Wow! Much respect to Tom for helping, remembering tank battles. And, to the rest of the reenactment actors. Lost my uncle last year. He was a WWll vet. Good luck on selling the tank.

am i the only one who feels sorry for the vet having a ptsd attack quietly

FEBRUARY 2021 I love Combat Dealers, seeing the new series is a tonic. More please of them the twins are truly talented blokes. Hus I love his expressions when he shoots or blows up a safe just for example Freddie is funny, falling for Bruce's food tasting antics. Bruce needs to remember we're getting use to your bargaining techniques, be careful man or they'll all work you out. To Sue you deserve a medal, just for putting up with Bruce, only kidding Bruce. More please many thanks.

Terrible the way it's so obviously rehearsed and badly acted...that veteran saying about tracks deflecting bullets. ..bullets would deflect off that armour regardless...

Thats why they added more track links, to have better armor!

If I’m not mistaken, the Hetzer was never referred to as the Hetzer during the war. It was known as the Jagdpanzer 38t

[@randomrock4707]

It got its name of the prototype and after the war i was called the Hetzer

[@ye_clapped_6974]

I believe it was a name that was given to it by allies or sometime after the war

[@thegreatdominion949]

Shouldn't the troops in the halftrack be out and scouting for enemy positions if they are moving through an area that hasn't been previously cleared?

[@ninus17]

either that or an m8 greyhound scout car in front

[@thegreatdominion949]

@@ninus17 There is no substitute for boots on the ground when it comes to spotting the enemy before they spot you and preventing an ambush. It is not like the Greyhound or halftrack are that well armoured or protected or could withstand an attack from that Pak 40. Even machine gun bullets would penetrate the armour of these vehicles at some points, I believe.

[@ninus17]

@@thegreatdominion949 i agree. one thing the m8 has however is speed and it is a lot more quiet than the sherman

[@nyph933]

@@thegreatdominion949 The Americans usually had M8s scouting forward positions when they were advancing, the M8 is excellent when picking down infantry so if any standard patrol would of showed up, they would most likely be dead.

[@historicmilitaria1944]

the cast "G" in shield on the front, visible at 0:15 before its (deliberately hidden?) by the spare track indicates the Sherman is actually a Canadian built "Grizzly", built for training purposes...and none took part in combat in WW2....this example was probably one of a batch surplussed by Portugal in the 1980s and shipped to the Uk collector market...theres a few in the Uk all painted up as WW2 US liveried vehicles, as at the time they were cheaper for enthusiasts to buy than an original US Sherman.

[@Randolph1924]

Actually that isn't as true as it seems. Yes, grizzlies did have the g logo cast into the hulls but it also shows up on M4A1's. This is due to that being the logo of the company responsible for the casting itself. I'm pretty sure they were general steel castings or something, dunno the exact name. If you want more info watch the tank museums tank chat on the grizzly they sent off to another museum

If it was historicaly accurate they would have a Sherman Platoon(5 Shermans). A Sherman never drives around alone. Also does the Gyroscopic stabilisor Work? That would be a huge selling point!
