On the Cover: Returning from the War
Read the article by Andrey Aksenov about the Soviet
light tank BT-5, discovered some time ago by the spe-
cialists of the Baltic Marine Society, and its recovery
from the bottom of the Neva River.
Nevsky Pyatachok
After reading the material about the BT-5 recovery the
question may arise: “How did it get there in the first
place?” Another article by Andrey Aksenov takes a look
into history of “Nevsky Pyatachok” (Neva Patch).
Belgian Armored Forces. 1914-1945
Belgians were among the pioneers of using armor in
combat. Tomasz Basarabowicz takes a look into the ear-
ly history of the Belgian Armored Forces, the vehicles
they used and their tactics.
Design and Layout of the T-34 Tanks
Part two of the article by Aleksey Makarov and Igor
Zheltov, research fellows of the T-34 History Museum
near Moscow. Read about the layout and features of the
tank produced by the Plant 183 in June 1942.
Book Reviews
Reviews of a couple of books that may be of some inter-
est to our readers. One of them is the recently published
“M1 Abrams Tank: Rare Photographs from Wartime Ar-
chives “ by Michael Green.

Chieftain Main Battle Tank
The final part of the three-part article by Robert Griffin.
Learn the story of the legendary British Main Battle Tank
Chieftain; its development and active service from pro-
totype to Mk.11 version.
Sturmpanzer Bär
The impractical in real life “paper monsters” shock us by
what they could do. Ross DuVall, a mechanical designer by
trade, takes a closer look at one of them while recreating
it in 1/35 scale. Written with help by Jacques Duquette.
