diagram from a Wehrmacht training manual instructs crews on the distances at which the Tiger can destroy T-34 tanks

This diagram from a Wehrmacht training manual instructs crews on the distances at which the Tiger can destroy T-34 tanks, as opposed to the distances at which a Tiger would begin to feel threatened. It shows that in order for the Tiger to be knocked out by the 76 mm main gun of the T-34, the T-34 would have to be 500 meters or closer from the front, or 1500 meters from the sides or back. However, the Tiger had to be only 800 meters away from the front, and even as far away as 2000 meters from the sides and back, of the T-34 to destroy it.

The slogan slanting toward the lower left states, “I can shoot you, but you can’t shoot me!” The box on the bottom right proclaims, “The entrance to the cloverleaf for the T-34 is forbidden!”
