Overview:

In the early days of Operation Barbarossa, the Germans encountered the best Russian tanks for the first time, as a small group of T-34s and KV-1s counterattacked. The appearance of these technologically superior Soviet tanks came as a nasty shock to the Germans, as they saw repeated shots from their standard 37mm anti-tank guns bounce off the heavy armor of the Russian behemoths. Even the 50mm and 75mm guns of the PzkwIII and IV respectively fared no better, with the panzers scoring repeated non-penetrating hits. Like seemingly unstoppable metal monsters, the Soviet tanks rumbled into the German lines.
