The flag pole story is my highlight! :-D

[@oddballsok]

I thougt that only the USA bothered about this on their helmets and vehicle...glad to know other countries had the same "issue".

[@Danne-Danger]

Wind-simulated paintings... I'll be damned

[@nonamesplease6288]

Love the Swedish built Czech tanks, and the cool things Sweden did wither chassis. Stefan is Sweden's David Fletcher. Thanks for another great video.

[@oddballsok]

naaah..he must grow a large, much larger moustache..and speak more ...consistently.

[@TheDiner50]

Track tension :) Cheiften would be proud! Ha ha!

[@avnrulz]

Next: Oh my goodness, the vagn is on fire! Lol

[@nonamesplease6288]

Stefan is a tank veteran, so he knows that if you don't tension the track you will walk it off and you will do it in the mud. And your gunner will hate you, and your driver will hate you.....

[@fabiogalletti528]

"how do you tension the track? Glad you asked..."

[@Kalumbatsch]

The chieftain is banned from most tank museums because he keeps tensioning the tracks. He has been warned repeatedly but he just can't help himself.

[@LtDesu]

I really hope you guys keep doing these videos! Don't get me wrong, I love The Chieftain, but it's nice to have someone else doing these hands on tank tours.

[@AlexDonnett]

The prettiest tank ive ever seen

[@Mrspaceman1999]

I keep rewarching those old videos, great insight, interesting vehicles

[@mceajc]

Superbly restored machine. Fascinating history. Would love to know more about the armament. That's a pretty serious looking gun!

[@imsteevin]

From a purely aesthetic perspective I love the proportions of this vehicle so much, it's very fantastic

Tack. Intressant som vanligt.

Yep you can tell he has been out filming at Arsenalen recently 😄

[@PSPaaskynen]

Extremely interesting vehicle! Maybe it would be an idea to have a follow-up video that includes more detailed specs about the gun, the armour and the engine. It would also be highly interesting to see how this vehicle did in the field. Does any footage of it exist?

[@justdoingitjim7095]

I play WOT and I've had one of these for about a year now. But, WOT designates it as a tank destroyer. It wasn't until recently that I learned the best way to play it and now it's a real killer. Same tier as the Hetzer and just as deadly, but a bit more pen and armor!

[@Ballistikraft]

Fun fact: the same chassis with different gun was used in the final battle scene of Saving Private Ryan.

[@even5149]

yeah, a Marder right?

[@Ballistikraft]

@@even5149 Actually there were two "Marder IIIs"; the first one might have been a real Marder III Ausf. M and was set on fire with Molotov Cocktails. The other one I'm talking about shot the tower killing Pvt. Jackson (the sniper) but later was destroyed by Sgt. Horvath with a Bazooka; here it is: imcdb.org/vehicle_12299-Scania-Vabis-Sav-m-43-1943.html

This thing claps in War Thunder with the HEAT shell, my goodness (The 1946 variant)

[@holmanjag]

Isn't it a premium? Can't quite remember. I had a looksie at the tree and tested a few. I can imagine it does do damage though. Good fun.

[@SpeedVaultz]

It's not a premium, it's like a rank 2

[@smogdanoff7053]

Spellbound yeah, with 240mm of penetration🤣

[@dangustafsson1806]

Really nice presentation, but please talk more about the cannon as well. What caliber, ammunitions type that were used and so on. Thanks!

[@PaperThinArmor]

It would’ve been very interesting to see how these vehicles would’ve performed in combat.

[@guidor.4161]

This series is great, many thanks! Please do a review of the armoured car which is visible parked next to the TNHP-S/Stridsvagn m/41. What is it?

[@jonasbergstrom7834]

That's the fm/29. Built by AB Landsverk in 1930. only one built.

[@davidhelms67]

@@jonasbergstrom7834 Jonas från Tågås? Gillar du också Arsenalens videor? Kul! :)

[@oddballsok]

glad that the museum left the machine guns on these tanks..even if they are reproductions. So many tank museums take the machine guns OUT of the tanks.. such a bore.

[@KaminStalker]

Can you please make a PBV 301 video as well? :) there is so little information available about them

[@stefankarlsson9762]

We will try to sort that, but it might take some time because of a lot of other projects at the moment

[@andersmalmgren6528]

I have my summer place outside of Strängnäs and see your sign every time we go there, wanted to visited for years now but my wife just rolls her eyes when I suggest it, will be more persuasive this year :D (Are you open because of corona btw?)

