1) Tank (stylized as … Read Full Bio ↴There are mutliple artists with this name:
1) Tank (stylized as TANK) is the name of two British heavy metal bands, both of which stem from a band formed in 1980 by Algy Ward (ex-The Saints, ex-The Damned). The band's brand filthy metal was loved by both punk and metal fans. The original band is known as part of the new wave of British heavy metal movement. Tank was often compared to Motörhead as both bands were trios fronted by singing bassists, and played a loose, almost punk-styled metal music with often colourful lyrics. Lemmy, of Motörhead, helped them get their first record deal, and "Fast" Eddie Clarke was picked as producer for their debut album, "Filth Hounds of Hades". Heavily influenced by bands like Motörhead, they were a productive force of the NWOBHM movement, and are still making music in the 21st century. After legal and creative disputes, Algy Ward led one version of the group while guitarists Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans led the other (Tucker/Evans Tank).
2) Tank is the stage name of an American R&B singer, songwriter, musician, and producer, Durrell Babbs.
Tank was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on January 1, 1976 and he was raised in Clinton, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Tank took an instant interest in singing and playing the piano, partially due to his alliance to religion — his cousin directed the church choir and helped the aspiring vocalist foster his singing talent from an early age. His stage name comes from his chiseled physique. A multi-sport athlete in high school, he had the opportunity to play college football. However, Tank decided to focus on music, and his talent eventually led him to an opportunity to sing background vocals for Ginuwine during one of Ginuwine's tours. Next, he found himself singing with Aaliyah and then Blackground Records founder Barry Hankerson, and his son (and company president) Jomo Hankerson took notice, offering Tank the opportunity to become a solo artist. In 2001, Tank realized his ambitions, seeing his debut album, Force of Nature, released to a national audience. This LP rendered the Top 10 R&B ballad, "Maybe I Deserve".
The next year, Tank released his second album, One Man. The single of the same name had chart success as well. He also co-produced the smash hit single "One Minute Man" by Missy Elliott in 2002.
Tank has also made a name for himself as a producer and writer, working with artists such as Dave Hollister, Marques Houston, Omarion, Jamie Foxx, Donell Jones, Monica among others. Along with The Underdogs, he has worked with many different artists over the years and was also a contributor to the score of the film adaptation of the musical Dreamgirls, in which he also had a cameo.
Tank sold what was to be the lead single to his 3rd album, "I Luv Dem Girls", to Marques Houston who renamed it "Strip Club" (this song appears on Marques Houston's 3rd solo album "Veteran"). Tank has recently worked on Kelly Rowland's second album Ms. Kelly on the tracks "The Show" (a duet with Tank himself) and "Ghetto" featuring Snoop Dogg. "Ghetto" is also set to be the album's second single.
Tank released his 3rd solo album entitled "Sex, Love & Pain" on May 15, 2007. The first single of this album is "Please Don't Go". Tank has also formed a group with Ginuwine and Tyrese named TGT. Their first single will be a remix of "Please Don't Go", with an international tour entitled "The Shirts Off Tour" and search for a fourth member to follow.
Tank, along with Tyrese, are set to perform in West Oakland at the Paramount Theater on November 2, 2007.
3) Tank Taiwanese (呂建中), is a talented singer composer. TANK was said to be the next big thing after David Tao, Lee Hom and Jay Chou for his talent in composing songs, singing and dancing. Before releasing his debut album, TANK was already well known through his composed songs for S.H.E. Besides that, he was also known through his songs, 三國戀 (Romance in the 3 Kingdom) and 給我你的愛 (Give Me Your Love) which both are the ending themes for two famous Taiwan drama series. TANK also is the spokesperson for computer game, "激戰" (GuildWars) and composed a song for the game.
Since then, "TANK" had became one of the most popular keyword among new artists to be searched in search engines.
While TANK was choosing songs to be fitted to his debut album, he had uploaded several songs and had set a poll on wretch.cc to be listened by his friends and let them vote for songs to be fitted in his new album. To his surprise, thousands of fans came to his blog to listen to his songs.
TANK's debut album, Fighting 生存之道 (Fighting, The Law of Living) is a fusion of Hip Hop, RnB, Rock and traditional Chinese music. The album has been on the Taiwan album sales chart (G-music chart) number 1 spot for 3 weeks beating Tank's own idol, A Mei, Guang Liang and Rainie Yang. He is now still charting in G-music chart and his album has sold over 100,000 copies in Taiwan to date.

T-34
Tank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We shoot the last horse still standing,
We eat to stay alive, the officer commanding
Is nowhere to be seen,
Berlin is now demanding, where the fuck he's been.
Slim are the chances to survive this war,
All because T 34.
Those of us still fighting for Fatherland & Reich,
Slim are the chances to survive this war,
All because T 34.
If Zhukov don't get you, the Night Witches will.
The lyrics of Tank's song T-34 convey the struggles of soldiers in World War II, particularly during the Battle of Kursk. The song describes the desperation of soldiers waiting for supplies that never come, resorting to killing their last source of food, a horse. The officer commanding is absent, and his whereabouts are unknown as Berlin demands answers. The soldiers and their chances of survival seem slim, all because of the formidable Soviet T-34 tank.
Despite the odds against them, the soldiers fight on, driven by a sense of duty to their country and their leader. However, this sentiment becomes complicated as the soldiers receive orders to retreat from Kursk, a key battle that ultimately led to Germany's defeat. The lyrics suggest that survival is not guaranteed, as soldiers face not only the T-34 tank but also the "Night Witches," female Soviet bomber pilots who were notorious for their precision and deadly maneuvers.
Ultimately, the lyrics of T-34 express the brutal realities of war and the individual struggles of soldiers on both sides. The song highlights the determination and courage of soldiers who are willing to fight until the bitter end, even when the chances of victory seem slim.

The documents indicate significant losses of tanks and combat equipment for both the USSR and Germany during the years 1941-1945 in the Great Patriotic War.
At the beginning of the war, starting with Germany's invasion of the USSR in June 1941, the Soviet Union suffered heavy losses of its equipment, including tanks, artillery, and aircraft. In 1941, tank losses amounted to approximately 20,000 units.
However, thanks to mass production of tanks and their rapid restoration, the USSR was able to compensate for these losses. In 1942, Soviet losses were around 15,000 tanks, and in 1943, approximately 13,000 tanks.
In 1944, Soviet tank losses decreased to about 8,000 units, and in 1945, to around 3,000 tanks.
According to the documents, Germany also suffered significant losses in its combat equipment. At the beginning of the war, Germany had an advantage in tanks and other combat equipment, but as Soviet forces advanced, its losses increased.
In 1941, Germany lost approximately 6,000 tanks. In 1942, losses amounted to about 8,000 tanks, in 1943, approximately 10,000 tanks, in 1944, around 11,000 tanks, and in 1945, about 3,000 tanks.
Thus, both countries incurred a tremendous number of tank and combat equipment losses during the Great Patriotic War. However, due to a powerful industrial sector and resource mobilization, the USSR was able to compensate for its losses and gain an advantage over Germany by the end of the war.

Best "war tank" of ww2?
@braxxian
The relocation of virtually all of the Russian heavy industry, the dismantling and reconstruction of so many factories over 1000 km away is one of those logistical superhuman feats that gets scant attention in WW2 history. That’s a shame.
@fazole
I met a Czech man whose father worked in one of those open air factories under appalling conditions. Brutal cold. He was lucky enough to have a hat until one day he had to use a slit trench latrine and was hanging on to a something to avoid falling in. Since his hands were occupied, someone came up and just took his hat!
