	Marder (Marten) Series
		The Germans saw a need for this vehicle type in the summer of 1941 with the appearance of new Soviet armored fighting vehicles, especially the T-34/76 series of medium tanks and the heavy KV series tanks.
		Vehicles of the Marder series were based on proven chassis of obsolete tanks, as well as on those of captured French tanks.
		Vehicles of the Marder series were not introduced in order as their designations would imply and Marder II Sd.Kfz.132 was the first of the series.

	SU-85 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The SU-85 was a Soviet self-propelled antitank gun used during World War II, based on the chassis of the T-34 medium tank.
		Unlike earlier Soviet self-propelled guns which were meant to serve as either assault guns or antitank weapons, this vehicle was a dedicated tank destroyer.
		The SU-85 was succeeded in production by the improved SU-100 late in 1944.

	Japanese Ordnance Material of WW II
		Their fighting compartments tended to be cramped, even for the smaller physique of the average Japanese (I can't cite the source but remember reading that the statistical average height for recruits accepted into the Japanese Army during World War II was five feet three inches).
		Japanese armor is often dismissed rather hastily in writing about the Second World War, in part because of the small size and general unimpressiveness of most Japanese designs (at least by European standards), and also because of the relatively limited numbers of tanks the Japanese were able to produce during the war.
		The chief Japanese tankette during World War II was easily the Type 97, also known as the "Te-Ke" (I believe this was just a Japanese phoneticizing of the abbreviation "TK" for "tankette"-- as opposed to tank-- a designation which was also retained by the Poles for their vehicles of this class).

	T-26 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		During the Spanish civil war republican Spain received 362 T-26 model 1933 which were found superior to the German Panzer I.
		The T-26 was also used against Finland during the Winter War, and its armour was found inadequate against the Finnish anti-tank weapons.
		A lot of Soviet T-26s were abandoned or destroyed during 1941 battles of the WWII, then this type came out of use.

	Middle East Open Encyclopedia: T-35 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The T-35 was a Soviet multi-turreted heavy tank of the interwar period and early Second World War that saw limited production and service with the Red Army.
		The Red Army, with its purchase of the British Vickers Carden Loyd Tankette, Vickers E-Light and Cruiser Mk II Medium tanks, and the American Christie suspension, was clearly one of the leading exponents of this practice.
		During Operation Barbarossa, most of the T-35s lost by the 67th and 68th tank regiments were lost not to enemy action but through either mechanical failure or because they were abandonded and destroyed by their crews.

	World War III in the late 1940’s (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The fighting after July 1948 was bitter, bloody, and sometimes involved armor, especially in the hands of the western allies.
		While both the Soviets and the western allies designed innovative and effective tanks in 1947 and early 1948, the role of the tank changed with the advent of widespread battlefield use of atomic weapons, and the tanks of the atomic era deserve a separate treatment.
		The issue of whether Soviet germ warfare efforts gone awry or mutations stemming from US use of atomic weapons were primarily responsible for the epidemics is still so politically charged as to be impossible to resolve, though our knowledge of genetics should make the issue clear.

	Osprey - The Demodernization of the German Army in World War 2
		There were just three transport regiments, with 6,600 vehicles and a total capacity of 19,000 tons to ship supplies from the railheads to the front-line units: more than 150 divisions on a 1800 km front.
		Whereas the Allies involved civilians at the earliest stages of the war, the development of radar and signals intelligence being good examples of civilian contribution, in Germany the army was able to dictate to the factories.

	Seven Days Before -
		During the winter of 1940-1941 the Soviet senior officers held a series of conferences and decided that the coming war with Germany (hopefully in 1942 or 1943) would be a war of attrition.
		Armored vehicles aside, the situation with motor-transport was hardly less serious; tractors, trucks, and motorcycles were in grievously short supply.
		During the start of 1941, the Kremlin had received a number of intelligence reports from many sources that the Germans were preparing to attack.

	HyperWar: Opening Moves: Marines Gear Up For War
		During the next two years, however, the United States increasingly shifted from a stance of public neutrality to one of preparation for possible war and quite open support of the beleaguered nations allied against Germany.
		Helmets of World War II One of the most noticeable changes in the Marine Corps uniform at the outset of World War II was the transition from the M1917A1 helmet reminiscent of World War I to the familiar M1 helmet of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.
		At the outbreak of World War II, Marines were wearing a modernized version of the helmet first introduced to Marines serving in France during World War I. The American M1917 helmet was nearly identical to the British "Brodie Pattern" helmet.

		The T-28 was used during the Winter War against Finland and against the Japanese in 1939.
		During the initial stages of the Winter War with Finland, the tank was used in direct fire missions against Finnish pillboxes.

	The Ontos Anti-Tank Vehicle (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The idea for this vehicle was born in the aftermath of World War II when the U.S. Army perceived the need for a new reconnaissance vehicle.
		During World War II, the Army embraced the tank destroyer concept, which called for the placement of large-caliber anti-tank guns on lightly armored carriages.
		The essential role of tanks and M50s in the fighting is illustrated by the fact that Marines had to hold up their advance from time to time for lack of 90mm tank and 106mm Ontos ammunition.

	CHAPTER XII: Tanks
		During the war, equipment from Kharkov was evacuated and installed behind the Urals to form the Altai tractor plant, which opened in 1943.
		During the 1933 entente between France and the Soviet Union, the Renault Company delivered $11 million worth of "small fast tanks and artillery tractors" to the Soviet Union and supplied experts from the Schneider works and Panhard Levasseur, skilled in the armored-car and tank field.
		The Soviet T-34 and the modified T-34/85 were first introduced in World War II and used extensively against Americans in the Korean War.

	Chapter 19: Between World Wars
		Another basic factor that determined the character of the Army between world wars was the decision of the United States not to join the League of Nations and therefore to reject participation in an active and co-operative world security system to maintain peace.
		World War I experience both in Washington and in France had greatly strengthened the position and authority of the General Staff.
		Modern war is so complex and modern armies are so demanding in equipment that industrial mobilization for war must precede the large-scale employment of manpower by at least two years if a war is to be fought effectively.

		Vehicles produced by these two companies include the M1-series Abrams tank, the M2/3-series Bradley Fighting Vehicle, the M109-series self-propelled howitzer, the M88-series recovery vehicle, the M9 Armored Combat Earthmover, the M113 family of vehicles, the Multiple Launch Rocket System, and the Marine Corps Amphibious Assault Vehicle.
		Although the survivability requirements for tactical wheeled vehicles are less stringent than for armored vehicles, the requirement for off-road tactical mobility, reliability, and ease of maintenance remain fundamental in their design.
		During the period 1989 to 1995, the US armed forces were reduced by 250,000 active-duty military personnel and layoffs in defense industries over roughly the same period amounted to nearly 2 million.
