Although slow, they were extremely heavily armoured. This volume examines the transition from multi-turreted tanks to heavy single-turret vehicles, consisting of the KV-1 and 2, and the increased favour given to the heavy single-turret after the Germans began to develop ammunition capable of penetrating even the thickest armour, whilst detailing the design, development and operational history of the Soviet Union's monstrous KV series of tanks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesign and Development · Inside the KV-1 · Operational History · Improvements in Armament · Variants · Tactical Problems","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51360216318295,"sku":"9781855324961","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781855324961.jpg?v=1754127008","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/kv-1-2-heavy-tanks-1939-45-9781855324961","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
