Hello everyone,
Wargaming produced a really interesting movie about a crew restoring the T-34 tank. There are hardcoded subtitles in English, so you will understand :) It’s actually really nicely done.
PS: In case you are interested what is written on the T-34 turret at the end of the movie, it’s “smert vragu” – “death to the enemy”.
Very interesting. I hope there will be more of these, especially with german tanks.
they really deaserve a medal. who the hell gives such a low pay for just a interesting job!?
Good work ;) , does anybody know why the lower part of the turret looks like that?
I don’t know exactly, so take this as an educated guess.
The “shell” of the turret is cast armor steel. The interior parts and the mounting are possibly “mild steel”, and welded onto the turret “shell”. The cast parts are angled armor, and it’s either difficult or impossible to cast the underside of the turret in one piece to connect to the ring. You can see a horizontal weld seam on “complete” cast turret shells like the T-34/85 and IS. This is where the lower casting and upper casting are joined. The T-34 “model 1943″ had no lower half-shell. This appears to be the “Uralmash/Chelyabinsk” cast turret (different factories had different details)
At first I was wondering how is it possible that these proletariat people never swear, but then grandpa showed up and swore for them all.
They must be a bit camera shy too. They are not professional PR people.
The part where they were putting the turret on the top of the hull, epic music was playing and they were swearing and almost constantly you could only hear bleeps was so epic it almost made me cry.
Ummh, what are they trying to imply at 31:40 ?
Drunkards?
Really liked the film and the way it was made. These people are awesome, shame they have to work in such conditions.
The lean and calm “outside eye” style of documentary certainly is a break from the usual noisy and aggressive American show-off.
They did very good work. Without these workers, we cannot keep this piece of history.
But btw: anyone knows the music at 12:24?
Ah the SPG crack… Liking it already.
Just finished watching it and was impressed.
Beautifully done. Powerful.
they are getting ready to invade Ukraine with some strong t34?
restoring t-34 BS. i came here to see steel, not feelings and emotions.
I suppose you prefer “this” : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BO1VLYpCmtg
Enjoyed that – thanks.
Very nice work by these guys, they really like what they are doing. It was very touching to see their dedication. It is a shame they dont get better facilities.
Very impressive production values. A great video.
Great video and even greater men. All my respect to them.
