Photo Travel: Reportage Photography: T-34 Tank Museum

 I tank you today.

Yes, for today's visual (photo) adventure, here is a story in photos (reportage photography) of a visit to the T-34 Tank Museum somewhere north of Moscow.

 

Tanks various in front of the museum building.

This is from a couple of years ago, if memory serves. Probably the summer of 2019.

These first photos are from the viewing area in front of the museum building.

Here is a Vostok Komandirskie tank watch and the very tank pictured on the dial which is a T-60.

Tank for the inquiring minds - you can walk and climb on it - but cannot get inside.

The Tsar Tank.

The Tsar Tank was maybe the world's largest tank built by Russia in the first World War, and this is a full-size replica.

I don't think it was ever fielded though.

It was supposed to carry lots of machine guns.

And now moving inside.

The famous Kulchitsky jump in a BT-7, longest tank jump in the world.

Tank armor weld seam. 

The Germans never mastered tank armor welding, among other things, nor could they build a tank diesel engine to save their lives, their tanks were gas guzzlers that ran on petrol for the entire war, the supplies of which were scarce to begin with and ended up being even scarcer.

A period machine gun which was dated at the time but still use widely together with quite a few new designs.

A diarama painting.

Diarama fragments.

The entire painting.

That's all for now, to be continued.
