@antonioio I did not know that! Something to do with the physiology or cognitive traits of women? Or both?

@antonioio The Soviet BT tanks that preceded the T34 were based on designs by the American Engineer J Walter Christie. The T34 was a new design by the Kharkov Komintern Locomotive Plant under the leadership of Mikhail Koshkin. The only relationship to America was that it used a suspension system originally developed by J Walter Christie. The T34 went on to become one of the most produced and successful tanks of WW2. Ironically while Christie’s suspension system was used by Soviet, Polish and British Tank Designer’s it was almost totally ignored by the Americans. America did design a Heavy Tank in 1945 which they strangely called the T34 and was supposed to be the US equivalent of a German Tiger Tank - only two of which were built
