It’s the 17th of January 1945 in the outskirts of the French town of Herrlisheim.
Obersturmführer Erwin Bachmann is in a sidecar when he spots two Panther tanks right on the edge of the town. Taking command he goes on to engage with 14 Shermans tanks. 2 Panthers versus 14 Shermans! With perfect timing and planning he directs the Panthers to block the Sherman's in causing 12 to surrender. When the dust settled Bachmann’s actions with just 2 Panthers resulted in the capture of 60 American tank crew members, the release of 20 German POW’s, and the capture of 12 completely intact Sherman tanks. Obersturmführer Erwin Bachmann would be awarded the Knight’s Cross for his leadership, and the tank crews would be awarded the Iron Cross for their performance. The captured Shermans would go on to serve for the German army, being used in anger against the allies in the dying months of the war.

Corrections:
09:53 Erwin Bachmann volunteered in the Waffen-SS in August 1939 and served in the SS-regiment Germania, then SS-division Viking, then SS-division Frundsberg. We removed SS insignia from the uniform as we often do due to monetization issues on platforms such as Facebook. Some viewers raised the issue out that we didn’t point out the fact that Bachmann was SS and per the Nuremberg trials a war criminal. We agree with their assessment, and we should have mentioned these details in the script.
10:53 We realize these were photos of Sherman fireflies but we couldnt find images that we could obtain rights for American Shermans in German colors

[@M4A1BestGirl]

The Wehrmacht were not the only ones who used captured tanks. Virtually every Axis country had at least one captured tank. Their intent was to take it apart and see what made it so special. In the case of the M4 Sherman, it was extremely versatile and somewhat inexpensive, making it perfect for invading a foreign country who's tanks were arguably much better, but could not be rolled off the assembly line as quickly. Although the Sherman suffered massive casualties against Germany, it was able to delay them long enough for reinforcements to arrive.

There was a similar event earlier in the war in Italy. A German officer scouted a small Italian town with a handful of soldiers. He realized he stumbled upon a platoon of Sherman tanks and tried to destroy one. He missed with his Panzerfaust but quick thinking enabled him to catch the majority of the crews outside of their vehicles. He captured 5 Shermans (or 4 to be precise as 1 had managed to escape and ended in a ditch out of town)

[@charleshaacker9568]

If you note the date, this was near the official end of the Battle of the Bulge, the last great German push to reach Antwerp and continue the war. The Ardennes region up until Dec 16, 1944 was a rear area, where exhausted and depleted units were resting, replenishing, and taking in green new soldiers and tank crews. The veterans were dead or incapacitated, so in the absolute chaos of the sudden attack on a wide front, the cooks and clerks were fighting for their lives along with the infantry. Those of you who experienced Tet will know what it's like. The green crews in those Shermans made mistakes that they would not have made just a few days or weeks later. If the Germans didn't know in advance, they figured it out in a hurry. They almost broke out.

America's German heritage has been forgotten, but it was incredibly important before WW1. German language only became unpopular then.

Well done YarnHub!🙂👍 I love these computer animated history exposés. Absolutely phenomenal. I really enjoyed your Adolf Galland’s & Hans-Joachim’s vids as I’m a huge history & military history buff. My favorite historical periods are the Roman Empire & WW2 but specifically the European Theatre regarding the latter. Anyway, as a US Army veteran & former tanker, I have a biased affinity towards tanks or panzers so I really enjoyed this one. Even though I’m pretty well versed on the Wehrmacht & have read several memoirs like Otto Carius’, Hans Von Luck’s, etc & know most of the panzer aces & commanders, I was unaware of Obersturmführer Erwin Bachmann. What an incredible story. Glad he survived the & had a long life where he only just passed away in 2010. Sadly, renegade Panzer Ace Kurt Knispel who was by all accounts a very decent & honorable man died 10 days before WW2 ended after having survived years of some of the bitterest & most savage fighting. So tragic. Well done & the animations keep getting better & better. I really, really…REALLY love all the different camera angle shots from the close-up POVs of varying viewpoints on various objects like from Bachmann’s view to a tank round’s flight and all the rotating panoramic shots, zooms & close-ups. You get put into the action like a proverbial “fly on the wall.” It’s visually beautiful but the minutiae makes it emotional, powerful & cathartic. For example, the small action of Bachmann stepping on the cat toy makes the action seem so real & reminds us of the strange juxtaposition & dichotomy of the horrors of war & the humanity of it all as the cat toy is a simple but robust vestige of domestic life that is shattered by war. Get me? Maybe I didn’t explain it well.🤷‍♂️. Anyway, The multitude of small details like flying snow from Bachmann’s boots as he’s running to the ballistic airwaves from the tank round penetrator’s flight adds real depth to the realism of it all. Freaking Brilliant. Keep up the amazing work👍🙂 Thanks for this great episode.😁🤘
