They Planned for a Short War — Soviet Industry Planned for Forever

When Hitler's panzers smashed into the Soviet Union in June 1941, German intelligence predicted victory in eight weeks. They were spectacularly wrong. The Soviets had lost 63% of their coal, 68% of their pig iron, and half their factories—yet they outproduced Nazi Germany by 56%. How? Whilst the Germans obsessed over building the "perfect" Tiger tank requiring 60,000 man-hours, the Soviets built T-34s in 1,800 hours. Rough, crude, brutal—but they rolled off the production line at 68 tanks per day. The Germans built masterpieces. The Soviets built enough tanks to bury them. This is the story of how ruthless pragmatism crushed engineering excellence, how "good enough to kill Germans" became the only specification that mattered, and why the nation that lost half its industry won the greatest industrial war in history. Quality versus quantity. Perfection versus pragmatism. In the end, the assembly line proved mightier than the drawing board. #WW2History #SovietIndustr#T34Tank #MilitaryHistory, #EasternFront, #IndustrialWarfare, #WorldWar2, #TankWarfare, #HistoryDocumentary
