• 1970 - Home made tank

  I will try to outline to you the enormous efforts of one man who did not accept the regime in what was then Czechoslovakia and in 1970 tried to cross the border in a relatively original way. The article is written in the way the machine was born, ie the idea and technical origin of the machine up to the final brief "deployment". I deliberately omit political and other similar considerations.

• Jan Bacik

  Bacik is trained as a machine gunner. He applies for a transfer to the bomber air force (as a machine gunner), but is not granted. Instead, he is transferred to the paratroopers and becomes a member of the Wolfram group, together with Reznicek, Běrský, Matula and Černota, commanded by Josef Otisk. (Černota came from Břeclav and when we were at your place for a killing party, we found his memorial plaque there.) The fate of the Wolfram group is sufficiently documented and there is no need for me to elaborate. Bačík remains in England and after his recovery is transferred to the tankers, where he eventually becomes an instructor.

• KV-1 "Relentless"

  I was inspired to write an article by a series of photographs in the publications below, an effort to find out if the color side view in Militaria is good (not !!) and, last but not least, one of the new 1:35 Trumpeter kits. I will try to briefly describe the history of the KV1 machine called "Relentless".

• T-34 "Tank of Heroes!"

  It's hard to write about a machine as good as a T-34. Although it is possible to find some details on the net, they did not satisfy me in many ways. It is very general or non-Czech. I will try to give it to you as I wrote it down in the text.

• T-70

  Despite its two-member crew and the associated overload of the tank commander by charging and operating weapons, the machine was characterized by low noise, dexterity, to its category strong armor and solid armament. T-70 tanks can be boldly ranked among the most successful designs among the WWII light tanks.
