This page tells a story of a two tank designs which saw use with Finnish Army

during World War 2, but played only quite a small role in Finnish military
history. Soviet KV-1 tanks did not play any significant in Finnish mainly due to
their small number (two) and being captured so late, that the only battles in
which took part were in summer of 1944 and even then the previously
mentioned problems limited their use. German Panzerkampfwagen IVJ
(PzKwfw IVJ / PzKw IVJ) tanks were notably more numerous in Finnish use, but
arrived so late in the war, that basically they didnt see any real combat use.
For those unfamiliar with how Finnish Tank forces were organized it might be
worth noting that for duration of Winter War (November 1939 - March 1940)
and early Continuation War (June 1941 - September 1944) the sole Finnish
tank unit of any real size was Tank Battalion (Panssaripataljoona). All medium
and heavy tanks had been concentrated to Heavy Tank Platoon (Raskas
Panssarijoukkue) of this battalion and once the number of these tanks
increased the platoon was expanded becoming a company, which was aptly
named as Heavy Tank Company (Raskas Panssarikomppania). This company
was also the unit to that first received the two captured KV-1 tanks, but with
more captured tanks becoming available the organization was to change
soon. March of 1942 as part of creating Armor Division (Panssaridivisioona)
Tank Battalion was expanded becoming Tank Brigade (Panssariprikaati), which
now was to contain two tank battalions. As part of the process for creating
Tank Brigade, the existing Heavy Tank Company was disbanded with its
vehicles and crews divided in between the two tank battalions (each
containing three tank companies). Both KV-1 heavy tanks and four T-28
medium tanks went to 6th Tank Company (part of 2nd Tank Battalion). By the
time KV-1 tanks arrived Finnish offensive of year 1941 had already ended and
the Finnish - Soviet front had stagnated into trench warfare. Hence only time
that the two KV-1 tanks actually saw combat with Finnish crews was after the
Soviets launched their offensive in June of 1941.

July of 1944 Armor Division was in reserve and its equipment getting
reorganized and re-equipped - T-26, T-28 and BT-42 were all declared obsolete
and remaining useful tanks (basically KV-1, T-34/76 and T-34/85) transferred
to 1st Battalion. This was because 2nd Battalion, which had been withdrawn
and sent to town of Lappeenranta, was about to be re-equipped with German
PzKw IVJ tanks. At that time the plan was to equip also two of the three tank
companies of 1st Tank Battalion and its battalion HQ with PzKw IVJ tanks.
Totally completion this plan would have required getting delivery of 70 PzKw
IVJ, from which 40 tanks were going to 2nd Tank Battalion, but this was never
to happen. Due to Finnish - Soviet armistice in September of 1944 Germany
stopped deliveries of weapons to Finland after arrival of only 15 of the 40
PzKw IVJ tanks, which the Germans had already agreed to deliver.
Both battalions of Tanks Brigade took part to Finnish - German Lapland War
(September 1944 - April 1945), but neither KV-1 or PzKw IVJ saw real combat
use in this war. With its massive swamps and forests combined with very
limited road network thoroughly demolished and mined by the retreating
Germans, using of tanks proved more than difficult. So most Finnish tank units
didn't see combat in that war.

