Battle of the Bulge wrecked German and Allied tanks and vehicles footage pt1.

[@markholmphotography]

My Dad was in the US 28th Infantry Division fought in Battle of Hürtgen Forest and Battle of the Bulge - he never talked about WW2 era from mid 44 to May 45. The only thing he ever said about the Bulge was how cold it was - and he grew up in very Northern Minnesota ( which gets very, very cold in the winter) - so I have had to read books and watch old films to get an idea of what he went thru.

[@2TrackMind-c6i]

Minnesota gets a lot colder than that part of Germany/Belgium. Your dad just got caught up in the maelstrom without adequate clothing and not enough hot food. Troops in winter get very exhausted by exposure and hunger. It was hard to get them the calories they needed during those battles. The Germans were a lot worse off. I salute your father.

[@yasumitsunaka6094]

The winter of 1944-1945 was actually one of the coldest in European history, with the temperature going below 0°F that was just a few degrees warmer than the average (not absolute temperatures) in Minnesota.

[@2TrackMind-c6i]

@@yasumitsunaka6094 True enough, and made worse by all the conditions I wrote. Not enough hot food, not enough winter covering, not enough sleep. Those guys were already skinny 135 pounders before the battle.

Well im 60 and my grandad fought in Africa and Italy he’s long dead so fair play to you dude my dad was doing his national service in the llate fifties in Singapore came home with TB

[@Flying-V-Shredder]

Congratulations to your dad for surviving that meat grinder.

[@johnwhite815]

Looking forward for pt 2 nice to see footage I have not seen. Good digging

[@jacvanloon4209]

Goodmorning.I have see so many docs about WW2.But you keep coming up with new movie stuff every time that i never saw.Keep up the good work.Have a nice day. 🤙&😎

[@PanzerInsight]

Thanks, you too!

[@ukasz-zm9qc]

Are you kidding me?! These shots, especially the destroyed column of vehicles at Poteau are some of the most famous shots from the Battle of the Bulge, and you write that they are some new movie stuff.

[@Hambone571]

Really shows the true horrors of war. Excellent compilation of film.

[@PanzerInsight]

Thank you.

WHAT A NIGHTMARE....

Good to see some of the non combat guys about work . We may not be the pride , but without us the pride dont ride .

Wow nice finds😮

[@Spitsz01]

Germans writing Aus dem traum (the dream is over) on American vehicles, how Ironic. They still thought they could win at that stage.

[@2TrackMind-c6i]

Mostly, they did think that. But there were a lot of East Front troops that knew better.

[@John.S.Patton]

7:19 ?

[@wiliamsord7822]

1:53 is jagdpanzer IV/70?

[@TaborPrzemyslaw]

Yes it is. That particular encounter a Poteau is very nicely explained here too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpaZoZuuYtiIq6c

[@billspreitzer6319]

It's a panzer4/70A alright. Low production run vehicle. Maybe less than 1400 manufactured?

[@paulcateiii]

thanks - look forward to seeing part 2

[@sjoormen1]

May I ask where is the sound of track in intro from? It reminds me of something, but I can't put my finger on...

[@PanzerInsight]

I got it from a Warsaw uprising newsreel, but they use the same sort soundeffects in Saving Private Ryan.

[@sjoormen1]

@@PanzerInsight Aaah. Thanks. It's intimidating, that sqealing in the distance

[@thetruthseeker5549]

There are other platforms that allow non censored footage. I hate to see gore or suffering, but I hate to see historical artifacts damaged even more.

[@beachside1]

Such a waste of human lives. I hope we never go thru this again. Im glad Germany are now allies

[@TotalFreedomTTT-pk9st]

As I get older I agree - all those tanks on both sides could have been Combines to work the Farms in the Ukraine that they were ostensibly fighting over - war is about maintaining scarcity by destroying functional things - we lose money wins

[@garand999]

warmed up pictures , i would expected more from you !

[@uuzoo]

I hate it that they censor it.

[@ukasz-zm9qc]

Elsewhere on YT there is this uncensored video and there you can see burned tankmen from the SS Hitlerjugent.

[@madpackrips]

The German camera crew should've told that guy with the noisy pressure washer to stop

[@malemesjager41]

Please quit blurring out the true cost of War....

[@cathode6252]

I think they have to or someone will reportit, or the algorithm will automatically remove the video. But showing dead soldiers is very disrespectful to thier memory.

[@Justapokemon78]

I have seen these clips. Only a special person wants to see that, that be said, even if it was allowed to be shown. I would not want it in a video.

[@John.S.Patton]

​@@cathode6252"disrespect" lol who care about the nazi's

[@paulcateiii]

you have to understand you tube will put strikes against his channel if he doesn't sensor the casualties

[@brettschermeister9389]

​@@cathode6252it is. Respect the dead. There is a small weird group of people going around, just looking for blurred pictures and then ranting about it. Some of these people are death mongers. They get off by looking at dead bodies, especially the eyes of dead bodies. It's like a drug to them.

[@stevea2685]

I took a trip to the Ardennes a some years ago. I visited the area where the US column was ambushed and stood right where the German troops are sharing US cigarettes...There is a museum nearby and the owner told me it's still possible to see trenches where German troops dug in the nearby woods.

[@stevedavis4377]

my dad was in the 95th div. metz during the bulge.

[@moistmike4150]

Guy at 11:19 - "I can fix it."

[@Justapokemon78]

Just like in the Games😂

[@joebryant5722]

Looks like that American column took a wallop at 5.30 also note the German at 7.20 (possibly told by the cameraman) to scrawl 'It's all over' on the allied artillery piece.

[@chriskylo323]

A lot of destroyed Panther tanks, didn’t realize how many were lost in that battle.

[@michaeltiedt6376]

In 9:02 there is a burning Tank, exploding right in front of the cameraman.

[@stopwoke]

👍

[@henkvermeer8652]

Comment for the algo-rythm.

[@PanzerInsight]

Thank you.

[@longwitt]

Pixellating the unpleasant stuff out devalues the video.

[@Justapokemon78]

Showing them devalues these videos, it adds nothing.

[@kjhnsn7296]

It's war. Death is part of war.

[@Iann0400]

It’s a KZbin requirement

[@allgood6760]

War is a necessary terrible fact of life.🤔.The enemy takes over and recreate it in their own image.. subjugation!

[@warrenmalpas9875]

Was initially interested until you started blurring truth...! Crap!

[@budnrobots2968]

Go somewhere else if you want to see dead bodies. Anyone genuinely interested in the history knows enough of what those look like. We don’t need to see it constantly.

[@papaaaaaaa2625]

Cry quietly Cinderella.

[@Justapokemon78]

​@@budnrobots2968I think these people have a fetish😅

[@7071t6]

That jagdpanzer is totally unreal at the 1:54 mark, massive power tank destroyer basically germans made a tank destroyer that can destroy itself in a battle, so the allies had no answer to it, even the king tigers were totally blowing allies tanks out of the fields, one tiger got rid of around 20+ tanks during this battle i believe. 🦘🦘👌👌✌✌👍👍
