Anyone have a reasonable breakdown for the distribution of Sherman vs T34 at the opening of Bagration? |

OK this has my attention. Just read up on the battle. Do you mean how many Shermans the Soviets were using? |

Yeah. Just looking for a rough rule of thumb ratio of how many T34 per Sherman. |

Charles Sharpe has the ratio of medium lend lease tanks to Soviet medium tanks as 1:8. I'm not sure which units participated in Bagration: 5th Mechanized Corps is mostly Shermans with some Valentines, 3rd Guard Mechanized Corps is all Shermans, 35th Guard Tank Brigade is Shermans, 58th Guard Tank Brigade is Shermans, 63rd Tank Brigade is a mix of Shermans, Valentines and Stuarts plus many independent Tank Regiments used US or UK tanks. |
