The tank Kliment Voroshilov (KV) is a Soviet rupture tank. It was an unpleasant surprise for the Wehrmacht during Operation Barbarossa: at the time it was almost invulnerable to all its weapons except the 88 mm Flak anti-aircraft gun and direct artillery fire.

The headquarters of Leningrad is the seat of the Russian metropolis now known as St. Petersburg by the Germans during World War II. The German operation was codenamed Operation Nordlicht. Despite colossal human losses (1,800,000 men, including more than a million civilians), the siege, lasting 872 days, which began on September 8, 1941 and ended on January 27, 1944, the city resisted until its disengagement in 1944, during the longest siege in modern history.

Signed documentation Wydawnictwo Militaria le livre «PzKpfw II – Wydawnictwo Militaria 161» .
The Panzerkampfwagen II ( PzKpfw II ) or Sd. Kfz. 121 was a German-made tank. Like the PzKpfw I, it was designed as a temporary model, waiting for tanks like the PzKpfw III or the PzKpfw IV. Both types of vehicles were intended to provide training gear for The Panzerwaffe crews to develop the tactics of the future Blitzkrieg. However, the delay in the production of real battle tanks forced the Germans to use them massively during the beginning of the Second World War, and it was not until 1941 that they were gradually removed from the front lines. Subsequently, however, the PzKpfw II remained for a long time an important vehicle in the Wehrmacht's arsenal, thanks to reconnaissance derivatives and as a chassis for self-propelled guns, such as the Marder II and the Wespe. It had one more crew member than the Panzer I, a radio operator, also responsible for reloading the 20 mm automatic gun.

The T-35 est un char de combat lourd soviétique. Ce monstre inspiré du Vickers Independant avec ses cinq tourelles, ses 50 t et ses 11 membres d’équipage mit quatre ans pour devenir opérationnel, après trois essais infructeux (T30, T35-1 et T35-2). Produit en petite quantité (environ 70 exemplaires), il posa continuellement des problèmes de mise au point de son moteur et de sa transmission, qui contraignirent à une modernisation en 1937 et à une standardisation de ses tourelles avec celles du Char T-28. Sa masse interdisait le renforcement de son blindage déjà trop faible lors de sa sortie et il se révéla impossible à commander du fait de la séparation de ses postes de combat.

Signed documentation Wydawnictwo Militaria the book "88mm - Flak 18/36/37 - Wydawnictwo Militaria 155" .
HistoryIn: The cannon of 88 mm désigne communément deux pièces d’artilleries allemande de la Seconde Guerre mondiale qui ont marqué les esprits, en particulier chez les tankistes[réf. nécessaire]. Elles équipèrent tous deux des blindés allemands dans la deuxième moitié de la guerre, dont le Tiger. La première, le Flak18 8,8cm et ses variantes, est une pièce à vocation antiaérienne d’une grande polyvalence, notamment l’utilisation antichar. Produite en grand nombre, c’est cette pièce qui sera à l’origine de la réputation du “88”. La seconde, le Pak43/1 8,8cm et ses variantes, apparaît en 1943 et est une pièce à vocation antichar, où elle est encore plus performante, mais n’est pas conçue pour tirer sur des avions. De fait moins polyvalente, et arrivée plus tard, elle fut bien moins produite que les pièces 8,8cm Flak. Ces deux pièces se sont fait remarquer par leur puissance de feu, leur cadence de tir élevée, leur grande capacité de pénétration, ces qualités étant soulignés par leur précision remarquable à l’époque. Elles sont si performantes dans leur utilisation terrestre qu’elles sont souvent confondues et nommées communément “88” par leurs adversaires, alors que les Allemands les appelaient plutôt “acht acht” (huit-huit).

Horses in The Second World War were auxiliary elements in the strategic and tactical evolution of the armed conflict. There were only a few nations at that time with mounted units. The experience of the First World War had served and the traditional functions of the cavalry had been replaced by mechanized armoured divisions. Similarly in terms of their use as logistical support, the evolution of the automobile and transport encouraged their disappearance within the army.

The Jagdpanzer IV, Sd. Kfz. 162, was a German tank destroyer based on the chassis of the Panzerkampfwagen IV which was built in three main versions during World War II. It was developed despite the opposition of Heinz Guderian, Inspector General of the Panzertruppen, to replace the StuG III. Guderian felt it unnecessary to distract from the resources of the Panzer IV production because, in his view, the StuG III and StuG IV were still fully playing their part.

Jagdtiger (“Hunting Tiger”) is the common name of a German turretless heavy tank destroyer of World War II. The official German designation was Panzerjäger Tiger Ausf. B as it was based on a lengthened Tiger II chassis. The ordnance inventory designation was Sd.Kfz. 186. The 71-tonne Jagdtiger was the heaviest armored fighting vehicle used operationally during World War II and is the heaviest armored vehicle of any type to achieve series production. The vehicle carried a 128 mm PaK 44 L/55 main gun, capable of out-ranging and defeating any Allied tank. It saw service in small numbers from late 1944 to the end of the war on both the Western and Eastern Front. Although 150 were ordered, only between 70 and 88 were produced. Due to an excessive weight, the Jagdtiger was continuously plagued with mechanical problems. Today, three Jagdtigers survive in museums.
