I'm struck by how clean, almost factory fresh most of these KV2's seem to be. I know the KV1 had a lot of trouble with clutch failures and wonder if this was a factor in any of these losses.

Also on posting 13622 I don't recognise the tank turret in the background, does anyone have any ideas?
 
... late 1941 KV-1s, IMO.

More KVs and T-34s were lost due to accidents during manouvers/positioning than were lost in total combat in 1941 - 42. Crews had almost no familiarization time.
