Historical Description of the T-37:

The T-37 amphibious tank was the first mass-produced Soviet amphibious tank and one of the most interesting military vehicles of the 1930s. Its concept originated from the analysis of armed conflicts and tests of foreign equipment, especially the British Vickers amphibious tanks. The T-37A was produced between 1933 and 1936, and later modernized. It participated in large numbers during the Winter War of 1939/40 and in the early stages of World War II during the German invasion of the USSR in 1941. Its excellent swimming abilities allowed it to cross rivers and marshes, although its light armor and armament made it vulnerable when facing better equipped opponents.
