Tactical issues

After T34 rushed out of the concentration camp/barracks, it was like walking in the courtyard, parking to pick up girls, plundering in the square, and refueling at the gas station. Why didn't a German soldier or a vehicle follow?

Even if the Germans don't understand why the T34 has shells, it doesn't have a machine gun egg. You can send a car to follow it, hit the track if you have the opportunity, and report your whereabouts at any time if you don't have a chance.

I don’t believe that there are officers who order soldiers to rush up to the tanks, or do they dare not listen? This is not on the battlefield, or in the German sphere of influence. The surroundings are all their own, hiding from tanks and guns.

Even if the Germans were dumbfounded at the time, would they be able to recover after half an hour? Then send a convoy to conduct a large-scale search. According to the T34's top speed of 75 kilometers per hour (this is the road speed, not the obstacle crossing speed), how far can it travel in half an hour?

If there is a car stuck to the T34, it shouldn’t be too difficult to deploy gun positions in advance to intercept it, right?

One possibility is that the German anti-tank weapons were not deployed (or equipped) together with the tank units, which resulted in no suitable anti-tank weapons even though there were tank units on the scene.

but

Later, I saw a gun (I don't recognize the model) mounted on the highway to intercept the T34, and forced the T34 off the highway to go uphill. It must not be a firecracker or a gunfire that can force the T34 off the highway.

So it's not the lack of weapons, but the command.

Also, I haven't been on the battlefield, but I also know that tanks are afraid of fire (the soldiers at the time of World War II should know this better?), shouldn't it be difficult to keep up with setting fire? Even if you can’t put it on fire, you can destroy the sight and sight device and turn it into a blind person, right? Even if it does nothing, armed soldiers follow it, can it cheer on it?

Okay, a movie~
