You know that:

• the first pieces were included in the armament on December 19, 1939?
• in the hands of an experienced tanker, was the KV-1 an overwhelming weapon that controlled the battlefield?
• probably the most famous deployment of KV-1 tanks was the Battle of Raseiniai in present-day Lithuania in June 1941, when this lone Russian "monster" stopped the entire 6th German Division for almost two days (some sources state that it was a KV-2)?
• one single tank stuck in the mud and unable to move destroyed many German vehicles, several light tanks and cannons?
• the Germans tried to destroy the tank at night using explosives, which, however, did not cause any major damage to the KV-1?
• in the end, the crew was defeated by a German superiority after seven hits from an 88 mm anti-aircraft gun?
• if the Germans wanted to destroy the KV-1 tank with an available PaK 38 cannon, then they had to approach a suicide distance of 20 meters?
• the meeting with KV-1 was initially a big shock for the Germans and there are documented cases where the tank received 135 hits without breaking the armor?
• however, this machine also had several weaknesses, especially a faulty gearbox and chassis, which crushed the machine's high weight?
• in total, about 5,216 pieces were produced in various versions?
