[@soundslave]

I didn't realise how huge that halftrack truck was. It's bigger than most tanks.

[@CMaldonado1690]

soundslave I think it was a SdKfz 9 Heavy recovery vehicle...it towed tanks.

[@soundslave]

"To tow the tank, you must become the tank" kinda thing

[@FirstGunnerySergeant]

No, it towed the german Flak. 8.8!

[@jackfuller8960]

It towed artillery yes, but they were also used as recovery vehicles. Despite their size and power it still took three 18 tonne Sd.Kfz.9's to pull one tiger!

[@hilmanhusein763]

Wow cool.. 👍

[@Вячеслав-ф7у1о]

Уважение людям, так хорошо сохранившим историческую технику!

[@-jk5]

Да пошёл ты на Х...Й! вместе с такой историей

[@Dunstire]

That big half-track would solve all my problems of trying to get a parking-space in my local super-market at Christmas."Move or be crushed". Thankyou and have a nice day

[@joshuagodsey3731]

andy d they are expensive though just find a five ton or a deuce in a half much cheaper and nearly the same size or possibly bigger depending on the variant but sadly no tracks but you do have 6X6 with 48in standard tires

[@Hunter12396]

All of these vehicles are rare, but there are a few extra special ones this year. 2:49 Hanomag Diesel Road Tractor, 3:26 Sd.Kfz.7 Late production with wooden flatbed deck, 3:42 Schwerer Einheits PKW, 3:57 Volkswagen Typ 82E, 5:25 (tan 6 wheel truck) Steyr 640, 6:30 Sd.Kfz.10/4, 7:35 Opel Blitz 3,6-36 Kfz.305 - a room on wheels that had a version for basically any function you could ever want, 12:10 French Lorraine 37L artillery tractor, 4 roadwheel short version, 13:16 Opel Blitz 3,6-6700 A Tanker,

[@ZsXie10]

Hunter12396 thanks a lot.

[@plugplay6962]

ty for knowledge.

[@alexandre210613]

Merci de nous avoir éclairé 🙂👍

[@christianh4723]

There's just something so satisfying about the sound of old engines, axles and tracks creaking and squeaking, etc.

[@pekojam]

Except if you are the Russian soldiers in the trench If you are them that is terrifying

[@pekojam]

But the sound indeed satisfying

[@13thBear]

What a grand event to see! I've only seen these vehicles in books before today. How wonderful it must be to own or even see them in person! I cant begin to imagine the logistical nightmare it must have been to order, stock, maintain all the different parts for all the different vehicles in a panzer unit or even a motorized unit! Thank you for uploading this video.

[@markfryer9880]

13thBear; I couldn't agree more. I was wondering about the whole logistics problem myself during the video.

[@user-lm1ld6kj8t]

Vielen Dank aus Russland. Бесподобная коллекция техники будет только дорожать с каждым годом ! На ходу в прекрасном состоянии ! Везунчики, покатались на таких раритетах ! Я в восторге, и рысь, и штуг, и хорьх, и штаер, чего только нет, тягачи почти все! Шоколадка, а не коллекция !

[@olafisack2251]

Besten Gruß aus Deutschland !!👍👍

[@gregster1950]

I did not realize how kinds there were! I thought I knew a good amount of WWII history, but have not seen many of these. How exciting, and like others have said, they still run!

[@JeovahLovesYou]

i want one of those half track bikes!

[@joeboyd1964]

Gabriel Gonzalez Ikr, those are so cool!

[@coniow]

+Gabriel Gonzalez, they are called "Kettanrads" (My spelling may be wrong here :-), and they are much sought after, as I understand. These days they do not come cheap!

[@charleswillsonpeale5739]

Kettenrad

[@greasysteve5671]

Gabriel Gonzalez mercs 2 panzercycle

[@17hmr243]

they make a modern version google snowmobile :P

[@davidMax19]

Amazing pieces of history.I'm glad so many are still in good nick!

[@gregfair1749]

Such an awesome collection of German WWII equipment!!!!!!!

[@KingOfAllAnimals]

Love the Kettenkrad but the Schwimmwagon was the best! What is not to love about an Amphibious vehicle?

[@opoxious1592]

I'm in love with the schwimmwagen. But this verhicle goes for a couple of hundreds of thousands of dollars😥

[@jasonsabourin2275]

UDT's

[@jasonsabourin2275]

Just being A Smart ass. I love them too!

[@markosparko7873]

Great to see these things out and about not just in a museum.

[@raydenkreps2014]

Mark O' Sparko they were made to be driving

[@jasonsabourin2275]

Right, like people with Classic Cars, life's too short, if it can't be used, it's like.......... What's the point of having it? It's just A giant paper weight that requires upkeep, and maintenance, What A Waste, Illogical.

[@김송-l1i]

german vehicles still operate pretty well.

[@jaihadgeppo150]

김송 Anything moves well if maintained

[@garyleavitt5322]

Stoigen Froigen exept maus

[@Scrat335]

And Panther tanks in 1943.

[@befundara]

@@Scrat335 haha

[@Scrat335]

@@befundara Pretty interesting statistics from Robert Forcysk. Batallion of T-34s move 400 km and have a breakdown rate of 15 percent. Battalion of Panthers move 90 km and have a breakdown rate of 35 percent. 1943. They improved later though but we're never as reliable as a T-34.

[@danielhayes582]

Bloody hellfire, that first half track is gigantic!

[@marcor3843]

True, we tend to lose the sense of scale of these vehicles since most of us know them primarily from vintage photos, scale models or 3D graphics.

[@wessel2009]

Yea itts gigantic i was on it costs 5 euro to get a ride.

[@JonatasAdoM]

+MAR COR Also you don't see people using normal clothing what helps to see tue scale better.

[@markfryer9880]

Wessel200 5 euros, about $7.30 Aussie dollars, I would call that money well spent on a ride you will remember for a very long time with help of this video. I must admit to being just a touch jealous :))

[@ХомякХомяков-ъ3м]

XVX6katana6XVX it's FAMOZAUR! !

[@robbleeker4777]

amazed to see the many different types of half tracks those Germans did produced

[@Dan-sq5cv]

Great to see these machines running. What is amazing that's some pretty fair equipment by today's standards. I love those Kubelvagans.

[@Shockinh]

Better than today offroad.

[@achikogurgenidze2645]

Das ist fantastisch!naturlich!!!!

[@gwenstefani2211]

Halbketten sind Meeeega geil❤️❤️❤️

[@whysosyria1]

I think those half track motorcycles look bad ass.

[@malnutritionboy]

i like those and the huge truck the most

[@itsbradmin3423]

They really do

[@dankwartdenkhardt5714]

Those overlapping running wheels of German halftrack-vehicles are looking so sexy

[@MTG776]

This is awesome... I wish I could 'like' it twice...

[@Holret]

I kind of like how the public is given a chance to ride in them. In the US people are off limits as if they have the latest stealth fighter in secret components.

[@Buck1954]

But there are places to ride antique tanks, etc. in America. These are antique German war vehicles, not modern day with secret electronics.

[@whysosyria1]

Holret here in fla there was a museum that you can ride in a M8 Greyhound armour reconnaissance vehicle. Sadly that museum isnt around anymore.

[@RandysFiftySevenChevy]

Im adding it to my bucket list

[@Hunter12396]

the Sd.Kfz.9 at the beginning is moving just a little bit faster than I'm comfortable seeing one move

[@skeena59]

That's blitzkrieg speed.

[@opoxious1592]

Yeah, you are right. The speed is impressive.

[@miguelangelmartinez.416]

What a coincidence VW cut the video to announce the T-cross model...

[@kenonifty]

Luv this. Thanks for posting.

[@davidjanuszewski5020]

Excellent, thanks.

[@ronninascimento7545]

Fantástico!!!

[@myramadd6651]

Beautiful machinery!

[@axeman6560]

Wow! A Stug as well , I've died and gone to heaven.

[@emilioalcazar4170]

Awesome..fantastic vision of these veterans in action!!

[@westmister]

Breathtaking! Perfect condition!

[@mydnasample]

I enjoyed that, TY!

A pleasant spring drive through the Ardennes.

Stug life

[@maiicolknight5006]

Does anybody knows if there's a video of the katiusha rockets show on KZbin? Thanks in advance 😉

[@okapmeinkap7311]

that amphibious thing is great to go lake fishing in

[@opoxious1592]

They calll it a "Schwimmwagen" or "Swimming car"

[@yolamontalvan9502]

They are great for making movies.

[@darrelbautista9038]

Love those halftrucks

[@octaviofioravanti2827]

A velha e magnifica mecânica alemã, com seus veículos incríveis!!

[@Hammern28]

If I were the richest sod in the galaxy, I'd own all of these vehicles. Yep!

[@ianmangham4570]

Awesome footage

[@MrOlgrumpy]

Brilliant,some serious investment there,on the bucket list

[@israorigemdomal8833]

_Que história viva e sensacional...

[@pokeyrailfanning]

It would be sick if they had Tiger 131(PzKfg Tiger l) and Tiger 133 (PzKfg Tiger ll) there.

[@pedroalbertogarciabilbao1980]

Algunos de estos cacharros los tuvimos de visita en España. En mala hora. Me alegra verlos usar para dar paseos por el bosque a gente normal.

