Dmitry Lavrinenko Dmitry Fyodorovich Lavrinenko ( , September 10 , 1914 — December 18 , 1941 ) was a Soviet tank commander and Hero of the Soviet Union . He was the highest scoring tank ace of the Allies during World War II . Biography . A descendant of Kuban Cossacks , Lavrinenko finished his training at Ulyanovsk Tank Academy in May 1938 . He took part in Soviet campaigns in Poland in 1939 and Bessarabia in 1940 . In 1941 , he commanded the new T - 34 / 76 tank . With 58 tanks and self - propelled gun s eliminated in 1941 during Operation Barbarossa on the Eastern Front of World War II , he is considered to be one of the top Soviet tank aces of the war , despite his early death in 1941 . He achieved such impressive results by taking advantage of the abilities of the T - 34 . The tank ' s radical new sloped armor and great mobility were clearly taken into consideration by Lavrinenko . He performed very well against otherwise superior German tactics and combined arms . On May 5 , 1990 Lavrinenko was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union . The total number of tanks , damaged and destroyed Lavrinenko is small , compared , for example , with aces like Michael Wittmann ( 138 tanks and self - propelled guns ) , Otto Carius ( 150 ) and others . However , almost all German tank aces of the war fought from start to finish , so their overall results were more significant . Lavrinenko destroyed 52 tanks in just 2 . 5 months of fierce fighting in 1941 . This was an outstanding result in the Soviet Army , and no single allied tank officer surpassed him during the whole war . Russian military historian Smirnov notes that his confirmed kills would have been be significantly greater if he had not been killed so early into the war .

He was posted , as an " Unteroffizier " , with 6 . / JG 3 , a part of II . / JG 3 under the command of Gordon Gollob and fighting with Army Group South . Schwaiger quickly earned his first air victory , on 16 . 08 . 1941 , but by the end of the year had reached a total of eight victories at which time his unit was rotated back to the Reich for rest and re - equipping . A short secondment for his " Gruppe " to the Mediterranean Theatre , from January to April 1942 , yielded no further success for Franz , but upon their return to the Eastern Front in May he started scoring steadily .
