"The 102nd Flamethrower Battalion was composed of captured French Char B1 tanks with flamethrowers in their hulls. #OTD in 1941 less than a month into Operation Barbarossa the battalion was disbanded and its tanks were returned to France for repairs. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII" @Tank_Archives on X 2025-07-18 13:53:22 UTC 46.4K followers, 3551 engagements
"A Canadian Sherman VC (Firefly) camouflaged with foliage photographed #OTD in 1944. The long barrel was disguised by grass as well but almost all of it has fallen away. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII" @Tank_Archives on X 2025-07-17 15:03:34 UTC 46.4K followers, 6537 engagements
"Sweden was interested in purchasing Czech LT vz.38 tanks but Germany decided that their satellite would work exclusively for them. #OTD in 1940 the contract was cancelled and the tanks were pressed into German service as the Pz.Kpfw.38(t) Ausf.S. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII" @Tank_Archives on X 2025-07-18 21:49:41 UTC 46.4K followers, 3191 engagements
"The first T-50 tanks to reach their end users were shipped out #OTD in 1941 to tank commander training courses in Leningrad. These tanks were very rare on the battlefield both due to low production numbers and a raw unrefined design. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII" @Tank_Archives on X 2025-07-16 13:12:15 UTC 46.4K followers, 4201 engagements
"#OTD in 1945 the first elements of the 6th Guards Tank Army began to form up in Choibalsan Mongolia.

"Other methods of disguising the long barrel such as counter-shading with white paint under the barrel and a false XX mm barrel on the back of the turret were also tried. The counter-shading technique was the most popular" @Tank_Archives on X 2025-07-17 15:03:34 UTC 46.4K followers, 1104 engagements
"Krupp was originally contracted to build just the turret for the B.W. tank but managed to push through a contract for two hulls as well #OTD in 1935. The result was superior to Rheinmetall's design and so it was accepted into service as the Pz.Kpfw.IV. #tanks #history" @Tank_Archives on X 2025-07-13 17:39:25 UTC 46.4K followers, 2908 engagements
"Study of captured Ferdinand tank destroyers began #OTD in 1943 right on the battlefield before the Battle of Kursk was finished. Soviet specialists got a good idea of how the Ferdinand performed in combat even before a vehicle was recovered for trials. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII" @Tank_Archives on X 2025-07-16 02:20:10 UTC 46.4K followers, 6487 engagements

It would go on to become the most numerous SPG of the Second World War. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII" @Tank_Archives on X 2025-07-10 01:24:48 UTC 46.4K followers, 2655 engagements
"#OTD in 1941 the Soviet tank directorate rejected a proposal for a 6-ton light airborne tank that could be towed behind a plane like a glider. A similar project was already in the works but only one prototype was built and rejected after one test flight #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII" @Tank_Archives on X 2025-07-16 00:51:49 UTC 46.4K followers, 1987 engagements
"Factory trials of the D-5T-122 XXX mm howitzer finished successfully #OTD in 1943. Unfortunately by that point a howitzer was no longer considered a suitable weapon for a tank and it was not accepted into service. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII" @Tank_Archives on X 2025-07-15 19:07:14 UTC 46.4K followers, 1711 engagements
"The chief designer at ChKZ Zhosef Kotin signed the blueprints for installation of the XXX mm D-25T gun into the Object XXX tank #OTD in 1943. This tank was designated Object XXX and later accepted into service as the IS-122 or IS-2 heavy tank. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII" @Tank_Archives on X 2025-07-17 04:26:24 UTC 46.4K followers, 1793 engagements
"This tank was called T-30. It soon evolved into the T-60 a much better known vehicle. There is some debate about how useful a light tank with a XX mm autocannon was by 1941 but timely delivery of these tanks was crucial in the Battle of Moscow. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII" @Tank_Archives on X 2025-07-14 18:25:01 UTC 46.4K followers, 1236 engagements

"The Soviet government wanted to set up T-50 tank production at automotive factories but the tank was too heavy and complex. #OTD a pitch was made to build a simplified variant of the T-40 amphibious reconnaissance tank instead. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII" @Tank_Archives on X 2025-07-14 18:25:00 UTC 46.4K followers, 2112 engagements
"@SClark51032281 This isn't a problem for a vehicle designed to stay back and shoot from a distance. The SU-122 only had pistol ports for close defense for example. The problem is that the Ferdinands were foolishly used in the first echelon of the attack" @Tank_Archives on X 2025-07-16 13:18:09 UTC 46.4K followers, XXX engagements
"Negotiations with General Electric to build a tank transmission began #OTD in 1940. The result was the Heavy Tank T1E1. The electric transmission made even this vehicle easy to drive but it was very expensive heavy and complicated. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII" @Tank_Archives on X 2025-07-12 01:06:28 UTC 46.4K followers, 2075 engagements
"#OTD in 1944 the British published new penetration diagrams for the Panther tank based on experience in Normandy. Despite previous estimates the 17-pounder could penetrate the front of the turret at long ranges even without the powerful APDS shot. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII" @Tank_Archives on X 2025-07-19 04:13:16 UTC 46.4K followers, 8779 engagements
