From anyone that might know I am looking for more details on either of the above. Any hints as to where to look?
1) Info on Germans seeing a KV-1 in 1940
2) Guderian's writings
In English if possible.

I don't have an easy english source on the KV-1 that is readily available, it's mentioned in the OKW war diary in the spring of 1940 after Falkenhorst goes on an observation tour after the armistace; the exact date slips my mind. 20 day selections of the OKW war diary (translated into english) can be pulled through a college level library
Guderian's memoir's panzer leader mention his writings on the soviets in passing (ie when he talks about Hitler recalling him to active duty in the spring of 1943)... the books he is referring to are "Achtung Panzer!" and "the pocket book of tanks", both of which are widely available in english and the former of which can be purchased on amazon very cheaply
He also authored a number of military periodicals on the subject for several Reichswer and Heer publications... some of the later Heer ones in "signal" magazine may be available english, otherwise you will need to bone up on your German
