Is there a T-34 tank on the tractor production line of the most powerful agricultural machinery factory in World War II?

The manufacturer of T-34 medium tank? Agricultural machinery factory? , is the Stalingrad tractor factory in the Great Patriotic War. It also vividly proves that the huge war potential of the Soviet Union ruthlessly crushed Nazi Germany, and the starved camel was still bigger than the horse.

T-34 is also the protagonist of cosplay Great Patriotic War in modern Russia.

Simply from the name of Stalingrad tractor factory, it is just an agricultural machinery factory that produces tractors.

Yes, this is its functional orientation before the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War.

This agricultural machinery factory in Stalingrad, a heavy industrial city, is a large state-owned enterprise that is highly valued. The whole set of equipment in this factory is made in America. According to the data, more than 80 manufacturers in the United States once participated in the construction of the factory, not only in the United States, but also in the later installation, the Germans also made a lot of efforts. Honeymoon? German technicians are actively helping the Soviet Union to build a socialist industrialized country.

In peacetime, the tractors produced by Stalingrad Tractor Factory account for more than half of the national output every year.

This is its normal way of opening.

In a blink of an eye, during the Battle of Stalingrad, this agricultural machinery factory urgently modified its production line to produce T-34 tanks until the war came to the factory. The Soviet army sent a division and a mixed brigade to the tractor factory to maintain the normal production and maintenance of tanks. Workers in the tractor factory fought back against the enemy while insisting on production in endless hunger and war, and some workers were even exhausted on the production line.

Because they all know that once Stalingrad falls, the whole western industrial zone will be completely occupied, the east-west traffic will be cut off, and Germany can enter the Caucasus region rich in grain and oil, which means that its motherland has almost no chance to turn over.

At this critical juncture, the Soviet Union's violent aesthetics played a key role.

Seiko with Germany? Zoo? Armored weapons series are different. At this time, the T-34 medium tank does not consider the engine life, let alone the engine life. Subsequent maintenance? The problem is that it can last for 48 hours. In fact, this is really the law. After two days, operators and armored weapons have to be replaced, and 48 hours is almost the limit.

In fact, in the consumption and stalemate stage of the campaign, who are the two sides fighting for? Is it large? .

Look at Germany again, because it's not a local war, those? Tiger? Huh? Leopard? Ah, their engine life was consumed in the vast land of the Soviet Union, all the way to the gates of Stalingrad, and its performance was not much better than that of the T-34 made by the tractor factory.

Moreover, the big bad T-34 tank itself is simple in design, easy to produce and suitable for assembly line and spare parts. In this case, the tractor production line has been changed into a tank assembly line, and the technicians who build tractors can start building tanks after emergency training.

At this time, the task undertaken by the tractor factory is mainly to assemble tanks together, including tracks, chassis, turrets, main guns, machine guns and several small parts. As long as there are enough skilled workers and parts, tanks can continuously open production lines. ....

Tanks made on these tractor production lines are directly off the production line without any debugging and testing, and tank soldiers are driven to the front line to participate in the battle. In times of crisis, simply trained workers, as tank drivers, directly drove the newly-built tanks out of the factory to face the Germans.

But by the middle of 1942+00, the Germans launched the third onslaught, with the focus of firepower on tractor factories, roadblock factories and the Red October factory, which provided war resources for the Soviet Union. As a result, Stalingrad Industrial Zone has also become the most tragic place in the whole campaign.

At the beginning of the war, there were thousands of workers in Stalingrad tractor factory, but as the front line approached, most of the workers died in their own jobs or in their own production in Tanqueray.

By the end of the war, due to the serious damage to the factory and the difficulty in assembling parts, new tanks could not be produced normally, and only the tanks damaged in the battle could be repaired.

Even in the most critical period of the campaign, the city has been occupied by 80%? In 90% of the area, the militia of various factories are still stubbornly resisting. While defending the factory, they also insisted on repairing weapons, and sometimes even rushed to the forefront to repair tanks; Some civilians with only simple combat training took up arms to defend the city. In Stalingrad during the war, there were fierce gun battles in almost every street, building and factory.

After the fierce battle, the German army often found that the difficult enemy was actually a woman in a skirt or a teenage boy or girl.

After the war, Stalingrad tractor factory resumed production, but it was not the main production place of agricultural machinery long ago. PT-76 amphibious tank was manufactured from 195 1, which is also the most productive amphibious tank in the world. In addition, other famous products include BMD series paratroopers, 2S25 tank destroyer and so on. Their main products are mass and solid quality.

In the 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union? Privatization? At the climax, Stalingrad Tractor Factory was integrated into four companies, whose business directions were real estate development and agricultural machinery manufacturing. Among them, the predecessor of Stalingrad tractor factory is now Volgograd tractor factory. In the Russian era, he began to return to his old job, mainly producing all kinds of agricultural machinery.

In fact, there is nothing to look back on. After all, Russia is also a world grain exporter. In peacetime, the benefits of producing tractors are more obvious than building tanks.
