I have a hard time beleiving that all the references stating the opposite of what you wrote are out to lunch or wrong about that. Zaloga's "in Action" book through Squadron was written probably 15 years before his Concord "Soviet Tanks in combat, 1941-1945". Both books have the vehicle nomenclature as a Model 1943. The Wolfgang Fleischer book also has the nomenclature as a 1943, as do Schiffer's "Captured Tanks Under the German Flag - Russian Battle Tanks", and several other references I've flipped through. Heck, the name of the Trumpeter 1/16th kit with the hexagonal turret is called a 1943, although I'll be the first to admit that using a kit name as a "source" is dubious.
Please understand, rather than starting a direct rant at you or start some silly online "flame-war", I'm more confused than anything else as to what vehicle goes with which nomenclature. I know the vehicle in question was produced in late 1942, but I always thought the nomenclature was based on vehicle service date, not necessarily when it was produced.
In complete fairness, though, I don't have that much info on T-34's, and I've never seen the elusive and possibly never-to-be-printed-in-English "T-34: Mystical Weapon" book. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if some Soviet-era edicts or documents laying around explaining all of this are locked away in some salt mine in Siberia. |
