Riding the T-34

The only working order T-34/85 tank in Australia is located at the Bandiana Army Museum, near the Australian rural center of Albury-Wodonga. This unique piece of war history is believed to have been present at the battle of Berlin. The tank is shown in working order, is taken out and driven around, and information on the many varied and interesting technical details of the tank are presented. A must for serious scale modelers and military history buffs, this film shows the T-34 tank, probably the finest piece of Soviet World War 2 equipment, "up close and personal". The Australian Army Museum at Bandiana is probably the most accessible and informal Army Museum in Australia, combining superb and unusual items of military history with friendly and dedicated staff. This museum is well worth visiting for both local and international tourists. We are indebted to the staff at the museum for allowing access to this footage. Many thanks to the Australian Army for maintaining a fine museum collection. This film is freely available in the public domain for anyone who wishes to link to it. Comments have been disabled as we noticed that many comments on military history videos deteriorate into pointless abuse. See also the new AustHeritage production "Capturing the 88 FLAK"
