Response to Tank killers

 

I want to add a detail,

In one battle, the Battle of Kuuterselka on June 14-15, 1944, the Red Army lost 40 tanks.

21 of those were knocked out by the Finnish StuG assault guns, so 19 must have been killed mainly by Capt. Erkki Itavuori's Ju-88s that bombed the Soviet tank formations. Of course the Infantry close assault weapons, artillery (though, the support was weak) and the mines took their toll, too.

Regards,

Pentti
