Summary[edit]

Description

Soviet WW2 era Medium Tank Built by STZ (Stalingrad Tractor Plant), this T-34 was still almost new when it was captured by Finnish forces in October 1941. It was the first intact T-34 captured by Finnish Forces and was given the nickname “Sotka” (Pochard), a name which was soon commonly used for all T-34/76s. It was initially put into Finnish service as ‘R-105’, later being renumbered ‘Ps.231-2’. It served until 1955 and is now part of the Finnish Military Museum, Finland’s national military collection. Loaned to The Tank Museum at Bovington during 2017, it had only recently arrived when seen in the ‘Tank Park’ during TankFest 2017. ‘The Tank Museum’, Bovington Camp, Dorset, UK.
