Overview:

The 1452nd Separate Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment (SAP) participated in the liberation of the Crimea. The regiment fought with the masterfully retreating German infantry, who broadly employed mines. In accordance with the order of the commander of the 3rd Guards Rifle Division, to which the regiment (11 KV-85, 5 KV-1S, 2 SU-152) was operationally subordinated, the tankers and infantry, who had concentrated 1.6 km south of Turetskiy wall, attacked the enemy positions from the west to capture the town of Armyansk. Several minutes after the launching of the attack the regiment blundered into a minefield that was unknown to the Russians and therefore not marked on the map. Sappers designated for mine clearing were on the tanks and could not dismount because the Germans opened up on them with all types of weapons.