production numbers for KV-1 models 1940, 1941 and 1942. The total
production for all these versions was about 2,900 tanks.
Finnish use: Two captured KV-1 tanks were taken to Finnish use - KV-1B (KV-1E
model 1940) and KV-1A (KV-1 model 1942). Both of them were introduced to
Finnish use in year 1942. They remained in combat use until end of World War
2.
Around year 1937 Soviet leadership decided to launch development work for
new heavy tank intended to be used as a breakthrough tank. Their existing T-
35 multi-turret heavy tanks had proved unsatisfactory mainly due to poor
mobility. Also experiences that the Soviets had gathered from Spanish Civil
War (1936 1939) proved them that there was an obvious need for more
heavily armored heavy tank.
Hence they found need to develop a new heavy tank with heavier armor
protection that made it less vulnerable to antitank-gun and field artillery fire.
The specifications for the new tank were still made for multi-turret tank. The
resulting development work produced three heavy tank prototypes, SMK, T-
100 and KV, which had been named after Soviet Commissar of Defense
(Minister of Defense) Klimenti Voroshilov, who at that time was Stalin's
favorite. From these three prototypes SMK and T-100 each had to two turrets
while KV had single turret and due to this was notably lighter than its two
competitors. The Soviets tested these three prototype designs in autumn of
1939 with KV prototype proving to be the most successful. Due to this
December of 1939 KV heavy tank was officially approved as weaponry of
Soviet Red Army. Just days before this the Soviets also field-tested all three
prototype designs, two KV-1 among them. Summa at Mannerheim-line
become the place the place where they were tested in 17th of December
1939, this first brush that Finnish Army got with KV tanks was no to be the
last.
As noted KV-1 tank had been designed to be basically immune to 37-mm
antitank-guns and field artillery. Due to its heavy weight it had very wide (70-
cm) tracks, which Finnish Army found quite resilient against antitank-mines
M/36 and M/39 used at that time due to their explosive charge proving too
weak against it. The solutions for this were stacking up several mines or
adding additional explosive charges under the antitank-mines. Later factory-
made additional explosive charges were introduced for this purpose. Once KV-
1 had been demobilised with antitank-mines, it was vulnerable and could be
blown up with large satchel charge or demolition charge. Needless to say,
tanks blown up in this way suffered too much damage to be repaired, which
may partially explain why so few of the Soviet KV-1 tanks faced by Finnish
Army in 1941 ended up to Finnish tank inventory.
This tank one of the first Soviet tank designs to be equipped with diesel
engine. The engine design increased survivability of the tank, since diesel in
case of fuel tank getting hit, diesel was notably less flammable than gasoline
used in earlier Soviet tanks. Liquid-cooled 12-cylinder (V12) 600-hp V-2K
diesel engine used in it was variant of V-2 diesel engine, which proved highly
successful and became de facto the standard engine for Soviet medium and
heavy armor manufactured during World War 2. The tank had torsion bar
suspension, which apparently proved rather successful. Originally KV-1 had
been intended to be armed with 76-mm F-32 tank gun, but since it didn't
come available in time, early production was equipped with L-11 tank guns.
Later production KV-1 variants were equipped with F-34 or ZiS-5 tank guns.
KV-2 was equipped with 152-mm howitzer and KV-85 with 85-mm tank gun. In
addition to 76-mm main gun KV-1 tank typically had three DT-machineguns -
coaxial machinegun next to main gun, rear turret machinegun and front hull
machinegun.
KV heavy tank was designed and built in Kirov Works in Leningrad, during the
war the factory was partially evacuated to Chelyabinsk, but apparently only
the part of factory that manufactured this tank remained in Leningrad. When
Germany invaded Soviet Union in June of 1941 Soviet Red Army had 508 KV
tanks, which proved quite a nasty shock for the Germans, since these tanks
were practically immune to German tank guns and antitank-guns existing at
that time. While KV-1 and KV-2 did play important part in delaying German
advance in some well publicized battles in 1941, technical issues combined
with poor training, poor availability of spare parts and problems with fuel
supply apparently caused large number to fall into German hands during first
months of the war.

As the war went on also Soviet Red Army started to notice that in many ways
T-34 was more practical tank than slow and heavy KV-1. September 1942
General (later: Marshal) Mikhail Katukov (commander of 1st Guard Tank Army
of Red Army at that time) complained to Stalin about poor mobility and heavy
weight of KV tanks and noted that even with all these issues it equipped with
just the same gun as much more practical and mobile T-34. First try for trying
to solve the problem was attempt of trying to improve mobility of KV-1 by
reducing its weight by decreasing thickness of armor. This modernization was
planned by design team lead by N.F. Shashmurin resulted into development of
KV-1S, which was introduced in production in autumn of 1942. Due to its
thinner armor KV-1S weight only 42.5 tons and was able to reach maximum
road speed of 42 km/h. Other notable improvements included adding
commanders cupola on top of turret and improved transmission and cooling
systems which made the tank mechanics-wise more reliable. The last
production version of KV tanks proved to a stop-gap version KV-85, which had
a new 85-mm D-5T and was manufactured in small numbers starting autumn
of 1943. Only about 130 KV-85 were manufactured before new IS heavy tanks
replaced it in production. Also flame tank version of KV-1 version did exist, this
tank was referred as KV-8.
When Finnish - Soviet Continuation War begun in June of 1941, Finnish Army
faced KV-tanks the second time. While the Germans had found that 88-mm
anti-aircraft guns and 105-mm field guns to be only artillery weapons in their
inventory to be effective against these tanks, the Finns had neither and
therefore needed to rely in more improvised means. Still, Finnish troops
succeeded destroying several KV-1 tanks during first months of the war -
almost all of them with satchel charges or antitank-mines. Luckily for the
Finns, year 1941 KV-1 was still quite rare in Finnish front, so shortage of
effective long range antitank-weapons did not lead to disaster. One KV-1 was
also knocked out by incredibly lucky shot with 45-mm antitank-gun in
Valkeasaari and only KV-2 known to have operated in Finnish front in 1941
was completely destroyed when blown up in Alakurtti with demolition charge
after first being demobilized by antitank-mines. Period photos suggest that
year 1941 the Soviets operated small number of KV-1, mostly KV-1E model
1940, both in Carelian Isthmus and areas north of Lake Ladoga. With the
Soviet retreat in 1941, grand majority of these knocked out tanks ended up to
hands of advancing Finnish troops.

