In this film, join Chris Copson as we explore which of these two titans made the biggest contribution to Allied victory in WWII. Both tanks were produced in massive numbers, and both had their strengths and weaknesses within the Iron Triangle. But the Sherman and the T-34 were built and used in completely different contexts, and each brought their own innovations to the battlefield. Which of these tanks really won WWII? Watch this video to find out more!
