Finnish captured T-34/85 and a T-34/76 Mod.1942 (background) being pressed into use, Karelia during summer of 1944.
Although Finnish troops were in retreat, they were able to capture nine T34/85 tanks. Most of them when the attack had ceased and lines in some form established. Finns pressed seven of them in service immediately. The remaining two were repaired and ready for action at the end of the war. All nine survived both the Continuation and Lapland Wars. The tank proved popular with it’s crews and remained in Finnish inventory until 1962.
