A turret from a King Tiger tank was recovered in good condition #OTD in 1944 and sent to the UK for analysis. Tests showed that the quality and consistency of German armour was slipping, even if the thickness of it kept increasing. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Japan purchased a Tiger tank and blueprints from Germany during the Second World War. The plan was to disassemble the tank and send it to Japan by submarines, but #OTD in 1944 the tank was pressed into service by the Germans and never made it to Japan. #tanks #History #WWII #WW2

The American 76 mm gun was so well received that there were some who were for producing Shermans exclusively with this weapon. #OTD in 1943 it was established that a mix of high and low velocity guns would be best with 25% of Shermans armed with a 76 mm #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

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

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

#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 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

Assembly of the IS-6 (Object 252) prototype began #OTD in 1944. This tank aimed to fill an intermediate role between the IS-2 and future IS-4, but it was plagued with issues and could not compete with the IS-3 that was tested around the same time. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

#OTD in 1955 Czechoslovakia signed a deal to supply arms to Egypt, including refurbished StuG 40 assault guns and license-built copies of T-34-85 tanks. Many T-34-85s seen in museums today are tanks that were sold in this deal. #tanks #history #ColdWar

#OTD in 1936 the USSR established a plan to recover steel in wartime in order to recycle it for the defense industry. This policy came in handy five years later, enabling tank production of colossal scope. #tanks #history #WWII #WW2
