Historical Overview of the KV-1B

The KV-1B heavy tank was a development variant of the famous series of Soviet KV vehicles, produced in factories in the Urals, especially in Chelyabinsk, during the most difficult years of World War II. It was these “tanks from the Urals” that played a key role on the Eastern Front during World War II (1939–1945). The KV-1B version was distinguished by additional armor (so-called applique armor screens), which increased its resistance to German anti-tank weapons, especially in the years 1941–1943, in key battles such as the defense of Leningrad and the fighting at Stalingrad. It was used exclusively by the Soviet Union.
