No I'm pretty sure its the same one I was reading about in the north African campaign stuff I was reading. Let me double check. It is a soviet tank, perhaps I misread I went back and it doesn't say anything about them in Africa specifically. It was a counter to the panzers. Which at the time it completely outclassed in one on on combat. I found my mistake it says many of them are stored in depots in Africa today. I think this still at least worth a passing grade for the assignment lol.
Ha ha! Made you research something. ;-)
I love researching! I read almost all the time about something or another. Mostly IT related stuff due to my job and I like the work but history is fun too as they say those who do not study their history are doomed to repeat it. Honestly if I had my way I would probably just listen to music and read about physics all day. Once upon a time I came up with a theory to explain gravity but it was utter nonsense.
Strangely enough, gravitation is less well understood than most laypeople think. We're reasonably confident that it exists - and have calculations that let us accurately predict the effects, but we aren't actually sure what causes it. It appears to be a function of mass.
It gets even worse at the quantum level, and we're well and truly baffled by it. The disconnect between classical and quantum physics is partially due to gravity behaving poorly at sub-atomic levels. Particles just don't behave very well.
