Hi, Paul, thank a lot.

Are they (ISU-152) concentrated in six SU regiments of 5th Army and three SU regiment of 1st Red Banner Army ? Thank


That I mean : 333, 335, 338, 339,378,395, 478, 479 and 480 heavy SU Regiment were equipped with ISU-152 ?

And 1207, 1253 and 1419 SU regiments with SU-76 ? ( all under 10th Mechanized Corps).
