Description

This is a book or magazine about tanks/AFVs and/or military modeling.

This book is limited to only 999 copies! Until now, many Western sources have considered the WWII Soviet KV (short for Kliment "Klim" Voroshilov) heavy tanks to be heavy, slow and cumbersome vehicles that had only a limited impact on the 1941 German invasion of the Soviet Union known as Operation Barbarossa. However, new research shows that this view of them playing a supporting role to the T-34 tank is no longer valid.

Author Jochen Vollert provides an updated and unbiased assessment of the KV heavy tanks and their true role on the Eastern Front battlefield. His analysis reveals that the 1941 KV heavy tanks have been significantly underestimated, being considered comparable to the German Tiger tanks that had a major tactical and psychological impact on the Allied forces during the Normandy landings in 1944.

This book explains the legendary Soviet tank that completely surprised the enemy, delayed the German advance under the most unfavorable circumstances, and laid the foundation for the Soviet victory four years later.

This book incudes the KV tank series books that are already out of print, corrects errors in the previous publications, and updates them with new research results and many new facts. A wealth of photos and illustrations are used to explain many new facts, such as prototype vehicles, additional prototype vehicles in the early stages of production, differences between production series lots, and unreleased new tanks. In addition, a new chapter has been added with significant additions about the KV tank "KW Voltepanzer" that was captured and used by the German Army. Many other color illustrations, diagrams, and 1/35-scale drawings are included.

With the publication of this book, which is the first to comprehensively visualize the true nature of tanks that had long been hidden in the shadow of the T-34, the Klim Voroshilov tank family will finally gain a place in the history of world tanks and in the defense of the Soviet homeland in 1941. 

This book will be a must-have for researchers of Soviet Red Army tanks, as well as modelers who build KV tanks. Its 728 pages are packed with 45 color photos, 1,030 battlefield photos, and 204 black-and-white photos, as well as 345 detailed illustrations and 18 1/35-scale five-view drawings and 32 color illustrations.
