Can someone explain to me how the tank deal worked? I'm looking at the wikipedia article about her and I have no idea what this means:

After her husband was killed fighting in 1941, Oktyabrskaya sold her possessions to donate a tank for the war effort

did she give money to the government to pay for one tank on an assembly line somewhere?

IIRC it was largely symbolic because what she had didn't come close to paying for a T-34, but they were willing to let her sign up regardless.

Brief googling, she paid for more than a third of a T-34.
