Next question then:
The T34 came as a huge shock to German forces when first encountered: How did one German Flak team armed with a 20cm Flak Gun force a t34 to surrender? they told them Schwarzpanzer was their new crew mate!!

I think that happened in Estonia ... it was a disabled T-34 blocking a main road ... the 20mm cannon was quietly moved to the rear and the T-34 was fired at. Not sure what happned next ... I read about it in one of my book.

Not sure what happned next ... I read about it in one of my book. Correct! They moved the 20mm Cannon to the rear of the T34 and began to fire like mad until the crew surrendered. Apparently being on the inside of a tank under such treatment was like chinese Bell torture.! Though I preferred the other answer! KiwiTT, welcome to the Forum, The next question is yours!

I think you'll find the M3 Lee/Grant had a 37mm and in development they added a 75mm as an after-thought upgrade.
Further clue on my tank ... it was built between 1941-1944 and nearly 300 tanks were built.
