I am always amazed on the variety of vehicles used by Germany in WWII, what's even more amazing is to see so many in prime running condition. Thanks

[@arjanvanraaij8440]

Every manufacture in germany and occpied terretory had to supply the war effort. Ford Köln build 6x4 Trucks And Opel was since 1929 part of GM.

[@darthfader733]

The M-16 I carried during Vietnam was made by General Motors Hydraulic Divion.

[@lunaticmickful]

Lots of them are build up from scrap. Saw a jagdpanther in a private collection in the UK once. It was used as a target practice for 15 years. The build it up with pictures a movieclips.

That was the Main Reason why the failed. Two man models with different technic. Hard to maintance

[@mikeramone003]

That Nashorn looks amazing!! So glad they got it running again.

[@williamwright5210]

I saw a video of them rebuilding it a few years back

[@mbr5742]

Basically the California version of the Panzer III/IV - lots of cosmetical adjustments including a huge nosejob 😂

[@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785]

​@@mbr5742 Hey, don't insult Barbara Streisand...err the Nashorn like that! By which I mean calling them "Californian". 😂🤣🤪

[@alexandrech8874]

What an amazing Nashorn!

[@ichbins8588]

looks like a huge gun, with a kind of tank added afterwards - love it!

[@mattfulmer4243]

HOLY CRAP...a FREAKIN' NASHORN! Way too cool!

[@Rayford1962]

Sehr sehr, schön das ganze. Wenn ich mir überlege, wieviel Zeit und Geld diese Menschen investieren kann man nur noch staunen. Und das beste alle Fahrzeuge fahren noch und sind funktionsfähig. Einfach nur Klasse, habe sehr großen Respekt vor solchen Leuten, die Geschichte lebendig machen.

[@terrylyn]

Incredible to think these are actual vehicles from WW2, they are in such a pristine condition, living history in front of our eyes, amazing.

[@madpeddler8263]

I'm using the numbers on the tanks for my next lottery ticket selection

[@johndaly8060]

Nice setting to display these wonderful vehicles.

[@Aquadoc1962]

Yay! Sofi's Army! I'm on your side!

[@rogerbennett2025]

that nashorn was a beast.... i didnt realize how big and tall they were

[@cohenworrior898]

Excellent choice Sofi ! Couple of them were completely new to me.

[@dickdegraaff5452]

Dear Sofilein, Thanks for sharing this. Overloon War Museum has one of the most rare collections of German WW2 vehicles and most of them are so wel conservatief and restored that these vehicles run and drive like these just run out of the production line. Almost every year you can see another example of what’s restored and new running in the parade the museum is organizing so I can understand you very well that you want to be with such a parade. I look forward to your next vlog and send you love

[@carlosescobar4390]

Very amazing

[@cortexoftheego4568]

Tracked cargo car on the back combined with motorcycle on the front, really unique thing.

[@cortexoftheego4568]

but schech schleper looks even weirder, it should to have something atached on the back I quess.

[@Normandy1944]

Thanks Sofi, great viewing and as many others have stated, lots of vehicles I'd never seen before. 🤯

[@Mitchell_Gant]

That Maultier stormed out of the woods with it's trailers like a freight train. Now if only the armored version of it with the Nebelwerfer could show up in the future...

[@davidblack7184]

It's crazy , the durability of these machines made 80 years ago . With some tlc of course .

[@tomservo5347]

Back in 1995 I visited family in Germany with my mom. I made friends with a guy who had an Ural motorcycle with sidecar which he explained was literally a bolt for bolt copy of a 1943 BMW. I think even the castings still had BMW marks along with the sidecar even having machine gun mounts copied. It would be so cool if some motorcycle manufacturer made a reproduction Kettenkrad!

[@bigsarge2085]

What a cool experience!

[@kajlennartsson4234]

Happy Tank day Sofilein. So many fun vehicles. Happy midsummer day from Sweden

[@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785]

At 4:30 the Kettenkrad has always been one of my favorites ever since I saw one in a book many years ago. They're so adorable! It's like the tankiest motorcycle ever built. OMG @ 5:51 "an entire herd" 🤣 😍

[@allewis4008]

I'm amazed they were never mass produced after the war, they're wonderful ATVs.

