Even when the front line was moved far to the east, the T-35s of 34th
Tank Division were still one of the greatest tourist attractions in
the Lvov area. Posing in the main turret of a command T-35 from the
earliest series produced in the 1934-1935 period is only one of dozens
of tourists. Of special interest is the exhaust system, seen uncovered
just behind the driver's compartment. It is different from the one
used in the vehicles of the later series.
Note also the minimized markings based on those of the pre-war era,
which are visible on the side of the turret between the machine gun
mantle! and the first pole on the radio aerial. There are two other
known T-35s that carried the same markings, and the T-35 that was
tested at Kummersdorf also had these markings
