They Mocked This "Steel Box" — Until One Tank Stopped an Entire Division.

June 1941. Near the town of Raseiniai, a single machine emerged from the dust that changed the German understanding of warfare forever. It was a terrifying, box-like structure of dark steel that the Germans called the "Russischer Gigant" — the Russian Giant. In this episode of WW2 Steel Anatomy, we explore the legendary and flawed masterpiece of Soviet engineering: The KV-2. For 48 hours, a single KV-2 tank defied every weapon in the German arsenal, stopping the 6th Panzer Division in its tracks. How did one machine survive hits from 37mm "door-knockers" and even 50mm anti-tank guns? We deep dive into the "Steel Anatomy" of this 52-ton behemoth, analyzing: The devastating 152mm M-10 Howitzer that could obliterate any Panzer with a single shot. The 75mm vertical armor plates that turned German shells into harmless sparks. The mechanical nightmares: Why this "Iron Fortress" was its own worst enemy. What happens when raw power meets a lack of mobility? This is the story of the iron box that proved "impossible" was just a word.
