Soviet Tank Aces

This list is incompleted, because in Soviet army almost weren't statistics about personal victories of a tankers. Destroyed SPGs were counted as the tanks. In many cases I was forced to use a fragmental sources, so some scores may be actually bigger. And if you have any additional info about the allied tank (or SPG, or armored car) aces please E-mail me.