From these captured KV-1 tanks only two were repaired and taken to Finnish
use. The first of these was KV-1E model 1940 captured in Solomanni /
Solomennoye Peninsula (nowadays part of city of Petrozavodsk) by 2nd
Battalion of Infantry Regiment 8. While the Soviets had retreated from this
area already in autumn of 1941, sources suggest that the Finns did not
evacuate the particular tank to Armor Centre Repair to be repaired until spring
of 1942. As with many Soviet armor vehicles of that time, Finnish Army came
with its system for naming versions of captured armored vehicles. Finnish
named KV-1E model 1940 tank model as KV-1B and gave the individual tank
armor R-number R-170 and later registry number Ps. 272-1. Another KV-1
taken to Finnish use was KV-1 model 1942, which was captured in bridgehead
south of River Syvri /Svir near the powerplant in spring of 1942. Lauri Heino
(later: Knight of Mannerheim Cross), who had already earlier evacuated the
first Finnish issued T-34 tank R-105 lead also the recovery-team which
evacuated the KV-1 model 1942. Apparently from that tank the Finns also
found complete Soviet manual for KV-tanks, with must have proved useful to
its new owners. Finnish Army named KV-1 model 1942 as KV-1A and gave the
individual tank first R-number R-100 and later armored vehicle registry
number Ps. 271-1. Most commonly used Finnish nickname for KV-series tanks
was "Klimi", which was a simple variation of their original name.

Notice: During World War 2 Finnish Army had two armor registry number
systems for identifying individual armored vehicles, which were in its
inventory. Basically the idea for these numbers was quite similar to license
plates, but painted directly on armored vehicles. The earlier of these two
systems was R-number system, which in summer of 1943 was officially
replaced with Ps. number system.
Both of these captured KV-1 tanks started their career in Finnish use in spring
of 1942. While they at belonged among the few modern tanks in Finnish
inventory during that time, they were far from perfect. Tank crews had only
poor visibility outside and numerous technical problems plaguing the design
made them unreliable, which combined with Finnish shortage of spare-parts
resulted them spending long stretches of time under repair. Clutch-brake
steering system used in KV-tanks was a poor choice for tanks this heavy,
made steering of the tank difficult and proved to be one source for the
constant technical problems. Another weak point was gearbox, which had five
forward gears and reverse, but also some mechanical weaknesses, which the
Soviets apparently succeeded reducing in later versions. KV-1 had five-man
crew, from which driver and hull machinegunner sit inside front hull of the
vehicle, with three other crewmembers located inside turret ring. It had no
real turret basket, but the seats of crewmembers inside the turret seem to
have been attached to turret and rotated with it. Both driver and tank
commander had poor visibility to events outside the tank, although this may
have actually been made worse by Finnish crew arrangement. Typically KV-1
turret had two rotating periscopes going through front part of top turret, in
Soviet crew arrangement gunner and tank commander/loader were using
these, while machinegunner responsible using the turret rear machinegun was
in rear turret. Finnish documents suggest that Finnish crew arrangement
inside turret seated gunner and loader to front turret, while tank commander
was sitting in rear turret and had no periscope to see outside without pushing
his head outside turret hatch. Needless to mention these two tanks lacked
tank commanders cupola.

Basically the only areas in which KV-1 excelled when introduced were armor
protection and main gun - which had been excellent by year 1941 standards.
But by year 1944 they has lost much of their best edge - while their 76-mm
tank guns were still useful even at that time, they were no longer terribly
effective against T-34/85, not to mention IS-2 heavy tank. Early KV-tanks had
welded turrets, but starting KV-1 model 1941 this was replaced by cast turret
designs. KV-1 was also demanding maintenance and fuel expenditure wise.
Finnish experience was that KV-1 required extensive overhaul after every 200
hours of use, which was notably less than its obvious main competitor to T-34,
for which overhaul for every 300 hours of use was enough. Diesel
consumption of KV-1 was also remarkably high - 70 liters per hour compared
to only 30 liters per hour for T-34/76. While many of the KV-1 tanks were
equipped with 10R radios and TP-4-Bis intercom system, the lack of antennas
in period photos suggest that the two Finnish used tanks most likely had not
radios.
As mentioned both KV-1 tanks served most of the time in 6th Company of
Tank Brigade. When 2nd Battalion was transferred to Lappeenranta for being
re-equipped with Pz IVJ, this resulted also KV-1 tanks being transferred to 1st
Tank Battalion. KV-1B Ps 272-1, which had spent 4th - 10th of June in Armor
Centre got transferred to 3rd Company belonging to 1st Battalion in 5th of July
1944. KV-1A Ps. 271-1 had returned from its latest trip to Armor Centre 18th of
June and had gotten transferred to 3rd Company already at that time. After
short but relatively uneventful service in Lapland War, both tanks were
transferred to Training Battalion (Koulutuspataljoona) of Tank Brigade in 31st
of October 1944. Apparently they didn't see much of post-war use, even if
they remained in inventory until year 1955. Both KV-1 tanks used by Finnish
Army have survived to this day and are now in Parola Tank Museum.
