On the Archer Transfers sheet for the T34/76 "turret markings #1" Does anyone know what the vehicle slogan that begins with a 3A means? Our school librarian is having me put together a display for the library and I would like to include what this slogan translates into English.

Thanks, Hellbent

Thanks! I know that certain groups raised money for tanks and then were able to paint their slogan for sponsorship of that vehicle. Would this slogan be similar? Did the people of Moldavia raise money to sponsor this vehicle or was it more like the crew would have been from that area?

Thanks for the quick reply! Hellbent

No I do not think so. Probably the crew was from there, or something similar.
The only group that raised the money and got the slogans, that I heard of, was the Orthodox Church. On those D-5T 85mm 1943 tanks.

There was lots of organizations and such, not including private people raising money for this. There was already good topic about it:

For Soviet Moldova? I wonder what my Moldovan friends would think about that if I put it on a T-34/76.

What do the other slogans mean?
