All Guns Blazing

The following is another screen shot from director Sam Peckinpath's "Cross of Iron" (1977).  The image (click on for a larger image) is of a Yugoslav T-34-85 Model 1946 playing the part of an attacking Russian tank during now famous factory battle scene.  The "mushroom dome" cyclone air filters in the turret roof give this tank away as post-war manufactured vehicle.

Update: At this point without knowing the serial number I am not sure if it is possible to tell from the picture if this T-34-85 was built before or after 1945.
