Tanks ww2 in Finland?

[jollyjack]

Were any of the existing TC tanks present in ww2 Finland, and is there any information on them?

Found only this:  https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/finland/stug-iii-ausf-g-in-finnish-service/

 

And this Renault FT seems very much used:

During the Winter War, they almost had no tanks. During the Continuation War, they mainly used Panzer 4s, StuGs and captured Soviet tanks

The Soviets had some interesting tanks though! T-35, T-100, T-26 for instance!

Hi,

Of the TC tanks only Stug III and T-34-76 would be historically accurate for Finns in summer 1944 battles at Karelian Isthmus.

Finland got some Pz IVJ:s but these came too late for the battles against Soviets. Stug III was the main vechile used. few captured T-34-76 were in action against Soviets.  

Then from Soviet side almost everyhting goes except Sherman. There were even some Churchills seen in photos.

Yes. There were nine T34/85s in Finnish use, which of seven saw action at summer 1944, but TC don't have those.

Hi,

If you use Google search you can find quite much information .

 

Finns had also different models of T-34/76. and four of those were used in summer 1944.
