on some of the t34 i see this dark colored, triangular shaped things. i found a picture here. is the the thing that looks almost white on the side of the tank hull, below the handles on the side (under the 36 on the turret). it looks like it has a straight bar on each side of it.

Two Russian ladies sawing



I am a bit curious (or questioning) about the triangular shape, having that point at the middle of the blade doesn't make sense to me.

There is usually a protective cover for the teeth, made of two straight pieces. This could explain the triangular shape.

/ Robin

P.S. When I checked the photo in the link closer I noticed that the covers are in place so it is a
sligt curved saw with the teeth hidden in a cover made of two straight pieces which gresults in that triangular shape.
