 The T-34 first entered Finnish service in 1941, during the Continuation War against the Soviet Army following the invasion of the USSR by the Nazis. Following the Battle of Tuullos on 4 September 1941, the Finnish Heavy Tank Platoon received the first captured T-34 in Finnish use.
 By 1942, there were three captured T-34s in Finnish service, and by 1944 the Finns succeeded in buying and capturing many more T-34s, greatly boosting their armored capabilities.
 The Finns experimented with modifications to some of their early T-34s, including installing a 'pepper-pot' muzzle brake on the first tank, a modification not seen on any other T-34.

 When Finnish - Soviet Winter War started in November of 1939 Finnish Army did not have any medium or heavy tanks - only tanks in its disposal were already obsolete Renault FT-17 and recently acquired Vickers 6 ton tanks, which were in middle of being equipped with cannons. Finnish Army acquired its first heavier tanks by capturing two T-28 tanks during Winter War. When Finnish Army was mobilized for Continuation War in June of 1941, one of the units mobilized at that time was Tank Battalion (''Panssaripataljoona''). This "armoured fist of Finnish Army" was the unit to which the armoured vehicles acquired before Winter War and Soviet tanks captured during it had been concentrated. Among smallest units of this battalion was Heavy Tank Platoon (''Raskas Panssarijoukkue''), which was equipped with the earlier mentioned two captured T-28 tanks, which were the only medium or heavy tanks in Finnish use at that time. While being called platoon, early on this small tank unit consisted only one officer (Lieutenant Räsänen), four non-coms and 5 men - in other words just the tanks crews needed for the two tanks. While this detachment proved very short-lived due to a lot of other tanks getting destroyed or falling apart in less in two weeks, Heavy Tank Platoon soon received reinforcements in form of additional captured T-28 tanks and first captured T-34 tank taken to Finnish use. Year 1941 grand majority of Soviet tanks in Finnish - Soviet front was still older tanks with very few T-34 among them. Apparently troops of 2<sup>nd</sup> Army Corps were the first to fight to against T-34 tanks in Finnish front, they destroyed two T-34 tanks in August of 1941 in Carelian Isthmus. Just like the third T-34 captured in Carelian Isthmus these two tanks were damaged beyond repair. First T-34 tank that Finnish troops took to their own use was captured 2<sup>nd</sup> of October 1941 near Svir power plant, where at that day T-34 apparently made its first appearance in mass on the Finnish - Soviet front. Following unsuccessful attacks made by four T-34 tanks, the Soviets launched another attempt with no less than 18 T-34 tanks. Due to earlier attack Finnish troops were prepared and waiting, so this second attack turned into disaster for the Soviets with Finnish troops knocking out five of the attacking tanks with satchel charges and antitank-mines. This first captured T-34 had been abandoned by its Soviet crew after getting stuck on two tree stumps, from which Finnish soldiers got rid of with a saw and little bit of explosives. This tank that Finnish Army registered as R-105 was factory-new STZ-manufactured T-34 model 1941 which was completely intact with only four shells missing from ammunition racks. Also another T-34 had become stuck near the powerplant that day, but since it's crew refused to leave the tank or surrender, Finnish infantry finally destroyed the tank by simply blowing it up, in the process damaging the vehicle beyond repair.
-Finnish troops captured also second T-34 in autumn of 1941, but this tank registered as R-111, did not apparently enter into use of Tank Battalion until February or March of 1942. This T-34 model 1941 manufactured by KhPZ had still many features of T-34 model 1940, but had already been equipped with F-34 main gun. Third T-34 taken to Finnish use was T-34 model 1942 captured near Syväri / Svir power plant in spring of 1942. Finnish Army registered this Factory 183 build T-34 model 1942 as R-155. Forth T-34 medium tank taken to Finnish use was T-34 model 1941 captured near Lake Seesjärvi / Segozero in September of 1943 and was registered as Ps. 231-1.
