The first combat vehicles of this type were produced in the late autumn of 1942, and they were equipped with a notoriously unsuccessful power plant from two parallel installed GAZ-202 gasoline engines with a capacity of 70 hp. This power plant was very difficult to control and caused strong torsional vibrations of the transmission elements, which led to their rapid breakdown. Initially, the ACS was fully armored, which led to the inconvenience of the crew in the fighting compartment. These shortcomings were revealed during the first combat use of Soviet serial self-propelled guns on the Volkhov front, so after the release of 608 vehicles, serial production of the SU-76 was suspended and the design was sent for revision. However, the great need of the Red Army for self-propelled artillery led to a half-hearted decision - to leave the "parallel" power plant and the general layout of the machine according to the same scheme, but to strengthen its elements in order to increase the service life. This modernization (already without the armored roof of the fighting compartment) was named SU-76M and went into production in the summer of 1943; a number of self-propelled guns of this version managed to get to the front by the beginning of the Battle of Kursk. However, the overall result was disappointing. According to the results of an internal investigation, one of the main culprits was named S.A. Ginzburg, who was removed from design work and sent to the front as part of the 32nd tank brigade, in which he took the post of deputy technical engineer. Semyon Aleksandrovich's combat career was short-lived: he died on August 3, 1943 near the village of Malaya Tomarovka, Kursk region. For Zaltsman, this story also did not pass without a trace - on June 28 he was removed from the post of People's Commissar of the Tank Industry.Payment Policy We accept only PayPal Shipping Policy We ship WORLDWIDE.We will ship your purchase to your eBay address using AIRMAIL with TRACKING NUMBER.
