TypHonorary title
ValbarhetMedborgare i Sovjetunionen
Prisad förheroic feats in service to the Soviet state and society
EtableradApril 16, 1934
Totalt utdelat12,775

The title Hero of the Soviet Union was the highest distinction in the Soviet Union, awarded personally or collectively for heroic feats in service to the Soviet state and society. The award was established on May 5, 1934, by the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union. The first recipients of the title originally received only the Order of Lenin, the highest Soviet award, along with certificate (грамота, gramota) describing the heroic deed from the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. Because the Order of Lenin could be awarded for deeds not qualifying for the title of hero, and to distinguish heroes from other Order of Lenin holders, the Gold Star medal was introduced on August 1, 1939. Earlier heroes were retroactively eligible for these items. The title was also given posthumously, though often without the actual Gold Star medal given. The title could be revoked only by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet.

Interior -Finely detailed engine accessory compartment, -Finely detailed cockpit Wings – Optional position flaps – Rubber tires. PE -Photo-etched parts to upgrade details

Den andra stora omarbetningen av Bf109 är F-serien. "Friedrich" fick en helt ny design av vingarna, kylsystemet och flygkroppens aerodynamik och drevs av 1 175 hk DB 601N (F-1, F-2) eller 1 350 hk DB 601E (F-3, F-4). F-serien, som av många anses vara höjdpunkten i utvecklingen av Bf 109, övergav vingkanonen och koncentrerade all beväpning till den främre flygkroppen: ett par kulsprutor ovanför och en enda 15 eller 20 mm kanon bakom motorn, den senare avfyrade mellan cylinderbankarna och genom propellernavet och spinnern. Denna konfiguration användes av alla efterföljande varianter. En handfull Bf 109F användes operativt sent i slaget om Storbritannien 1940, men blev allmänt utbredda i tjänst först under första halvan av 1941 och ersatte Bf109E.

ArménTyska Wehrmacht

Sturmgeschütz (or StuG) is an “assault gun” used by the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War. The vehicle was built on the chassis of the proven Panzer III. Initially intended as a mobile, armoured light gun for providing close fire support to infantry, panzer, and panzergrenadier units, the StuG was continually modified throughout its existence. It was often used as a mobile artillery platform to destroy bunkers, pillboxes and other entrenched positions. After the invasion of Soviet Russia in 1941, the StuG III was also converted to use as a tank destroyer because its main armament was the only weapon with sufficient power to take on the Soviet T-34 or KV-1 tanks. It would go on to become Nazi Germany’s most produced armoured fighting vehicle during World War II. The StuG was used primarily within the Sturmartillerie, a branch of the artillery in the Wehrmacht.
