T -35 Model 1935, 34th Tank Division, 8th Mechanized Corps, southern
sector of Eastern Front, July 1941
The T-35s were probably the only tanks in the Soviet Army during the
summer of 1941 that carried the red stars on the side of the hull as a
national marking. All of these vehicles were painted in the same way.
i.e .. with dark olive-green on all surfaces. Some of them still
carried remains of the pre-war marking system. which indicated the
battalions and companies within regiments. In this case. the tank has
two small bars painted on the turret in red (top) and white (bottom).
indicating 2nd Company of 1st Battalion.
