Thank you, I have a diorama idea that involves A jagdpanther moving down a street, then there will be the Hungarian city house that has the open space and is two story which will have a knocked out T-34 there. I will use the battalion 500 fallschirmjager and the 3rd Waffen SS budapest figures. I was thinking of putting in the Italian city building which has the terroist where an MG could be place.

I'm not very knowledgable but it seems to me that lots of very old tanks/vehicles where still in use all the way thro' WW11. After all the Char B1 Bis was still in use in 1944...cheers....Kenny

I found this shot, which is supposedly Berlin in 1945. As you can all three appear to be T-34/76 types, with the farthest one appearing to be the 2-man 1942 turret

One of my T-34 has a photo of a line up of T-34s in Berlin after the fighting stopped. In the photo most of them are T-34/85s, but there is at least one early model "old soldier" (with the older single piece turret hatch) in the line up. Unfortuantely my scanner does not work so I can not scan and post the photo here...

Manstein's revenge

You could probably get away with 1943 T-34/76 models and onwards in Berlin....but I'd guess the '40 and '41 models would not have still been in front-line service...

Don't forget the SPG's base on the T-34: SU-85, SU-100, SU-122

A quick Google image search for "T-34/76 1945" pulls up several images of /76 models in action in 1945, so I'd say "any". A BT-7 would probably be rare, but T-34s, yes.

T-34 types at end of war

Towards the end of WWII did the soviets still use the T34/76? I want to make a diorama based on budapest and have a destroyed T34.  But would it only be a T34/85 or could it be just about any variant?
