While Red Army tank crews fought on the front, a vast industrial army of workers kept them supplied. This episode explores the Soviet tank industry during World War II — the evacuation of over 1,500 factories east of the Urals in 1941, the harrowing conditions at Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant (dubbed 'Tankograd'), the women and teenagers who worked 16-hour shifts in freezing workshops, and the rivalry between designers like Kotin and Koshkin. We discuss how the T-34 was continuously improved on the assembly line, the role of chief engineer Nikolay Kucherenko, and the cost in human lives. By 1945, Soviet factories had produced over 100,000 tanks — more than Germany. But the price was paid in exhaustion, malnutrition, and industrial accidents. A story of grit, desperation, and the unsung heroes behind the Red Army's armored fist. #SovietTankIndustry #Tankograd #Chelyabinsk #T34 #IS2 #NikolayKucherenko #ZhosefKotin #MikhailKoshkin #EasternFront #WWII #SovietUnion #Evacuation #LendLease #IndustrialWar #History #FexingoHistory #RedArmy #TotalWar Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