[@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785]

​​​@@allewis4008 they do look like a lot of fun, but I'm guessing regular maintenance even on a reproduction model would be expensive... tracks and all... The Kubelwagon lived on as the VW Thing, however, but it was pretty basic and had wheels only

[@daguard411]

THANK YOU for posting this! The inclusion of the little girl covering her ears somehow made this episode of war equipment just a little sweet.

[@YesYouAreAbsolutelyCorrect]

Sofilein, Sofilein Friendly panzerdwelling Sofilein Spots an armour, takes a shot With her camera and not with what you might've thought Look out, she made herself a new lookout 📺

[@littlehistory2392]

Love it when you visit Militracks, always good footage. One thing i've been thinking for a while now is how not only are German armour functional, but they look better than allied armour. I mean better on the eye. I don't want to pay Adolf any compliments, but as all designs had to be approved by him I would hazard an unqualified guess that Hitlers artistic and personal taste may have had something to do with it . For example compare the Churchill to the King Tiger - Churchill , ugly looking lump (imho) King Tiger - Almost a work of art, everything in balance, looks stunning from any angle and definitely has a menacing look.

[@AT-nl8ii]

Agree..and I would love to see the Löwe in real, if ever built. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_VII_L%C3%B6we

[@kingchirpa]

What a cringe comment. Fangirling over hitler's personal taste? There's a reason there are no remaining king tigers post war. They were giant heavy pieces of shit that would just get abandoned by their crew anytime they got stuck.

[@costello521]

So many Kettenkrads! I didn't think there where that many of them still around.

[@knickebien1966]

What an amazing assortment of vehicles!

[@michaelguerin56]

Good to see the Nashorn in this video. Huge effort to sort it out, according to my understanding.

[@BoogaBoy-wq3ye]

I'm an ex tanky on challenger and scimitar, its good that these very old tanks are well looked after ❤

[@TheKulu42]

Thanks for sharing your visit to Militracks with us! I'd never heard of a Bergepazner until now. And it's great to see such a variety of WWII vintage German vehicles presented so well. Great job!

[@allewis4008]

Basically a Hetzer retooled into a recovery tractor

[@Chiller01]

Remarkable variety of vehicles. Amazing to see them in such excellent running condition. Very nice camera work to capture and share the moment.

[@albatross8361]

Excellent video, an amazing selection of vehicles, the stars (imho) being that sinister Stug and all the little Kettnenkrads, looking like a breeding herd.

[@beesod6412]

ty so much for sharing your experiences, not being able to make it to any tank shows my self. so this means a lot to me. thank you.

[@Sofilein]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@doolittlegeorge]

​@@Sofileinmajor design flaw of all German equipment was the lack of a *"glacias plate"* I think but not an expert. Be interested to know how wrong I am about that actually given what's going with the Russian Disaster.

Excelente Video Cumprimentos de Portugal 😊

[@glencochrane901]

Hi Sofilein, great footage here. I (Glen from Vegas) met you two weeks ago at the Aquino Tank Show in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. Thanks again for letting me take a picture with you, that was so kind and awesome!!

[@russwoodward8251]

Really great video of some rare trucks and halftracks. Thank you.

[@irvingnerdbaum7256]

It's nice to see them all tamed and in captivity. The Stug III seems to have the markings of the old AIRFIX kit. GREAT! THANKS!

[@flitsertheo]

Model kits are often based on existing vehicles. After all, where else would they get the measurements of those vehicles if the technical plans are no longer available ? Unfortunately sometimes they also copy mistakes such as non-authentic parts or repairs.

So many rare and unusual vehicles, great to see and hear them. Did you get a ride on any of them. Thanks for posting.

[@sav2236]

thank you for showing!

[@Crossingman18]

This is what I love seeing personally is the revitilization of ww2 equipment getting a second chance in life regardless of which side they were on because of how rare most of them are in this day in time, and most being operational instead of being a static display piece in the middle of a town or inside a museum 24/7. The Nashorn and the Stug III ausf. G both look absolutely amazing and well taken care of. I see a Tiger I in the background at the beginning and I wonder if that is 131 brought out just for display. Half of me wishes I could put my hand on their cold steel frames and close my eyes to just listen to them tell their stories of combat action and how they were not only able to survive the war, but also survive from the scrap furnace as thats where a large majority of tanks went after the war was broken down and turned into scrap metal.
