At the beginning of the war with the Soviet Union, the Germans used the same tactics of lightning war on the Eastern Front as in Europe. In border battles, our tank divisions tried to stop German armored columns with counterattacks, but this led to a disaster. The Germans were better prepared, the Wehrmacht perfectly debugged the interaction between the branches of the troops. Gradually, from the tactics of counterattacks, Soviet tankers began to proceed to the very effective tactics of tank ambushes, and it was she who became a kind of "antidote" from the "blitzkrieg".
August 1941 became, truly, time of tank ambushes. It was in this month that Soviet tankers of the 1st Red Banner Panzer Division, on distant approaches to Leningrad, began to massively use this new tactics. The 4th German tank group suddenly came across a deeply echeloned tank ambushes, and this became a very unpleasant surprise for Panzervufff.
August 20, 1941, the crew of the heavy tank KV-1 Senior Lieutenant Zinoviy Kolobanov held one of the most productive tank battles in world history. On distant approaches to Leningrad, during the defense of the premise of the Red Guard fortified area, our tankers from an ambush destroyed 22 enemy tanks, and the total company Kolobanov, consisting of 5 KV tanks, destroyed 43 tanks that day. The tank pogrom, which was made by Panzerwaffe, the tankers Zinovia Kolobanov is the peak of the development of this tactics, a kind of perfectly conducted tank ambush.
For many years now, fierce disputes are not subside among historians.
Do German documents confirm the phenomenally high result of Soviet tankers? What German division technique destroyed by our warriors? How did Kolobanov’s fight against the situation under Leningrad as a whole?
In his book, the author submits to the reader’s court, detailed answers to these important questions
