The T-64 was conceived in Kharkov as the next-generation main battle tank by Alexander A. Morozov, the designer of the T-54. A revolutionary feature of the T-64 is the incorporation of an automatic loader for its 125-mm gun,allowing a crewmember’s position to be omitted, and helping to keep the size and weight of the tank down,and the T-64B of 1976 would be able to fire a guided antitank missile through its gun barrel. The T-64 would be used only by the Soviet Army and never exported, unlike the T-54/55. It was superior to these tanks in most qualitative terms, until the introduction of the T-72B model in 1985. The tank equipped elite and regular formations in Eastern Europe and elsewhere, the T-64A model being first deployed with East Germany’s Group of Soviet Forces in Germany (GSFG) in 1976, and some time later in Hungary’s Southern Group of Forces (SFG). By 1981 the improved T-64B began to be deployed in East Germany and later in Hungary.

Signed documentation Wydawnictwo Militaria le livre «Barbarossa 1941 vol3 – Wydawnictwo Militaria 323» .

L'opération Barbarossa Unternehmen Barbarossa, named after Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, is the code name for the Third Reich's invasion of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) during World War II. Launched on 22 June 1941, a year to the day after the signing of the armistice between France and the Third Reich, it opened the Eastern Front which became the main theatre of operations of the land war in Europe (from 1941 to 1945, 80% of the losses of the Wehrmacht were suffered on the Russian front1) and the crucial factor in the success or defeat of the Third Nazi Reich. This front will be the scene of the greatest and bloodiest ground battles of the Second World War. This invasion also marked a turning point in the war, until then still quite localized and European. It will soon set the whole world ablaze.
