EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the aftermath of a fierce battle during the early days of World War II, as a Soviet T-28 multi-turreted medium tank lies destroyed in a field, with its crew members tragically still inside. The T-28, a formidable tank of its time, was first introduced into service in 1933 and was equipped with multiple turrets, each carrying a 76.2mm gun. However, its thick armor and powerful armament were no match for the advancing German forces in 1941. The scene depicted in this photograph is believed to have taken place during the early stages of the Eastern Front campaign, likely in the summer or fall of 1941. The T-28, knocked out in combat, sits abandoned in a field, its turrets silent and lifeless. The dead crew members are shown slumped in their stations, a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. The photograph is part of The Peter Butt Aviation Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a vast archive of historical aviation and military imagery. The collection offers a unique insight into the history of military technology and the human experience of war, from the early days of flight to the present day. This image, in particular, serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on the ground, and the devastating impact of war on both individuals and machinery.
