Pegov and the two Panthers
The anecdote provided in this article is a gross distortion of the facts. There was indeed a Hero of the Soviet Union named Pegov who took out two panther tanks, but his name was really Grigoriy Ivanovich Pegov, he was a junior lieutenant (not a sergeant) in the 5th Guards Tank Army, 31st Brigade (not the 3rd Guards), the battle took place in October of 1944 (not February) and he was commanding a platoon of T-34s at the time, not a lone T-70. His crew is indeed credited with knocking out two Panthers, as well as 3 guns, a mortar battery and two half-tracks, capturing 25 other vehicles and wagons, and killing or wounding 150 soldiers and officers of the enemy. He may or may not have used APCR, but it would have been in a different calibre than this wikipedia article insinuates.
Below you will find a photo-facsimile of the decree for his award. https://podvignaroda.ru/filter/filterimage?path=VS/001/033-0793756-0036/00000470.jpg https://podvignaroda.ru/?#id=46761542&tab=navDetailManAward
