Schwere sowjetische Panzer 1930-1945

The Soviets started building heavy tanks earlier than the Germans. But the first models proved to be much too heavy and immobile. Later, after the outbreak of war, the Russian heavy tank KV-1 and in 1943 the German Tiger tank-inspired JS-1 and 2 surprised the world. In this volume, Alexander Lüdeke concentrates on the Soviet heavy tanks that were built between 1939 and 1945. He not only describes the main types T-35, T-100, the KW and JS series, but numerous variants. In addition, he goes into the development and operational history of the types.
