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.

To be fair, they were in a classic "motti" and would more than likely been destroyed, had they not surrendered, it's easy in hindsight to say they should have fought on but the shock of first having your lead tank blown up followed by your tail would probably have prompted the same reaction from any sane commander.

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.

That signals poor leadership. The US tank unit commander should have fought that off rather than assuming they were "surrounded". That's called GUTS and taking risks under uncertainty. I'm sure Patton had a word or two with him after the war, assuming he survived the POW camp! Sure there was always the possibility they were indeed surrounded but even there it would've been a darn fight with lots of dead germans like in "Fury", germans who would not have killed Americans! As it turned out God only knows how many more Americans died as a result of that surrender. I know Fury was a movie but things like that actually happened. Thank God most tank commanders were that way and not like that surrendering coward. Otherwise we would be saying "Heil Hitler" right now!

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)

Back in the mid eighties I was a tanker in the Canadian army and went on leave in Germany to visit some German relatives. A cousin of my paternal grandmother had been a Fallschirmjaeger in the closing months of WW 2. He told me about a battle against Russians operating Sherman tanks. After a few of the tanks had been knocked out, the rest of the Russians fled, leaving perfectly functioning Shermans behind. To his surprise, some of the veteran members of his unit hopped into the Shermans and drove them to the rear, to be used in German service, much as was depicted here. He didn’t say how many tanks they captured, but it sounded like they were up against a company strength (a dozen tanks presumably) formation.

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.😁🤘

I have been waiting for this story of Beutepanzer Sherman for age now! Finally you made it! How good to watch this video at 8am while taking my breakfast here in Nordrein Westfalen Germany.. Now this is one of my next favorite next to Wittmann story. Can‘t wait for the goat Kurt Knispel.. Thank you Yarnhub! 🙏🏼❤️

I believe the Muzzle Break shown on the Shermans was a German modification. Meaning it shouldn't have appeared on the Shermans precapture. Of course that's only a minor inconsistency in great video.

3:01 this could easily become the start of a psychological horror ww2-theme game, a silent hill-like, where you're a german soldier fighting alone in a war-torn, abandoned town, fighting both the allied and hallucinations, facing his past mistakes, regrets and autrocities (make him a SS or something) with multible endings

I’d love to see more WWI Canadian stories, I feel like there’s gotta be lots of good stories in there that most people don’t have a clue about. I think the immense nighttime trench raids they undertook would be really interesting to hear about; it already existed but the Canadians took to it hardcore and really revolutionized at the time.

As Napoleon Bonaparte said, “In war, men are nothing, one man is everything.” During war, men of all different armies will perform heroic deeds against the enemy. You may hate your enemy but never ever stop to respect their abilities to fight.
