Got it in a nutshell Kai !!!.
But IMO T 34 was not that significant, while not going so far in "T34 bashing" as some other people here, I believe the KVs had probably more impact than the T 34 in the critical first months.
I would add the racist policies agaist the local population instead, had the Germans set themseveves up as credible "liberators" in the Baltic states and Ukrainia ........
