      The electric starter is the primary method for cranking with the Bosch inertia starter as a auxiliary backup system.

      Tiger and Panthers were superior to Kv and T34 in a lot of ways. The fact they were more advanced and more complex to work on is looked on as a downfall. And the fact T34’s were simpler to fix. But the fact was numbers. Same with the Sherman’s in the western theatre. If the Germans could have matched numbers then it wouldn’t have even been close. Especially if Air power was equal also. Sheer logistics and numbers beat the Axis.

      He is my outer eyes and in case of a safety issue he can put his foot in my sight. So I know directly I have to stop immediately. I will not know, see and feel it, if I touch you on this narrow track. You can use an intercom but reception is not flawless because of the sound and the iron box concept.
