During the first four months of the war T-28 tanks were used in two
very atypical and famous actions. The first was in the very early days
of July when a lone T-28 charged through the streets of Minsk that
were full of German troops.
The second was in early October when, once again, a single, very old
T-28 armed with an L-11 gun was taken from a training center and
successfully used to block a road among the forests on the way to
Moscow. This T-28 command tank was captured by the Germans somewhere
in the western part of the Soviet Union
