Pz. Kpfw. KV-1b 756(r) - the Soviet/ German heavy tank

KV - 1 - USSR WWII heavy tank. Constructed in 1939 at the Designers' Office of the Leningrad “Kirov” Factory. It is also produced at the Chelyabinsk tractor factory. The KV was the only tank of the USSR, which was ahead of the German machines in its characteristics from the beginning of the war. KV-1 passed combat tests during the Winter War with the Finns and after this war it was directed to serial production. It is equipped with a 76 mm cannon, another version was equipped with a 152 mm howitzer, which changed the entire turret of the tank and it was called KV - 2 in the series. KV - 1 weighed 45 tons, its armor was impenetrable to all artillery, mounted on tanks at the time, and it itself had built-in powerful weapon. It had good speed and passing characteristics, but was difficult to control, the engine often stalled. On June 22 1941, when Germany attacked the USSR, the latter had 639 KV - 1 tanks, but did not have time to deliver sufficient ammunition and fuel reserves to the frontline areas. Therefore, in the first weeks of the war, many of these tanks were abandoned and taken over by the Germans, who used them for their own purposes, designating them as Pz. Kpfw. KV-1 756(r).
