Nice! I don't know where they are, but that's a SU-76 in the foreground, a KV1 behind it, and I reckon the muzzle break to the left belongs to a IS-2. The SU-76 was commonly called the Suka ('bitch').
Actually, I know where now - I googled the SU-76 and found a different angle picture of that same exact one. That feels like cheating, though, so I won't say where.
The foreground is the SU-76 at Bovington. The background is the KV-1B. The SU-76 was called the "Bitch" or "Little Bitch" or sometimes the "bared assed Ferdinand" which I don't actually believe because soldiers are simple and that's a long ass name.
nickname was probably something russian fatalistic like.... tin coffin for comrades... or more propagandish... Nhazee destruction workers peoples artillery tracked tractor...

ReplyDeleteActually, maybe the muzzle break belongs to a Panther...
DeleteI agree with the Dux.
DeleteI agree with both of them!
DeleteSu-76 in the foreground.
ReplyDeleteKV-1 in the background.
No idea where, or the nickname.
The KV-1 is one of my favorite tanks, no matter how poorly it did when I ran the Soviets in Steel Panthers. ;)
All of this makes me feel bad that I didn't own a camera that time I went to the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland, USA.
