Yikes, that Chinese armoured unit would be a quartermaster's nightmare with all those different tank models to supply and maintain.

[@Kevin-mx1vi]

Somewhere in my Japanese car lurks a tiny bit of melted down Panzer 1. 😁

[@Jermster_91]

War Thunder needs to watch this video.

[@andrew2353]

Panzer 1s would be useless in War Thunder, They were only armed with machine guns so they could only kill flak trucks, They would be helpless against even 1.0 tanks.

[@Techn1kal]

I'd also like to see it in wot

[@BELCAN57]

Always wondered how Chinese troops got German helmets. Thanks!

[@bestestusername]

Steve P and mauser pistols and thier rifles

[@envygd4902]

German thanks XD

[@theothertonydutch]

They just bought them xD

"Were equiped with better tanks" Type 89 rolls by...

[@Roller_Ghoster]

Mr Felton you are saying there was Chinese Panzers. Next you will be saying there was Japanese B17s, Tiger 1s and Stukas......oooppsss there was 😯😯😯

[@bigblue6917]

Been there, done that😄👍

[@Roller_Ghoster]

@@bigblue6917 so true lol. It was through Mark Felton's videos that I learnt all about Japanese stukas and tiger tanks.

[@misterjag]

Qingdao was a German colony for 16 years. There's still a German brewery there.

the Felton title tune is a stamp of quality

yes its awesome! heres the source: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4qkcmN-pr6Kp9E

[@CKC_Productions]

Thank you so much on making a video about the Panzer 1 Ausf. A in Kuomintang service. Not many videos portray Germany's assistance to the Kuomintang such as Chiang Kai Shek's 88th Division trained by German Advisers. Your videos are over the top outstanding and I love your channel. As a Chinese-American this means a lot. Xièxiè and Thank you.💯👍🏽🇺🇸🇹🇼

[@XilencezGaming]

Shiver me timbers, another new video from Mr. Felton!

[@mrvictorian4004]

I think you should do a video about US Marines in China, at the End of WW2

[@Kohlphoto1]

Mr Victorian My buddy was one of them.

[@bigblue6917]

How about the US Dough Boys in Russia in 1919.

[@garymckee8857]

Yes I knew a man who was there.

[@mistertree553]

[@bumblebeebob]

It's never a bad gamble.

[@TheCimbrianBull]

That 'like' button must be made out of hardened Krupp steel just like a Tiger or Panther in order to be able to withstand all of those smashing blows by subscribers.

[@zoranhome]

I always do lol

[@myyou2b]

Thank you, Dr. Felton, for this and all your videos. I enjoy your channel very much. Your content is consistently of high-quality and very compelling. Thank you for sharing all your hard work.

[@cobalt2361]

Japanese tanks fighting German tanks in China... sounds like War Thunder

[@garyjones5406]

Wonderful photos and film once again . You never cease to amaze with the quality of your work Mark. So good to see in the light of day after so very long.

[@yfu]

Hi Mark, I thank you to remember this period of history that my beloved father fought against Japanese, not too many people mention that in Taiwan anymore, until I found your channel, really appreciate!

[@owand5017]

Your intro music is so good

[@siegel947]

the Musik intro have that inspiration for war...

Perfect for moving machinery in black and white, anything beginning at dawn or stuff with historical importance but unknown whereabouts. I played it over the intro of ALF and it scared the shit out of me

[@blackplatypus6755]

Thanks a lot Mark for doing a video about this - the 2nd Sino- Japanese war has been of great interest for me over the last few years and there's not that much on utube about it and the German trained Chinese divisions.Thanks again for all the great videos.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

You know its a great channel when you can click thumbs up before the video even loads simple based on past videos. Mark Felton Productions is one of the best history channels on youtube. Thanks for all the hard work!

[@andylau7487]

You are very professional, very clearly and correct information

[@fasx56]

Thank you Mark for bringing to us Military History that is seldom brought to light and would be difficult to find in an edited and coherent form that we can learn from. We appreciate the time and effort it takes to put this all together, there has to be many hours involved to get to the finished form.

[@oncall21]

Another interesting gem. As for Nanking that was one of the darker moments of military history. Thanks for sharing Mark!

[@keithallver2450]

5:27 It was rare that the Japanese could claim to have better tanks.

[@thundercheck3691]

The Panzer I was already outdated in 1939 and was everything, but not quality.

[@chuckvan1568]

Always interesting Mark. Thank you.

[@ModelNerd]

These are my favourite of all your videos: seeing armour or aircraft in completely different markings and settings to what we're used to.

[@LundyCynical]

Love to hear how China got all those British tanks... must be a story of some sort there?

[@mikethemoomin8604]

They bought them. British were pushing their tanks pretty aggressively in the export market in the interwar years.

[@gunnerr8476]

People seems to forgot, the Western allies did helped China fighting Japan beforr and during World War Two. Even the Germans due to exchange of materials, so they make a deal. Some warlords already begin buying western equipments.

[@dyu8184]

The Nationalist government purchased them from the Brits.

[@wolfsoldner9029]

The british Vickers 6-ton tank was a very popular export tank. The italians based the chassis from many of their tanks on it.

[@blackjack8049]

Sam Bowker the Chinese had a lot of tanks French, Italian,British and American.

