Michael Wittmann is the stuff of legend and universally feared.

[@laurentpremel]

No one seems to wonder why the title is "Canadian Tanks Battles in Italy" though this episode only tells about Wittman, who didn't fight there, AFAIK...

[@huginstarkstrom]

I did wonder, too

[@angelsone-five7912]

That struck me initially but then I got caught up in the story.

[@jmcfintona999]

Yes the famous Canadian Tank Ace Wittman . As Canadian as Maple Syrup lol

[@coy0te9]

i've seen it, it is on youtube some damn place. Maybe it's out of sequence as well.

[@clamsthecat]

That’s to teach the viewers an important lesson: Tiger tanks can show up when you least expect them.

[@kevinton4373]

Well forget it any way, it’s good to see watch the episode of Michael Witmann.😁❤️👌

[@joshwalden3236]

Rommel and Whittman were true legends. Much respect 🍻

[@noblesix2983]

Wittman was lucky

[@MoltenUprisingMK]

He may have been a Nazi, but he died a warrior. Have to respect him for that.

[@ryanh7844]

This is the wrong title. It should be "Michael Wittman - Greatest Tank Ace".

[@t-bonejones3576]

Are any of these videos not mislabeled? Faaack!

[@kph092]

Kurt Knispel >>>>>

[@ENIGMAXII2112]

Well I'am opening a beer in celebration and smoking a pipe for the Canadians who GOT Witmann! Sad to look at what Canada is now..

[@bradjames6748]

Sad to look at what the world is now

[@shanerr7252]

Deaths aside this would of been incredible to watch from a distance Whitman was a boss

[@unitedwestand5100]

When he rode up, it must've been Tea time. With all the soldiers gathered around little campfires,, they didnt even have time to run back to their vehicles. Those that could barely had time to gather up their tea bags, and escape to the woods.

[@bryanduncan1640]

Don’t remember many T34’s fighting in Italy?

[@terryschnaider5374]

Great episodes enjoy watching all of them.🇨🇦

[@Mark-es7bn]

People tries to be him in War Thunder well they end up like him but with no kills….

[@jingranwan1243]

and why 2 of those tanks in the intro were flying up in the air

[@rtasvadam1776]

Were any Tigers Painted the same as the one Wittman Commanded? Just a thought.

[@angelsone-five7912]

As I mentioned elsewhere - I wonder what they put in Witmann`s grave? With an explosion of force enough to blow a Tiger`s turret off he and his crew must have been atomised.

[@manz7860]

Whatever they could scrape off the tank

[@roythearcher]

so.... Kursk is now in Italy? Who knew!

[@keithbaker1951]

I love the stugs " high velocity 75 mm" lol 😆 " history"? Lol at least from the computer generated portion his barrel was the short barrel 75 that wasn't meant to fight tanks it was very low velocity. Later stugs had very good high velocity 75s

[@OGUrez1997]

I bet for the writer 385 m/s was hella fast :D

[@valdo345jr]

in 194 whatever, 385 m/s WAS fast...

[@adamlauina491]

Unfortunate he was SS but a brilliant and gutsy Tank commander.

[@Wemdiculous]

He was a fool that never learned how to kite. He had a range advantage where he could hit enemies. He charged into their range, or sat still until they could fire on him? Should have been retreating between firing and kept all his subordinates alive. His kill count would have been much lower because all the other tanks he kept from dying would have stolen future kills.

[@vitiate5093]

I think it was his young dumb side. Also the propaganda he was flooded with.

[@unitedwestand5100]

Fortunately for the Russians, the American and British bombing campaigns, had weakened the German Bomber and fighter capabilities by the the time of this battle. 6 months later Whitman's unit would be in France battling the Allies. Where Whitman is killed by a British Typhon, and his unit was decimated by Allied fighter bombers. Ironic, Aye?

[@bradjames6748]

Should have sent the Soviets a bill for fighting the germans in ww2

[@mikekelly6023]

Wrong he was killed by the Canadians 🇨🇦

[@unitedwestand5100]

He rode up to the column, and the British were making Tea. LOL

[@pinkyskeleton5410]

I'm not sure whats with the video title but if anyone is interested the last 10 minutes are about the Canadian Sherbrooke Fusiliers Regiment who most likely killed the Black Baron, Michael Wittmann all tho even to this day people are arguing who actually killed him.

[@heavenburnt9055]

Germany's Audie Murphy

[@arcticfox8932]

mix up video picking to export on youtube

[@happierabroad]

This is the wrong episode. The title is wrong.

[@jamesbingham4538]

How did he manage to refuel and reload all of those rounds ?? Whiteman is only as good as his supply line

[@jingranwan1243]

there like generals

[@contamet8284]

There is a Video in your ads

[@shanerr7252]

As if your not gonna put him in a tiger after taking 6 t34s with an effing stug lol

[@Ricenoodles80]

I've never heard a SS with a American name.

[@jingranwan1243]

😃

[@jwhite146]

too many ads

[@smoke3798]

Full of propaganda and at the kursk battle the plane make a huge impact on the tank unit of the 2 side. Ohh and he was not the best tank ace of the german in ww2

[@WIRobin]

This show gets somethings wrong.

[@rascallyrabbit717]

You're right, I was the one running Deutschland back then

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

one way T-34s could outrun the Tiger tanks was make it run out of ammunition by making the Tiger crew fire continuous volley on fake damaged T-34s disguised as working functional T-34s!!! and in between the damaged T-34s put in three fully armed & functional T-34 (inside every formation of the damaged T-34s) that would occasionally fire back at the Tiger tanks!!! the Tiger tanks wasn't designed in the lines of the Sherman or the T-34s for that matter!!!

[@staredsky]

Learn to write the correct title

[@Condorman1]

Change the name of the video for crying out loud.

[@josephbyrnside7051]

He was a demon empowered by a bigger demon.Why he is admired still by some is very disturbing.

[@Princewells20]

I don’t like to blame soldiers just because they’re on the side that is against yours we all fight for what we believe in even if it’s wrong, soldiers have orders and it’s not like today where news and events are at your fingertips you just believe what you’re told. Don’t have to like what he did stood for but admire him as a soldier that died for others to live (in his eyes of course)

[@huntermathis8051]

666 baby

[@bryanhadinger2842]

Change history
