Its small arms were soon replaced by mass-produced sub-machine guns, such as the PPSh 1941, nicknamed the  PePeSha,'. Supplementing the submachine guns, the Degtyarev Light Machine Gun DP-27.\r\n\r\n Fitted with a circular pan magazine, it received the not-unsurprising nickname  Record Player.'New mortars and towed artillery pieces, ranging from 76mm to 203mm, entered service in the pre-war years. In addition to a wide range of towed, self-propelled and anti-tank guns, the Soviets fielded the Katyusha rocket launchers in 1941, nicknamed the  Stalin's organ' by the Germans.   The 1930s saw the introduction of the BT light tank series.\r\n\r\n The iconic T-34 medium tank series came into service in late 1940, joined by the IS-2 heavy tank from early 1944, the prefix letters  IS' translates to Joseph Stalin. These formidable AFVs led the Red Army to victory in May 1945 over Nazi Germany.   All these weapons and more are covered with numerous images in this authoritative overview of the subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
