Stalin’s Hotrods - The Soviet BT Tanks

BT Tank

In the interwar period the Soviets went hard on tank production, and a tank the communists took to war from Spain to Manchuria was the BT series, with suspension from an American racecar designer, a 500 horsepower engine, and a whopping (for the time) 45mm gun.

Come join us as we explore a machine that killed fascists long before the war began.

The episode also features an interview with Kurt from the Australian Museum of Armour and Artillery.
