"A prototype T-43 tank upgraded with 90-110 mm of front armour and an XX mm gun was due #OTD in 1943. Such a tank was never built as two weeks prior it was decided that the tank could not be upgraded any further without becoming overweight. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII"

"@ApocalipsFarley If the plate was weaker than the hinge the path of least resistance for the shockwave would have been to break the hatch in half and escape from the side that wasn't locked. Instead the side that wasn't locked is still attached"

"#OTD in 1932 the Rheinmetall Grosstraktor was selected as the superior vehicle over the Krupp and Daimler-Benz designs. This was a hollow victory as none of the tanks were satisfactory and no future designs were derived from them. #tanks #history"

"#OTD in 1941 the Germans made a push along the shore of Lake Ladoga north of Tikhvin. If they had linked up with Finnish forces on the eastern side Leningrad would be completely cut off. However the offensive failed and the city's last lifeline held. #history #WW2 #WWII"

"#OTD in 1943 Hitler was shown a wooden model of the future Jagdtiger. Despite his excitement over the monstrously huge vehicle only a small number were built and it failed to have any impact on the course of the war. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII"
