The KV-1E Model 1940 was a heavily armored version of the KV-1 with a 76.2 mm F-32
gun. To better protect the KV-1 bolted on armor was added. In July 1941 M1940 KV-1s
had appliquéd armor panels applied and were re-designated KV-1E Model 1940 [E
stands for "s Ekranami" – literally KV with screens also referred to as appliquéd armor].
The added armor worked but overall it was more of a hindrance than help. This
modification along with a few others brought the weight from 43 tonnes to 50 tonnes and
added so much weight that there were frequent drive train breakdowns. But most losses
came from Ju-87s, infantry with flamethrowers and anti tank guns like the Flak 36.
This particular tank has the patriotic slogan "Bey fashistkuyu gabinu!" - “Crush the
Fascist Vipers” painted on the turret and most likely was produced in Leningrad’s Kirov
Factory. There are no official records with the exact number of KV-1Es produced.
