The T-34 /76 was designed in the 1938 when the Red Army found that the BT-7 would no longer be effective on a modern battlefield. On December 19, 1939 the new vehicle was designated T-34 and ordered into full production.It would take until July of 1940.for production to begin, and by the end of that year only 117 examples would be completed. An order for 600 tanks was placed for the following year. These tanks were to be built at the Stalingrad Tractor Factory and the Kharkov Locomotive Factory (No. 83). All of this would take place under extreme secrecy because of the deteriorating international situation.Re-equipping new units with the T-34/76 was very slow. Many modifications were made to the T-34/76 during its service life. The first was to replace the L/30 76.2mm cannon with a more advanced L/40 gun of the same caliber. Other versions used rolled plate armor on its turret. A later modification had a larger turret with two hatches in place of the original single hatch. A later version with a hexagonal turret had the ability to mount external fuel tanks for increased range. Later models would have a cast turret. These were usually of a very rough finish and many would even go into battle without a coat of paint.It was soon found that the T-34/76 would need further improvement if it was to compete against the more advanced tanks that the German army was beginning to field in quantity. The Germans had even designed their latest tank, the Panther, to be superior to the T-34/76. The Soviet army decided to use the larger gun found on the KV-85 in a new version of the T-34. This version came to be known as T-34/85 and entered service in 1943. All work on T-34/76 ended the following year with a total production run of 35,099 tanks in just five years.

Hanomag ss100/V-2/Meillerwagen

The Wehrmacht heavy tractor multi-purpose vehicle Hanomag SS-100 was produced from 1936 to 1945. Originally manufactured in 1936 as the SP-100 heavy agriculture tractor, it was quickly pressed into military service with both the Wehrmacht and the Luftwaffe, and became one of the most widely used heavy tractors in German military service. Powered by a8550 cc6-cylinder D85 diesel engine, it could accommodate up to five passengers and a driver and supported a variety of supplemental equipment attached to the rear frame. Among other things, V2 units used used it to tow the Meillerwagen, which transported the V2 rocket to the launch site and erected the rocket into firing position before fuelling.After 1945 it was produced in France as the ST-100. Known in the civilian world as the 'Gigant', Hanomag road tractors of all sizes were popular as offroad transport well into the 1960's.

Designed by the German Army Research CenterPeenemünde during World War II, the Meillerwagen was a trailer used to transport V-2 rockets to the launching point in order to erect the missile onto the firing stand, and to act as a service gantry for fuelling the rocket with hydrogen peroxide from a 126 liter tank. It was moved via hand winches to the firing stand, and then levelled using the two screw-jacks mounted on extendable outriggers for launch preparation. The hydraulic erecting frame suspended the rocket vertically as the rocket stand was raised up until the rocket could be clamped into a collar, after which the Meillerwagen was uncoupled for fuelling the rocket with A, B, P, and T-stoff before withdrawing for launch. The total time from arriving at the launch pad to firing the rocket officially took 110 minutes to perform.
