The book "Война и Отечество" (War and Fatherland) is a collection of scientific articles that focuses on the development of military equipment and weapons during the Great Patriotic War. The book is divided into two parts: the first part covers the period from 1941 to 1945, while the second part covers the period from 1945 to 1956. Each part includes several chapters, each of which explores a specific aspect of military technology and its evolution during the war. The book begins with an introduction that sets the stage for the rest of the text. It explains how the Second World War was a turning point in the history of military technology, as it marked the transition from traditional weapons to modern technologies such as tanks, aircraft, and missiles. The authors argue that this shift in technology had a profound impact on the outcome of the war and ultimately led to the Allied victory. They also highlight the importance of understanding the process of technological evolution in order to appreciate the significance of these developments. The first chapter delves into the history of tank development during the war, discussing the early models and their limitations. The authors explain how tanks evolved over time, becoming more advanced and effective, and how they were used in various battles throughout the war.
