The brave tanker G. Z. Kolobanova

The crew of the KV-1, which was led by senior Lieutenant Z. G. Kolobanov, just three hours of the battle on 19 August 1941, destroyed as many as 22 enemy tanks! This is an absolute record throughout the great Patriotic war and subsequent wars. Tankers did a very clever thing: passing to the nearest road of a tank column they shot the "head" and "tail", and then began to methodically shoot stuck "iron beasts" of the enemy. Note that the tank of our heroes has received 135 hits by German shells. While the tank continued the fight, and in his designs, nothing is out of order
