And penetrations by those would have made small holes. However, looking at the archive about the study on exploding T-34 fuels tanks there was mention of ’cores of model 39/40 shells’. The explosive cavity was small on the improved shell model 39 so the Russians might have thought it was a solid core. The improvement in German shells came about at the same time that the hard plates were added to the T-34. Maybe the plates were an improvement that didn’t get a fair trial.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
