German vs Soviet Tank Gun Concepts

The Panzer IV 75mm (short) and the T-34s 76mm were quite different in 1941, yet was the general concept so much different? How did the guns develop over the course of the war? Also what were the benefits of the 75L24 gun? In this video with Dr. Jens Wehner, we talk about how the Germans and Soviet approached their tank guns. For this we look at some objects from Military History Museum of the Bundeswehr in Dresden permanent exhibition. Additionally, we have some footage from the Panzermuseum Munster.

Dan

this is a tough concept as the development during 1939-1943 overwhelms the 'design' cycle of a normal military object

Volker Hartmann

Didn't you make a video on the two different guns that the Shermans had, where you worked out that the 75 mm was usually preferred over the 76 mm (which had a better armor penetration capability) by the crews, because they mostly fought infantery and the former had better HE-values. Or did chieftain make that video? I had to think about that video in any case...
