They Left His "Crippled" Tank For Dead — Until He Wiped Out 22 German Panzers Alone

#kv1 #ww2 #easternfront #tankwarfare When the Red Army was retreating in panic near Leningrad, one Lieutenant ignored the order to run—and used a single "clunky" heavy tank to halt an entire German Panzer division. The Problem: The Kliment Voroshilov (KV-1) was a mechanical nightmare. It was slow, the transmission constantly failed, and crews often feared it was a 45-ton steel coffin that would break down before reaching the battlefield. Commanders saw it as a liability in a war of rapid movement, expecting the agile German Panzers to simply outmaneuver the sluggish "Russian Monster." The Risk: Facing a column of 43 German tanks, Zinoviy Kolobanov didn't try to maneuver. He turned his weakness into a trap. He buried his KV-1 hull-down in the marsh, turning it into an immovable steel bunker. He waited until the lead German tank was just 150 meters away, betting his life that his appliqué armor could withstand the return fire while his crew frantically reloaded the 76mm gun. ✅In this video, we uncover: -Why the "hull-down" marsh tactic made his tank virtually invisible until it was too late. -How the KV-1's massive weight allowed it to absorb 156 direct hits without buckling. -The physics of the 76.2mm shell that tore through the lighter Panzer III armor like paper.
