In 1938, the T-34 was still a glimmer in its designer's eye, although, in fairness, it was an American named Christie who made it possible. When, we, in hindsight, know how tanks would evolve in the following 7 years, that article looks beyond quaint.

In 1938, the analysis was accurate. Even in 1939, the French tanks were superior to the German tanks.

However, the German army had a much better idea on how to use tanks than anyone else, and far superior designers.

Yes, in 1938, the French and Germans clearly had better tanks than the Americans. Even the Czech machines were better.

My grandfather was at Fort Knox (I think it might have still been Camp Knox at the time) when they were doing the testing of the Christie tank in the 1930’s. He took some pictures of the tank during some of the tests, but I don’t know where they are currently located.
