Description
One of the most famous Soviet tanks of World War II: the T-34-85 named “Chervonny” (Червонный), commanded by Guard Junior Lieutenant Dmitry Georgievich Frolikov
On July 3, 1944, during Operation Bagration, Frolikov’s tank platoon was sent on a daring night reconnaissance mission into the German-occupied capital of Belarus. Tank No. 145 “Chervonny” was famously the very first Soviet tank to break into Minsk, catching the defenders completely by surprise
During the advance and subsequent street fighting, Frolikov’s single crew is credited with destroying 2 enemy tanks, 3 self-propelled guns, and up to 100 soft-skin transport vehicles
