Hallo Francisco:
Hier habe ich was zur Körperpanzerung von SU Soldaten gefunden:

Dazu muß man aber anmerken, daß solche Panzerung schon im ersten Weltkrieg an der Westfront von Deutschen wie Westalliierten in großem Umfang benutzt worden ist. Die ersten die solche Panzerung verwendeten waren die Franzosen.
Solche Panzerung wurde vor allem von Festungstruppen getragen, die Belgier wie auch die Französischen Festungstruppen der Maginot Linie hatten auch solche Panzer. Einige wenige Sowjet Einheiten trugen dann diese Panzer auch im Orts- und Häuserkampf:
Assault groups.
The Red Army formed and widely used special storm troops for storming and destroying the fortified defense in the second half of the war. In the last phase, meeting the strong prepared defense lines, after horrors and losses of fighting in the cities, the Red Army widely employed these units as an integer part of the front line troops and storm armies. They played an important role in the fight within cities. For example, 104 assault groups and 26 assault units were engaged in the siege of Koenigsberg.
Typical assault group consisted of infantry platoon with 2-3 tanks and 2 field guns (76 mm or 122 mm) for the fire support, a company of miners, a company of flame-throwers and 2 AT guns. The assault unit included a battalion of infantry, 10 tanks, battery of 120mm mortars, battery of field guns and a couple of heavy guns, platoon of miners and platoon of flame throwers, i.e. a few storm groups. Often the infantrymen in assault groups were equipped with bulletproof metal vests. Some sources said that the fight with the Soviet heavy infantry had the demoralizing effect on the Germans as they appeared to be not affected by the fire.
Both assault groups and units should not be mixed with storm armies, which was formed on the other principle. Assault groups operated in three operational parts: assault part, fire support and reserve. The groups were tasked with destroying the enemy's fortifications, hence the inclusion of all necessary means for the purpose. The main attacking element of these groups and units in the cities were flame-throwers because the flame could penetrate the places and corners no other weapon could. There are numerous indications that the flame-throwers were used widely and to the great effect, especially so in the cities. The stream of fire were devastating the enemy's positions in the buildings and cellars.
However, special units equipped with flame-throwers existed already in the beginning of the war. The tank and the flame-thrower were married also long ago and T-26's with the flame-throwers were used in the Finnish/Winter war. A bit later flame -throwers were installed on BT-7, T-34 and KV (KV- 8 ) and T-34.
The infantry had their own pack flame-throwers and special mine like charges could be used as well to detain the advancing troops.
With the developing of the operational art the flame-throwing tanks were united in independent units and used to add a punch to the storm armies. Typically, these units, Independent regiments or battalions, were used together with the standard tanks and batteries of SP guns. With the advance operation in progress, the flame-throwing tanks were used for a while as normal tanks before the unit was put in reserve.
With KV's gradually dropping out of the circulation, T-34's became the main platform for carrying flame-throwers. The equipment was installed instead of the hull machine-gun with only external difference in the MG mask.
The tanks with the flame-throwers were collected into the independent tank regiments, which accompanied assault groups in the advance operations.
