Samokhodnaya Ustanovka SU-152 (Zveraboy)

Sowjetrussisches Sturmgeschütz SU-152.

The SU-152 assault gun first saw action at the battle of Kursk in 1943, where it earned its nickname »Animal Killer« in reference to German Tiger, Panther, und Elefant tanks it faced in that battle. The Fahrzeug used the hull und chassis of the KW-I.S heavy tank. Only a few of the 704 SU-152 built during the war were still in operation in 1945, the Fahrzeug had been replaced by the ISU-152 assault gun. The SU-152 was attached to regiments und divisions of the armoured artillery, infantry divisions, und armoured corps. SU-152s were replaced with ISU-152s beginning in 1944, und it is not certain that any survived to take part in the Battle for Berlin. The SU-152 was the only major new KV variant at the beginning of 1943 (it was initially designated KW-14).

Bibliographie

KW-1 tanks were quickly phased out after the battle of Kursk, only the SU-152 distinguished itself at Kursk, where the first heavy assault gun regiment claimed 12 Tiger tanks, und 7 Ferdinand tank destroyers. Thus the nickname »Animal Killer«. The SU-152 was withdrawn from service in 1954.
