Vehicle History

The KV-1 tank, designated as Pz.Kpfw KV-1 756(r) by the Germans, was one of the symbols of Soviet armored power during World War II. It was introduced into service in the early 1940s and, thanks to its formidable armor and armament, proved very difficult for German forces to defeat. The Wehrmacht, having captured large numbers of KV-1s on the northern front, decided to incorporate them into its own units – these models were used, among others, during the Battle of Stalingrad and the Eastern campaign. The captured examples typically featured German markings and sometimes modified equipment.
