Technically this wasn't a 'tank destroyer' by German defintiion. The Germans had 5 types 1 Panzer (IE Tank) usually 5 man crew. 2 StuG or Assault Gun. This was a heavily armoured self propelled artillery gun which emphasised low profile. It was manned by artillery units and was designed to directly support troops. It has only 4 crew memebers and dispensed with the radio opperator hull gunner. The Germans had noticed that towed artillery often could not be brough forward till night falls seriously hampering infantry advances and so the STuG or armoured assault gun was created. 3 Panzerjaeger (Tank Hunter) this was a lightly armoured vehicle dsigned to be mobile but equiped with a powerfull gun. This is closest to the American concept of a tank destroyer but lacked the turret. The most famours is the Panzer 4 based "Nashorn" or "Rhinoceros" which had the long barreled 88mm PAK 43 gun. Again crewed by artilleryman they were meant to fire from out of range and under cover. One of these achived a kill against a T-34 at 4.2km. The Artillery trained crew know how to survey ranges and the commander often directed fire by microphone from 100 meters away from the tank. 4 Jagdpanzer like the JagdPanther which unnlike Panzerjaeger were fully armoured compard to the tank they were based on but had a more powerfull gun and often more armour. Jagdpanzer, jagdpanther and jagdtiger. Unlike StuG they had a full crew and even more.

@Grantidge69 Жыл бұрын
Me too, but given the Frankenstein nature of the vehicle, the general age of its components, and the delicacy of the design (even fresh from the factory in 1944), I think they have to exert an extreme level of mechanical sympathy when driving this vehicle. The pollution these things pump out at high revs is unreal, too. Might raise some eyebrows in that countryside setting. Remember, the French assessed/field-tested loads of Panthers after WW2 and concluded that 700km was the absolute best one could hope for before the engine needed re-building.... so if I were Mike Gibb, I would be driving that thing like Miss Daisy and hoping for 1400km before having to tear the whole damn back end down again....
@HaVoC117X Жыл бұрын
@@Grantidge69 the wtd is driving its Panthers for 30 years now. There is a report about a Bergepanther who drove 4200km without any trouble including towing other german heavy tanks for 1000km.

My father was a driver of a Panzerkampfwagen V popularly known as "Panther" in the 3rd Panzer Division. He described it as a very good vehicle, but it was noted that it had to be ready for use too quickly. A sufficiently long test period did not take place with the original "Panther". He had to be reported "ready for action" too quickly. The Jagdpanther had the same weaknesses. What set the Panther (7.5 cm KwK 42 L/70) and Jagdpanther (8.8 cm PaK 43/3 L/71) apart were their two extremely effective guns. What I found in historian Holland and Mr. Mike Gibb notices her unprejudiced, technology-interested and much more handling of the "Jagdpanther". You have retained the enthusiasm of a little boy, which makes this adept handling of the vehicle possible in the first place. Thank you for your great work.

-Technically not really a tank destroyer though it is fair enough description. -The US had 'tank destroyers' which were lightly armored tracked vehicles, open top, fast and with a big long range gun. The idea is they could get to the front line very quickly to intercept an tank breakthrough, find cover and pick of the enemy tanks from a distance. The Germans did have tank destroyers: the Nashorn built on a Panzer IV chassis with Panzer III gearbox and engine with the L71 8.8cm would fulfill that role though lacked the turret. They had special long range optics and were manned by artillery crew and all of the special training that entails. One of these is credited with a tank kill at 4km against a T-34. The commanders often left the tank and directed fire from outside the Nashorn. -Jagdpanther and Jagdpanzer had more powerful guns and more Armour than their turreted counterparts achieved by removing the turret and sacrificing some mobility. -The StuG were different again: more self propelled heavily armored guns manned by artillery men and usually lacking a radio operator and having only one MG.

Thanks for the great video. I saw this vehicle not long after they had got it up and running. An amazing vehicle on so many levels. They had to get parts from various Maybach engines to get one complete unit up and running. One area that could have been touched on a little more is the main gun. Alas, some confuse the Pak 43/88mm/L71 with the KwK36/88mm/L56 gun fitted to the Tiger 1. Many who watch your videos wont, but some will. Although the projectile was not too dissimilar, the Pak43 was a marked improvement, although bulky both in shell size and gun. The velocity of round was the key difference, going from 780>930 metres per second (KwK36) up to 1050 metres per second (Pak43). It meant the chances of penetrating on each hit was markedly increased. So for me it is the combination of mobility, armour, and a gun that things it hits, stay hit.

My father was part of a 6lbr gun crew with the “Polar Bears” guarding a crossroads somewhere in Belgium when a lone tank approached them from what they thought was behind their lines. At that point the Jagdpathers were unknown to the gun crew and they thought it was a Panzer 4. They fired a standard round into the tracks which bounced off having done little to the tank except broken the sprocket, I remember my father telling me the gun crew couldn’t understand why the driver kept shuffling the tank instead of swinging the turret, they assumed it was because it wasn’t far enough past the wall. Dad was sent back to the Bren Gun Carrier to get a box of the recently issued Sabot rounds, they put one of those into the tank and it went through the armour, dad said some of the crew made it out but most didn’t, those that did were mortally wounded. It wasn’t until we went to Belgium in the late 90s and met up with a historian that dad learned that what they thought at the time was a Panzer 4 was actually a Jagdpather and this was the reason it couldn’t get its gun to bear! I can’t imagine how terrifying that would have been as a teenager. Thank you for keeping these historic vehicles alive, it has helped me understand my father’s wartime story. The action is documented in a book but it is sadly told as a solo action claiming the gun crew were “elsewhere!” 🤷♂️

I'm lucky enough to have been inside this vehicle with Mike and even heard an 88 mm gun been test fired! It's spectacular example.

Unfortunaly no german translation, a little bit hard to follow for me😭, so interesting video. These two men are so exited to show us this tank. Thank you for that Fantastical overengeneered i understood. Jagdpanzer looks like a sportscar.

Schau einfach noch ein bisschen KZbin (auf englisch). Dann brauchst du die englische Übersetzung nicht mehr!

Great video, but as you have alluded to by the time they were introduced, a lot of the experienced crew had already gone to Valhalla. If you're interested, there is a great video of a Jagpanther rebuild in the armoured museum Cairns Australia. 🇦🇺

The aerial shots around the 23min mark really give you an idea of how easily AFVs could be spotted from the air from the tell-tale track marks

There is an interview Bernhard did on Military History Not Visulised with a German tank commander who mentions that the Wiesel (a 4 ton German tracked recon tank) left tracks in the grass that disappeared after less than a 1.5 hours. For a heavy vehicle that crushes the soil it would be days in some cases.

I've been waiting for the German tank in this series!! I actually built this model as a teenager, in 1/16 scale, complete with the interior. I always liked it. I'm curious how they rebuilt the sides of the tank since from the pictures it looked like there was nothing left.

Germany lost the war. Millions of dead soldiers. Cruel genocide. Scorched earth across Europe. Why are so many people still fascinated by the Third Reich? Why the enthusiasm for German military weapons?
