Not actually a Russian KV-1, but a German Panzer 4. Neither is this picture from WW2. It is a still from Finnish movie "unknown soldier" from 1955. In the original book the tank taken out in 1941 was a KV-1, but by 1955 neither one of the two captured KV-1 due to lack of part to keep them running. Instead one of the 15 late model J panzer IV tanks was used instead. Note that the hull machine gun, original MG34 has been replaced by a soviet DT tank machine gun, a standard machine gun in all Finnish tanks after the war. These 15 factory new panzer IV did not get a chance against Soviet forces, but they were for a short time used (ironically) against the Germans.
