The patch in front of the driver reminds me of the German post war law regarding armoured vehicles. From what I recall (I do not know if this is still the case) If an armoured vehicle was in private hands in Germany, the armour had to be cut out in front of the driver. Many owners would replace the armour with a thinner piece of mild steel so the vehicle looked 'right'.

always nice to hear hilary's knowledge about afvs 😊

[@wealdfoundation]

Glad to hear that!

Whow. Mr. Doyle is in really good shape for his age.

[@frostedbutts4340]

Haha I'd be worried about getting stuck in some of these vehicles, but I'm a lot larger than Mr Doyle!

I got to go inside the Hetzer at the museum in Woodsire on the last day they did tours. It was really roomy inside, nothing like most tanks.

[@wrathofatlantis2316]

It looks surprisingly roomy even in the video!

[@MGB-learning]

Great video

[@wealdfoundation]

Thanks!

An interesting perspective, not from a too tall irishman. But I think the whole 'StuG Emergency' is hooey. StuG IV came to the rescue, even if was somewhat crude. 'Hetzers' did not make an appearance till mid-44. The Hetzer was meant as a AFV for the infantry divisions, freeing up StuG III use in ID. StuGs were Sturmartillerie, hetzers were panzer jaeger.

In case perhaps an appropriately sized Irish man, even though he comments on the cramped nature of the vehicle. Chieftain was just built to the wrong scale for the Hetzer.

Didnt we already have Hetzer video...this reupload?

[@spinnetti]

Yeah, I thought I saw this years ago too. Maybe new video?

It's on the Arsenalen channel I think. They seem to share it between them.
