53 Churchill II(b):
This represents a Churchill II (British Vehicle Note 31) in Soviet service. Limited numbers of this design were sent as at this time, the various problems with the transmission and drive train had not been sorted. Additionally, the 2pdr gun was seen as being too weak at this stage of the war.

1a T-1B(g):
This is a captured Panzer 1B (German Vehicle Note 1). This was only ever used on an improvised basis. Any fighting vehicle captured in the early parts of Operation Barbarossa was pressed into service if they could not be withdrawn for assessment. Panzer 1b captured late in the war tended to be scrapped as their usefulness had long since passed.
