An excellent photo of the Soviet T-35 multi-turret heavy tank of the Red Army Armored Forces, also known as Stalin’s Land Battleships. German Blitzkrieg to the east, victorious Operation Barbarossa.
Soviet heavy five-turret tank T-35, abandoned by its crew in the vicinity of Dubno in a roadside ditch due to a malfunction or lack of fuel. Such non-combat circumstances were the main reason for the loss of almost all T-35 tanks in the first weeks of the war.
Two white stripes on the T-35 turret are a tactical sign of the 67th Tank Regiment of the 34th Tank Division of the 8th Mechanized Corps of the Kiev Special Military District of the Red Army.
