Hello, dear readers! Another year of running this blog went by. And what a year it was. I finally got past the medium of text, appearing in not one, but two podcasts by Military History Visualized: one on kill claims back in May, and one more recently on Soviet impressions on the Pz.Kpfw.I tank. In case you missed them the first time around, I'm embedding the videos under the break.
Twitter has taken off pretty well. I'm well over the 1000 follower milestone, sitting at 1322 at the time of writing. The main blog is also doing well, right up against 4 million total views. Seems that my audience demographics have stabilized: USA at a distant first, followed by the UK, Germany, Russia, Canada, Poland, France, Finland, Australia, and Spain.
A little bit extra news for everyone who clicked the "read more" link: I'm writing a book! The working title is "Designing the T-34", but it's almost certainly going to change. As you may have guessed, I'm planning to cover the creation of the T-34, starting from lessons learned during the Spanish Civil War and ending with production and distribution of the tanks in the months before the start of the Great Patriotic War. The book will be published in the UK by Morton's, but I'm sure it will be available worldwide through standard channels. It should be out by the end of the year, so be on the lookout for more announcements.
And now, those videos I promised you:
