Great vid. From the information to the background music, love it.

[@franekkimono7012]

When I saw the concrete british cars I was like "WHAT??? ok, it should protect form shrapnels and small arms, but it's a bit too heavy". But when I saw this Italian wooden car I was just speachless...

[@hansybarra]

But that wood was used in US movies; it's impenetrable against bullets and resist almost any kind of exposions

[@democratsarescumnukemecca4004]

Hans Ybarra That's to trick stupid foreigners

[@markgonzales4127]

Well done ,amazing to see early ideas !

[@jmantime]

i should do Improvised Tanks & Armored Cars of World War I

[@kevlarburrito6693]

"What should it look like?" "....have you ever seen an highly unmotivated wet fart?"

[@SashaTheDog]

I realy liked the PZKW Trekker Kroat "Shule"

[@gadjoswing1970]

the danish V3 is still on display at the resistance museum.

[@JuanFernandez-yi1qu]

Very very interesting. Vehicles that they use for easy jobs.

[@ludovisuis]

The PNP Sulu seems to be based on post-war Dodge M37

[@deans-rewind2882]

I like the music to this one

[@johnnypopper-pc3ss]

I liked the John Deere tractors . I have a model of one of the armored model As.

[@GuapoJhimi]

I was disappointed when I saw the content under this lable. I know it is easier to be a critic than a craftsman, but these appear to be more experimental or design submissions rather than improvisations. Improvisations would be more like the Cullen hedgerow cutter or adding applique armor to an armored vehicle, but done generally in the field to fill an immediate need and be utilzied immediately and not as "design" issues/objectives done as possible class upgrades etc. I would love to see those first echelon "inprovizations" such as applique armor, added sandbags, and so on. We did a lot of that kind of thing in Viet Nam early on until we caught up on the design and manufacturing end stimulated by reports from the field. Just saying. I like your videos. I am an armor buff. Please keep it up.

[@email4664]

I fully agree. Wrong period as well in the title, as many were WWI

[@TjtheSquishyLegomanic]

John Deere out here has a full tech tree

[@martkbanjoboy8853]

The first Dutch one looked the most professional. Maybe a bit on the top heavy side though. Thanks for posting.

[@mr.andrew9171]

At 11:37, how can that thing even drive with 6 inches of concrete?!

[@mr.grenade9497]

na, it was just staying it place, wheels were for the looks

[@hansybarra]

Schofield MKI/II, the weirdest tank

[@BTpaintballer]

[@alwinybanez100]

the most I like armored car is PNP Sulu...

[@paulkosoff8851]

Maybe I browsed too fast, but was there Italian Lancia 3Ro "Natale Piacentini"?.. There were also interesting Spanish vehicles - but a whole film can be made out of them ;)

[@JuanFernandez-yi1qu]

Valioso documental. Pleno de curiosidades y micro historia

[@gastonjaillet9512]

[@mr.grenade9497]

You forgot Battle in the moment you showed Kubuś..

[@Briselance]

[@mr.grenade9497]

War Thunder*

[@monsoon745]

Stfu kid real Alpha Chad males play War Thunder , WoT is for Betas

[@JenniferJones-pb3ku]

While the forces of evil stalked the Aus. And NZ stood alone, holding out for equipment that might not come from overseas ALLIES.We improvised with all we Had,and men brave enough to face evil and sit in them to protect the world. Remember them with all our love.

[@darkomihokovic545]

HTZ-16 that was it! i thought it was Ba-10 .-.

[@rickykravitz374]

15:27, those looks so uncomfortable to be in.

[@TheRustylungs]

the uk bision concrete pillbox on back old lorry chassis the idea was use them for airfield defence speed irrevelent as not meant to chase after parachutists but would be used to block runways so any gliders , planes would be wrecked on landing

[@darklight436]

No Japanese Improvised vehicles? I've seen loads of them somewhere, they were incredibly stupid looking, more last ditch than anything

[@zoltancsikos5604]

darklight436 Nothing stupid about them.

[@Ruvik92]

What were the English thinking......❓

[@jmantime]

+Mr Saturday Night Special desperation

[@jadger1871]

+Mr Saturday Night Special If you'll notice, they were all made in the time when the German invasion scare was the highest. They were looking to basically take anything they could and throw it at the Germans when they landed. Many of them were also made in the colonies, so they took what was already in country and slapped a gun and armour on them.

[@jadger1871]

cyberanimealien We were talking about British tanks. New Zealand was no longer a colony by that time.

[@jackvella6392]

Mr Saturday Night Special What can i say, us Kiwis had a lot of spare tractors back then... but not a lot of spare tanks.

[@seanwatson5518]
