With “For Stalin” inscribed on the high profile turret this KV-2 like all others stood out and became an easy target. Despite the increased weight the same hull and chassis as the KV-1 were used. Before the use of Flak 18s and 36s there are records showing a KV-2 withstood over forty hits and none penetrated the armor. Size and lack of re-supply were the main downfalls of this giant.
