The tank now weighed 130 tons, a third greater than the initially proposed limit of 100 tons. It would proceed to grow by almost 60 tons more. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The Red Army captured large quantities of Pz.Kpfw.III tanks, enough to build the SG-122 and SU-76I vehicles on its chassis. A fatal verdict was issued for these programs #OTD in 1943: engines on captured tanks were too worn out for further service. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

High power 122 and 152 mm guns for the SU-152 were pitched #OTD in 1943 to fight against prospective German superheavy tanks. These weapons ended up being tested on the ISU-152 chassis a year later, but the program slowly died since no such tanks came. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Soviet trials of a Panther tank finished #OTD in 1943. The trials lasted for two months, but the tank ran for less than 14 hours in that time, as it constantly needed repairs. The Panther was catastrophically unreliable. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

#OTD in 1943 the Commanding General of the Army Service Forces declined an ambitious request to build 500 T23 tanks, 500 T25 tanks, 500 T26 tanks, and 500 T71 (M36) tank destroyers. In the end, 2324 GMC M36 alone were built. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

#OTD in 1941 the Chelyabinsk Tractor Factory and Leningrad Kirov Factory merged to form the Chelyabinsk Kirov Factory. ChKZ became one of the USSR's most prominent tank factories and the core of the industrial giant that came to be known as Tankograd. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

A GBTU meeting was held #OTD in 1943 to discuss what upgrades need to be made to the T-43 to keep it competitive. The thicker armour and larger gun required pushed the weight past reasonable limits for a medium tank, resulting in its cancellation. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

T-34 production was at risk in 1941 due to a shortage of V-2 diesel engines. #OTD in 1941 the use of supercharged M-17 gasoline engines was temporarily authorized. 943 tanks were built this way before supplies recovered in the spring of 1942. #tanks #history #WWII #WW2

#OTD in 1944 Major General John R. Deane wrote to his colleagues in the USSR inquiring about any information on the newly discovered "Tiger Imperial" tank. The Americans only captured a Tiger Ausf.B for study later that year. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

#OTD in 1944 Germany's Tank Commission decided to rationalize production to just three tank chassis: the Jagdpanzer 38D, Panther, and Tiger II. Any dreams of superheavy "wonder weapons" that Germany could have fielded in 1945 or 1946 died here. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