[@montaramike]

This is my favorite KZbin channel! Keep the great videos coming!

[@stonehaven]

Incredible! Great new, at least new to me, information.

[@GB-vn1tf]

Thank you for the amazing knowledge that you share with us Mark, yet again another fantastic video. The information that you give us makes for a much more complete picture of the events that most of us probably wouldn't even consider looking for. I actually thought I was reasonable informed about the 20th centenary and the second WW. I guess not anywhere near your good self. I'm surprised you haven't got a commission for a series with one of the big broadcasters? Mind you, the 5 minute format probably isn't something that would appeal to them I guess? Their loss I'd say! Thanks again, the highlight of my KZbin experience.

[@beavis6363]

Some good information here. I'm somewhat familiar with the European campaigns but still learning some of the subtleties of the Pacific theater. World wars, there are generations alive today that don't comprehend the totality of damage, horror, and loss of life. Respect to those who served.

[@eamonnprunty]

Hey Dr. Felton i love your videos as always! I have one question for you on this video. Why did you use iMovie to produce this instead of your normal program that you use? I think that the normal program you use is uniquely suited to your presentation style and I’m sad to see it go. It reminds me of an old slideshow with the clicking sound at every change of a slide. Anyhow, no matter how you do your videos Dr. Felton they always pique my interest so please dont stop:)

[@harryfuentos5503]

Who'd have thought! Thanks Mark!

[@drpancakes7897]

Hey bro thank you Mark very cool!

[@MBkufel]

Pz I was not intended as a training vehicle. It was a typical for it's time 'mobile pillbox' for infantry support. Also, the Aufs.A had two MG 13s

[@657449]

The purpose of a tank was to support the infantry. This was the early 1930's and that was the goal of the designers. The mission changed when real war started in 1939.

[@skulljoked]

What a work morale this appreciated fellow has 💪

[@bidenhunted8429]

Keep up the good work

[@sailingkadussa5675]

Great video! I think you should do a video about Roman von Ungern Sternberg!

[@stevenmacdonald9619]

I know I've asked this before, but never had an answer. Do you narrate on any mainstream work Mark Felton? Your narrative voice is absolutely mainstream class!! You should be doing massive projects. I'm taking David Attenborough level recognisable 👍

[@oveidasinclair982]

I love these video's, there is so much that isn't taught about WWI, or WWII, little things like the Panzer I being in China, I would have never guessed in a hundred years. Many thanks Mark, as usual another great video !

[@rastapasta6447]

You should do something about the Spanish civil war, very interesting stuff nonetheless

[@HistoryHustle]

German pantzers against Japanese, indeed farfatched but true.

[@sionlim1]

That is so wild , my dad always had only nice things to say about the Germans and told me weird stories of how they helped the Chinese nationalist during the japanese occupations. Crazy story I'm about to tell, so here goes my grandmother was a nurse from Germany and my grandfather was a Chinese banker who was familiar with the telex machine? I don't really know what that is. Long story short I have never met them so I've only seen old pictures. They met fell in love had 5 kids in total ran off to sabah in fear of Japanese atrocities to Chinese. Crazy right the narrative is always a bit different. Anyways my grandfather joined the resistance being familiar with the telex machine, and soon got caught up in the war and got caught by the japanese army, subsequently him and my grandmother along with the eldest son were summarily executed by decapitation. Leaving behind the newly orphaned 4 kids ages ranging from 6-2 who seriously walked to Singapore for protection. And then a whole new saga begins. my dad still kicking at 85 keeps 2 momentos in his wallet from back in 42 till the present a picture of his parents and the pin of the Nazi party. Btw his father was only recently awarded a medal and certificate posthumously for his heroic deeds in the war of the pacific. Crazy but true ! Also insane was that her brother came visiting while I was a young child in the 70s. But to say the German s were mot racists in its entirety is not true , as for sure they did have something against the jew. Because my father when I was young would teach me a game with a racist theme song about the jews and I am sure he hadn't a clue that it was inappropriate. I still know it . Dang! I I moved over to the states 20 odd years ago.

[@benashurov7434]

Please do videos on Chinese t-26 and other soviet aid to Kuomintang

[@frankwhite3406]

A most interesting episode indeed . The Panzer 1 reminds me of a tracked Darlic , the early short wheel based models fitted with the 4 cylinder Krupp Motor was also under powered , until refitted with the 6 cylinder Maybach's! The Spaniards managed to up gun it with a 20 mm Hispano Cannon , which gave it an anti tank capability when fighting Soviet manufactured T-26's

[@munky123jw]

I told the KZbin History Channel ran by the discovery channel on tv that they are a fake history channel and the Mark Felton Productions was the real and true history channel! Your channel is the 1 of the best! The History Guy channel is awesome too!

[@steveshoemaker6347]

Very interesting.....Tank's very much...!

[@LEGOBubuS]

Well, that escalated quickly..

[@generacionmarttin]

I always fantasize about all those surviving and captured tanks that went missing, that today, right now, they are stored in some small warehouse or garage, collecting dust and garbage on top, waiting for someone who knows what they are to release them. Who knows... It won't be the first time someone opens a door and finds out an old tank.

[@Smokecall]

This is a wild piece of history. Definitely interesting to know the background of how this happened

[@AngeloPerfili]

amazing report....
