The T-34 is not as good as you think it is

**Disclaimer:

This video was made when my channel had around 1,000 subscribers and I viewed Youtube as a hobby, not as something I'd have to take seriously. Its purpose was to annoy a lot of tank nerds that I personally found annoying, who talk as if the T-34 was a God among peasants in terms of tank technology and performance and are incredibly thin skinned if you so much as dare to question its prowess.

As such I approached the topic from the view point of a tank nerd and not as a Historian.

While I do not disagree with anything this video says, I do feel if I made this video today I would have approached the subject entirely differently and plan to remake it at some point in the future.***

===============================

In his worst multi-award seeking documentary to date, unemployed schizophrenic, and low-tier Youtuber Lazerpig invites us on a journey into the mystical realms of WWII's greatest myths. In this episode, we concentrate on the T-34 Tank, a legend in its own right, forged in the very fires of Soviet Russia by the hands of Stalin himself.

This tank brought the Germans to their knees, vastly superior to all their pathetic tanks with its revolutionary sloped armor and wide tracks it erupted in great unlimited waves which crashed down into Germany and ended the hopes and dreams of Tiny Tash Man and his Third Reich.

Or did it?

Does the T-34 deserve the Legend it has become or is it all a fabrication in the minds of Soviet Russia's own version of the wehraboo. The great, mythical Commieboo.

Come with me on a journey into the unknown, but be warned, the truth may not be what you expect.
