History of the Pz.Kpfw. 753(r) tank

The Pz.Kpfw. 753(r) was the German designation for captured Soviet KV-1 heavy tanks, which appeared on the Eastern front during World War II. After capturing large quantities of equipment during intense fighting with the Red Army, the Germans recognized the combat potential of these vehicles and put them into service under their own designation (r — "russisch"). In most cases, they were used in their original configuration, although some units received minor modifications, such as the addition of German commander's cupolas. Carefully repainted and marked with crosses, they became a valuable component of Wehrmacht equipment, mainly between 1941-1944, especially on the Eastern Front.
