Soviet KV-2
Crew, men 6
Armament 1 x 152 mm M-10 model 1938/1940 howitzer,
3 x 7,62 mm DT machine gun
Total number produced about 334

I made a mistake and called it a KV-1 first.

There is an interesting (and true!) story where a single KV2 held up an entire German army.

Do you know how big a German army was?

The 6th Army at Stalingrad was +>500,000 men. For sure local attacks were held up but not any army.

yeah.. with it's ammoload and loading times, you would be overrun quickly in lone KV.

Soviet Heavy Tanks...

A lone KV-2 held off repeated attacks by the 6th Panzer Div. Near the Rasyeinyia crosroads in Lithuania. Aparentaly the tank was in a prime spot to interdice the crosroads.