[@arisaka233]

if i were to choose between a ferrari or the vehicles in the video fuck yeah, i stay with the sdkfz 250

[@極右政党日本国家真民]

great！

[@ryanvictoria6206]

A German veteran in his 80s or 90s would see and hear a lot of familiar noise.and perhaps give him a few flashbacks.

[@magicelkiller]

All of them are awesome

[@shako4907]

So this is How Blitzkrieg looked like

[@maxkronader5225]

Nice. You don't see running Schwimmwagen too often.

[@agp11001]

02:36 - 02:51 : German units being pursued by the Polish forces, 1939 (colorized)

[@kubanskiloewe]

12:16..my favourite cabrio !

[@fvw88]

4:36 Those people riding on that Stug are getting gassed bad, lmao.

[@dillerhiller]

why? the the emmisions go out from the bottom at the rear

[@MothRetra]

It's as if I'm watching the rehearsal set for an Indiana Jones movie!

[@anupkrishna9829]

German vehicles are build for long lasting. Like Panzer, kubelsitzwagen & many more. I wonder that they are in still operating condition. I think German engineering is the best.

[@johndunn4228]

Brilliant weaponry built by brilliant people thinking outside the box, thinking blitzkrieg. I especially am impressed with the armored fire-team and squad carriers. They just tried to save to much to fast.

[@amirtahta1974]

Did you know that, those vehicles were used for the troops mobilization faster and efectively destroy the Enemy's line in a short of amount time. Also i would rather like the Wehrnmacht panzer's design, it was cool and elegant to be seen than Allied panzers.

[@Terramorfios]

6:30....девушке нравится длинный ствол)))

[@Nunechka]

неудивительно почему они чуть не победили..

[@bluemarshall6180]

0:36 I Really Like that Car.

[@ОльгаЗуева-й3к]

Не хватает в кадре русских партизан для полноты картины.

[@flubberlane8437]

Just like old times !

[@fw1421]

Where in the world did they come up with a FAMO?🙀🙀🙀

[@krisztm7221]

imagine event like this today.

[@MichaelKelly-yu3nl]

The Wehrmacht had some pretty cool equipment.

[@davidrobinson4012]

Cool!

[@ricardoleyton4913]

Super ingeneria hacen super maquinas...maravillas

[@JSharap]

How do they get the spare parts for maintenance? These things are more than 50 years old!

[@ElConquistador24]

Fabricate new parts is my guess

[@zzzzxxxx341]

GERMAN MINDS.

[@opoxious1592]

Almost 80 years old at the time i write this

Did anybody notice the lone VW beetle with the oval rear window? 1939? How rare would that be? Les Griffiths

[@opoxious1592]

Very rare these days.

Strange kind of public transportation they have in this place.

[@rolfagten857]

It was always a great event, I wonder if it will ever come back ???

So you guys didn't take Aeroflot?

[@gma729]

VERY COOOOOOL !!!🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍

[@thechurch5000]

Those engines sound haunting..I can just imagine being a Russian in a trench waiting for that convoy to drive up so you can open fire. Must have been scary as sh*t.

Love Germany of Thailand

[@jaymckay8942]

@6:44 a Luchs!

[@ДенисНекрасов-г5ъ]

We will always remember yours great "caput" in Soviet Union.....

[@jirka6450]

Super

[@Maximilian7992]

I was hoping for the Sdkfz 9 Famo armored recovery vehicle and not the personnel carrier

[@tekis0]

Hello: What's the vehicle @ 12:01-12:13 AND 13:02-13:16? Is the 2nd one a Luchs (Lynx)?! Thank-you for the answers!👍

[@Tanksandmore]

Lorraine 37L and Luchs yes

[@Poop-nu1so]

1:10 what's this beast of a halftrack called?

[@jacqueline6475]

Sd.Kfz 9

[@JonatasAdoM]

Don't forget the belts... oh who am I trying to fool here

[@williamworth2746]

you would think a modern half track would be a good idea

[@erlinbell2417]

Is it sad that I know the name of ever vehicle in this video

[@jasonsabourin2275]

No, what would be sad is if these vehicles weren't around anymore, and they weren't maintained, and there wasn't events like this, and in turn the next generations didn't have A physical connection with the past, because as hard as it is for people like us to believe, the knowledge/history of this time is not being passed along......... That is unless you count video games, let that sink in for A little bit. 🎮🤦

[@jasonsabourin2275]

Oh! And I think it's Very Nice that you know the names of all of these vehicles, it shows that you pay attention.

[@jasonsabourin2275]

Tell me you didn't learn the names of these vehicles through Video Games?!?!? 🙆🤢

[@erlinbell2417]

I learned them from a little bit video game mostly books

[@homefront3162]

Hell yeah!!!!
