T-34/85’s of the Red Army’s 2nd Far Eastern Front during the Battle of Manchuria. The Soviets brought 1.5 million men, 27,000 guns, 5,500 tanks and sp guns along with over 3,000 aircraft against a Japanese force less than half that size. The Japanese defeat was swift and total. The Red Army crushed the Japanese Army occupying Manchuria, Inner Mongolia and Northern Korea in just 11 days from August 9-20, 1945.
