In what most be the saddest/strangest story of the day, three people have been killed and six injured trying to defuse a World War II bomb in central Germany.

The 500-kilogram (1,100 pound) bomb was found late Tuesday in the town of Goettingen. All the dead and injured were in the process of removing the explosive. Police are examining how the bomb went off while experts were preparing to defuse it. The men who died were specialists with vast experience in this field. “Suddenly there was a muffled blast,” Goettingen fire department official Frank Gloth told broadcaster ZDF, adding that the bomb (which exploded “without warning”) was discovered at a sports-stadium construction site.

The T-34 was American designed and built.

Unfortunately, we stuck our people in shitty Shermans.

NEEK!

Designed? Sort of. T-34 is based on the BT design, which in turn is largely based on Walter Christie's M1928. However, the design changed a lot throughout the war. Built? No. They were built in various Soviet factories, most notably in Gorky.

Technically you're right, but the first Christie tanks were sold to the Russians under the nose of State and Defense.

Also, without Lend-Lease, there would be no way to get those tanks built and to the front.

Fair enough.
