T 34 post ww2 casualities and use
This is a discussion on T 34 post ww2 casualities and use within the Russia and Soviet Union armour, artillery and vehicles forums,
part of the Armour. Vehicles. Artillery category in War relics forum; I think they Syrians used some Panzer IVs in the 1973 war, would be interesting to see if any of ...
Here's a PzIV on the Golan Heights in about '73. The other one is in an Israeli museum, captured as war booty, note the Syrian Sturmgeschutz III behind it.
Regards, Ned.
P.S. Note the original Balkenkreuz showing through the faded paint on the last pic!

Good pictures
The Panzer in the first picture is the Syrian army in Six Days War
June 1967 and not 1973 it was in a post over looking the Israeli
Jordan valley .
on the golan heights there are still some t34 laying around. most likely as decoy targets. btw is it possible to fire the gun of a t34 manually without starting the engine and electricity supply?

The gun on T-34 is fully mechanical, and you can shot just with the turret and without the tank itself
The Syrians had been running PzIV since the end of WWII, they purchased alot of the scrap PzIV's from Normandy from the French scrap dealers, a good quality reliable tank. Makes you wonder what would have happened had the Germans just maxed the production of PzIV's as oposed to the many different tank designs from 43 to 45??
