The Soviets began building heavy tanks earlier than the Germans. But the first models proved far too heavy and immobile. Later, after the outbreak of war, the Russian heavy tank KW-1 and, in 1943, the JS-1 and 2, inspired by the German "Tiger" tank, surprised the world. In this volume, Alexander Lüdeke concentrates on the Soviet heavy tanks built from 1939 to 1945. He describes not only the main types T-35, T-100, the KW and JS series, but also numerous variants. In addition, he goes into the development and operational history of the types.
