The T-34 Tank was the best general purpose tank of the war. The Germans first saw this tank during the Operation Barabarossa ( Invasion of the Soviet Union). Russian forces were strongest in the south and of course that is where you find the T-34. General Ewald von Kleist's Panzer Group was the German force in the south, they've lost a lot a men, but the Russians have lost a lot more. But on June 23 the first Panzer would meet the T-34 and again losses were heavy. The Russians were able to completely stop the German advance, but they were now delivering heavy blows.
