The Soviet Tank that Paved the Road to Victory Prototypes - Pre-Series - KV-1 - KV-2 and the German KW I/KW II Beutepanzer Captured Tanks This book presents the author's completely revised and fresh view of a legendary Soviet tank design that caught its enemies by surprise, significantly slowing the German advance under extremely adverse conditions, and laying the groundwork for the Soviet victory four years later. The author even argues that the KV's impact on the Eastern Front in 1941 was, in many ways, tactically and emotionally similar to the effect the German Tiger tank had on the Western Allies in Normandy in 1944.