[@stefankarlsson9762]

Yor wife might like it, at least parts of the museum - it will be open from 6th of june - have a look at the homepage

[@N3003Q]

Cool

[@firespei1092]

Most of your vehicles seem like they are in very good condition. Could you maybe, in future videos, explain the current status of the vehicle? (Are they runners/ are they complete but not ready to drive/ are major internal parts like the engine/gearbox missing).

[@azgarogly]

When I was in the museum, quite a few vehicles there where muddy. They have a small track behind the museum hall where they run vehicles time to time. That is great museum, not far from Stockholm, highly recommended.

[@peterlewerin4213]

All of them are in running condition, since the vehicles in the building are in fact the entire AFV fleet of the Swedish army. We just keep them in Strängnäs over summer, when the armed forces take their vacation. B)

[@dougstubbs9637]

My fav variant of the 38t. More Dakka. The Gods of War love bigger caliber.

If the flag is wrongly painted then simply put the tank upside-down.

[@satanihelvetet]

Är tornet på den Strv m/41 i videon ett originaltorn som återmonterats efter en tid som värntorn/värnpjäs?

[@davvvvo]

Ja

[@crumbum2]

In the shot at 9:45, I wish the camera wasn't so close. Which side of the vehicle is he on? Where is the turret. This shot is too close and I actually have no idea where he is on the Tank.

[@jcadult101]

I agree it would have been nice to see the position, perhaps opening the roof. No turret, not a tank, but rather a self propelled gun; roughly same layout. What you see there to his right, is the lifted roof which the model below shows the raised roof at the front of the opening, including the handle and pads. So he is in the loader's position behind the driver on the rights side of the vehicle. plasticwarfare.se/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/DSC_0495_cc-600x408.jpg As he mentions, the gunner is down and to the left while the commander's periscope is behind the gunner. Other clues, look outside the SPG 9:33 you can see the horizontal florescent lights on the building wall which are to the front (seen in earlier footage), while over his left shoulder is the open second story, putting him on the right side of the vehicle.

[@cursedcliff7562]

Oh boy 300mm lolpen machine

[@aleksanderfiold7554]

Could You give more informations about gun? Driver's position looks like a trap. Probably one had to be quite skinny to fit there.

[@stefankarlsson9762]

Sorry, we forgot. It is a 105 mm gun firing different ammunition for close support of infantry and armoured units

[@wood_louse119]

Ser man Stefan om man åker till arsenalen eller?

[@averypayne9520]

Odd question, but why are some of your vehicles stored on gravel? Very informative and nice video.

[@stefankarlsson9762]

We wanted to give the exhibition a bit more life, and not just parked on the floor as in most museums. Lot of visitors say it looks more like a proper museum than a garage.

[@canoli72]

I didn’t see the boiling vessel for coffee/tea. How did those artillery soldiers survive?

[@mbr5742]

Surströmming and Aquavit

[@ulfpe]

Caliber 10.5?

[@stefankarlsson9762]

Yes

[@witeshade]

Good video, but if I had to make a suggestion, it would be to run the audio through an EQ to pull out some of the lower mids and increase the highs a bit. Stefan has a pretty deep voice and the recording gets a little bit muffled as a result.

[@HSstriker]

Anyone can identify the car in the background? Thanks!

[@stefankarlsson9762]

Volvo TPV - will cover that vehicle in a coming video

[@martkbanjoboy8853]

Very interested to see the little known (here anyways) Swedish armour. I heard the Czech 38T tanks had bad problems with spall. I guess the steel was brittle. It would have been nasty.

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

Actually Germany had planed an invasion in Sweden, based on information from the German planes flying over from Norway, but "sadly" this was avoided by the happenings around Stalingrad - and a very fine and funny film was lately made about a German Junckers plane landing in Sweden, during those flights!

If you are the kind of person who comments: " it's a shame we never got to see how it would have performed in real combat" -Then yes. Most swedish-born Swedes have never experienced war, and I dare to say, we are very thankful for that. This is a history lesson that teaches you that war can be avoided, but it can't be ignored.
