Although I believe he was actually trying to retool as fast as he could anyways, I agree, the Germans would've been stopped alot shorter.

I wonder, given what Guderian yelled at Hitler over his eye-witness of the T34 and KvI(or was it Model?)...if I recall correctly, the report of the T34/KvI alone was cause for some German generals to suggest to Hitler that the Germans be more cautious and maybe hold and consolidate and try to force Stalin to accept terms.

One of my favourite tanks.
Nice, round, smooth lines, low and sleek...hmmm, going to go kiss a woman now .
