Since when did this become a ww2 forum well anyway ill have to really disagree with you on the fact that the T-34s were junk.Yes they were hurriedly built and poorly finished by western standards but the T-34/76 was nevertheless a superb fighting machine.In 1943 the existing panzers couldnt adequately oppose against the T-34/76,the germans were forced to develop a new tank the panther.Also the T-34 was regarded as the worlds best tank at the time so it wasnt "junk".As far as Germany beig on the defensive in Russia due to the buildup of the American army in England is false.Hitler was on the defensive because Russia was kicking his ass most troops that were defending the western front were militia and hitler youth.The famed 12th SS panzer division that defended the western front was a Hitler youth division.The Sherman tank had a 75mm gun btw.In fact to destroy a german tiger tank the shermans had to hit it from the side or behind and yes the Tiger was the best tank of its day but soo few were actually produced.Any way it was the Allies that defeated Germany not one country alone defeated GermANY.Unless of course you grew up in America were you were taught otherwise
