Historical Description

Pz.Kpfw. 753(r) is the German designation for captured Soviet KV-1 heavy tanks, which were seized during battles on the Eastern Front and modified by the Germans. In 1942, the 22nd Wehrmacht Tank Battalion adapted these machines for its own needs by installing the effective 75 mm KwK 40 gun and adding the distinctive German commander's cupola. The modernized tanks were used on the Eastern Front, providing fire support and supplementing losses of their own armored vehicles. Such vehicles were mainly in service during 1942–1943, during the most intense fighting on the Russian front.
