The destruction is incredible. In nearly every image where buildings are visible, they're utterly ruined. But if you take the war material out of the picture and imagine the scene whole and undamaged, these places must've been so beautiful. It's heart breaking to see such devastation and to think of the thousands of civilian dead.

Do you realize how much oil and high grade steel were thrown away/used up. How much oil went into the seas. And how many lives were wasted. And nowdays the Chinese are digging up war graves. The ships and crews from the the Battle of the Java Sea, rhe Chinese are disburbing *those* war graves for profit.

We cannot even visualize the size of the Allied landing at Normandy. A 60 mile wide beachhead is insane. 1000's of tanks, 1000's of halftracks packed with elite soldiers, 1000's of artillery pieces, all moving straight for the Germans day and night - until Hitler shot himself in the mouth.

Interesting to see an Ausf D Panther at 11.45.This will likely have been deployed at Kursk 11 months earlier in July 43.Most of them broke down and abandoned.The Panther suffered from its rushed development for the rest of the war.
@lyndoncmp57517 ай бұрын
That's a myth. In fact at Kursk there were far more Panthers in the workshops with battle damage than mechanical issues. The report from von Lauchert even stated that after a few days, engine problems actually decreased greatly once the new engines had been run in properly. You can read the full report in Tom Jentz's book on the Panther.
@lyndoncmp57517 ай бұрын
By the way, the Panther D seen at 11:45 was not deployed at Kursk. It's a later D. The 1st Abteilung 12th SS had some old Ds from when they were being formed. Ausf D production continued up to September 1943. The Kursk Panthers were spring 1943 production.

Great German Tanks without air superiority don't mean nothing
@j.43327 ай бұрын
They were also just as vulnerable to AT fire as any other tank.
@lyndoncmp57517 ай бұрын
They didn't have air superiority when a small number of Tigers and Panthers took out 44 Shermans of the Canadian 28th Armoured Regiment at Estrees la Campagne on 9th August 1944 during Operation Totalize. Not a single Tiger was lost. They sniped the Shermans from 1,000 metres plus.
