Thanks for reposting this series. I miss when the History Channel was the WW2 channel.

[@robertmaybeth3434]

It still gets shown from time to time on "american heroes channel" or else military channel. The only doc series better than GTB would have to be Dogfights. I think Dogfights is the best war documentary series of all time. The only other that comes even close is "The Vietnam War" 10 part series by Ken Burns.

[@rc59191]

I went ahead and got all the episodes downloaded just in case they get taken down again.

[@randallplett6842]

I enjoyed and appreciate the first hand versions from BOTH sides .

[@christopherscot3785]

This is great stuff, but at full volume I can barely hear the people who are talking while the explosions are so loud that I have to drop the volume to almost off

[@danieferreira9094]

Beats the crap out of ancient aliens!this should be featured on History Channel rather than that other crap!

[@Sierra0331]

As a hearing impaired person I’m very disappointed that captioning is unavailable for these videos.

[@paulbriggs3072]

If the Germans knew how few tanks the Americans had when they first counterattacked Stormont and how cobbled together they were, and yet how successful the were, they would have face-palmed.

[@cbradiochannel.19-whiskyalfa]

WTF This sound !

[@joemcnulty6814]

The sound is the original broadcast from years ago

[@xj900man]

I have found that the vids of this series at Breakthrough Entertainment has better sound. It also has Closed Captions. They are missing some episodes there though.

[@user-qr4pu1tt7y]

What about a tank Battle of the Kursk? That was really the most greatest tank Battle in the modern history.

[@Golden-dog88]

go through the channel youl find it

[@valar7568]

Quality counts too.

[@wayneboulier6107]

Turn down the music

[@requiscatinpace7392]

What was the point of a low velocity gun on a Sherman? Isn’t that like Ferrari putting a shit engine in their cars?

[@flogger8413]

The low velocity gun was intended for infantry support

[@stark1987]

couldnt hear a fkign thing over the shooting and ambiance

[@yie1918]

😮😮😮😢

[@truthbetold8878]

The loud dramatic music is distracting, it doesn’t add anything it makes it difficult to hear the firsthand accounts. It takes away from documentary .

[@zayxgyro1167]

Disagree feeling like no music takes away from it makes it bland

[@krispyasfuk9622]

It isn't added by the uploader, this is how it aires on the history Channel, the audio is just out of wack for some reason

[@kyleolsen6938]

The makers of tanks in Britain got models night hoods for 1939 1945 that s terrible

[@murrayscott9546]

Well. Salutes to all ( although, not military - I can only givva general approximation ). Such a desperate gamble and terror forrall.

[@jameshicks4944]

Winning a war is Not just about technology, you need an endless supply of money, food, weapons, and people to use those weapons, example, one source says that Russia alone built over 116,000 tanks to use against the Germans in WW2, and research how many Airplanes the U.S built and supplied to the Allies in Europe, Germany had the technology, but not the resources for a long drawn out World War on so many fronts, Trivia, what Nazi scientist/engineer in charge of Germany's rocket program was captured by the U.S at the end of WW2 and brought back to the U.S and then put in charge of the United States rocket and space program, recognized and praised by several U.S Presidents, and lived like a KING the rest of his life, this same man, used Slave labor of which Thousands died, during his time as the head of the Nazi rocket program,BUT,he was not held accountable for those deaths,i guess in some circumstances, the end justifies the means.

[@moc9170]

Except of the sPzKp Hummel of the Wehrmacht, there were no Tiger I in the Ardennes. So much for the historical value of this video.

[@kennethdeanmiller7324]

Were you there? Idk, if Leach & Abrams says there were Tigers interspersed among among a greater number of Panzers I would tend to take their word for it. Just like the tactics of firing smoke rounds so the Sherman's could flank the German Tanks & knock them out firing on the German more vulnerable side armor. And to those asking how we won the war with an inferior tank. The Sherman was the Superior tank in Africa but the Germans had upgraded immediately following the defeats in Africa. Therefore the much more numerous Sherman's used tactical advantages as I previously stated & the fact that the Sherman's outnumbered the larger German tanks about 10-1. Plus the Allies had already upgraded the Sherman's as well with a 76mm gun that would penetrate the front armor of the German tanks & the Allies also having air superiority took out many German tanks from the air. The Thunderbolts & Mustangs wreaking havoc on the German tanks, trains & interstructure. That's another thing people don't realize about the war in Europe. For almost a century trains had been used to move troops & equipment ie: artillery & ammo and such to get to where it was needed most at the frontlines. And the intervention of air superiority ment that the Allies could damage or destroy such trains so that troops & equipment would have to find other ways to the front. And Germany being confined in Europe & battling Russia on one front was hard pressed to logistically support another front on the other side of Europe. That's why IMHO, that Hitler was a complete idiot for attacking Russia when Russia was actually protecting its largest land border. AND Germany was already at war with Great Britain. Carrying out Barbarosa & then declaring war on the US after Pearl Harbor imho just shows how completely mad Hitler must have been. Germany already couldn't defeat Great Britain, so it decided to declare war on the US, & invade Russia. I will go so far to say that if Germany was not already at war with the US, UK & the Allied forces that it may have been able to defeat Russia. Or at least take about half of Russia's lands & propose a peace agreement. Which Stalin may have agreed to. But Hitler WAS SO CRAZY HE WANTED TO TAKE OVER THE ENTIRE WORLD WHEN HE CAN'T EVEN RULE THE WHOLE OF EUROPE. But he did come close to ruling all of Europe. Evidently having all of Germany bow to him made his head swell up like a huge pumpkin. Poor stupid fool. Or maybe he was truly the Anti-Christ & we were just lucky enough to defeat him this time around!!!

[@moc9170]

@@kennethdeanmiller7324 A typical unqualified "because we won the war" answer... Tiger Tanks were organized in heavy tank battailons. There were 3 of them in the Ardennes - all of them were equipped with Tiger II. But to Americans, every tank was a Tiger...and the Mustangs knocked them out by thousands, only with their machine guns...

It was the last powerful German assaulted in the western front in 1944 where Germans pushed best & new tanks ,Waffen SS divisions ,rather than smartness correlated amongst theirs divisions and bombers...but Germans logistical difficulties and stubborn American replication stopped Germans and draws backwards...

[@filmandsong05]

look at the german guns compared to the american a joke germans were way ahead of the game

[@Xeno1001]

Still lost the war though, so…. no.

[@paulbriggs3072]

Actually American tank destroyers had 90 mm guns which helped stop the lead units just past Stoumont. Also American 155 mm artillery was second to none. American ranks were faster and also had a faster rate of fire plus a faster turret swing to bring to bear. More mechanically reliable as well.

[@Xeno1001]

@@paulbriggs3072 let’s not forget logistically and numerically superior.

[@TheRglynn]

Actually the Russians won the war by their numbers in men and tanks, Sherman’s were built to be delivered to Germany by boats , so they needed to be light and slim

[@Red-Revolution708]

The panzers runout of petrol, the yank tanks were called Ronsons because they light up like a lighter. The biggest tank battle was the Battle of Kursk, the Russians had already won the war.
