… 269th Infantry Division of the Wehrmacht near Leningrad
"Soviet KV-2 heavy tank captured in service with the Wehrmacht. This car was manufactured in May-June 1941.
Initially, the tank (serial number B-4673) belonged to the Leningrad Red Banner Advanced Armored Training Course for the General Staff of the Red Army (LKBTKUKS) and was delivered to Leningrad for repair. During the repair, armored screens were welded to protect the turret ring and an armored strip to protect the hatch in the control compartment. Additional tanks for fuel and lubricants are installed on the fenders. After repairs, this tank ended up in the 1st Panzer Division of the Leningrad Front and was captured by units of the 269th Infantry Division in mid-September 1941 near the village of Taitsy, Leningrad Region, after which was restored by the Germans and was used for some time as part of Pz.Kw.Zug 269 of the 269th Infantry Division of Army Group North. Remains of a car were recently discovered in the Pogostya area. In February 1942, the car got stuck in a swamp and exploded."

Since I don't have a decoder ring I didn't know what UT meant. Maybe just writing it out would be more helpful. |

I believe the Germans had a company of these slated for the invasion of Malta that never happened. |
