When Private Elvira Ogarkova discovered her husband had been killed by invading Nazis, she marched right up to Joseph Stalin himself and demanded to drive her own T-34 to get her revenge. From the writer of ‘Commando Vs Zombies’ and ‘Union Jack Jackson’, ‘Tank Wife’ is inspired by the true story of a female tank driver in the Red Army during World War Two. Out for vengeance, there’s nothing stopping the wrath of this Soviet widow as she leads her T-34 into the heart of the battle!

The tank in "Tank Wife" purports to be a T 34 and the story is set in 1943. The tank is clearly a T 34/85 which only entered service in March 1944. This is a pretty egregious blunder. Not acceptable at all!
