Sofilein & Harald van Horn bei Militracks 2019 - Panther, Hetzer, Sd.Kfz 11, Renault FT

Seit 10 Jahren gibt es Militracks, eine Veranstaltung des Kriegsmuseum in der Gemeinde Overloon, Niederlande. Auch 2019 kamen die Fans historischer Wehrmachts-Fahrzeuge auf ihre Kosten. Die Panzerfahrzeuge "Panther" und "Hetzer" gehörten zu den besonders im Focus stehenden Kettenfahrzeugen.
Zum ersten mal war es möglich, alle je von der Wehrmacht gebauten Halbketten-Zugfahrzeuge in einer Veranstaltung zu präsentieren. Von kleinen Ketten-Krad bis zur 18t Halbketten Zugmaschine sowie dem schweren Wehrmachtsschlepper, von dem es nur noch ein fahrtüchtiges Exemplar weltweit gibt. Seine Restauration zog sich über fünfzehn Jahre hin, bis es 2018 hier vorgestellt werden konnte.
Wir trafen Sofilein und Harald. Sie sind in Spiele/Gamer-Szene und als KZbinr aktiv und bekannt.
Wegen eines Kamera-Defekts sind einige Szenen nicht so wie wir sie gerne hätten, und deshalb möchten uns für die schlechte Qualität einiger Aufnahmen entschuldigen. Wir hoffen dennoch, dass Euch unser Bericht über Militracks 2019 gefällt und über einen "Daumen hoch" freuen..

Awe, I had my heart set on listening to Sofilein speaking German with an American accent. Seeing her joy at riding around in a half-truck was enough pleasure to like the video. Vielen dank, meine herren und dammen.

I thought she is German and speaks proper Englisch in her videos 😁🙈

[@FuzzyMarineVet]

@@Hermelin315 Sofilein is an American of German ancestry. So yes, ethnically German, but by nativity, American. But her joy in playing around "thick" steel AFVs is wonderful to behold.

[@DM-qp7do]

I really get a kick out of how excited she gets at this stuff. Its nice seeing young people get excited about history and engineering.

[@michaelcuff5780]

Wow! Riding in a tracked vehicle through the woods can kind of give an idea of what it was like in the 40s during wartime.

I agree with Mark below, the Panther is a sexy beast! I think the engineers who designed it were literally artists and loved tanks. Meine Deuche is nicht so gut, aber ich verstehe was Sie sagen. Guten Tag Leute!!

That vehicle Sofi was riding in, the one based on an FT-17 (or such) did not have a turret - I'm guessing it is a command or communications variant? .

Do you think forest camo is a good choice for the guy whose directing the vision limited armoured vehicles lol

Cool

[@mikek.692]

4:35 For all of you who wonder what the writing means and what the guy explained: This halftrack was used by the "German Society for Rescuing Castaways" (writing on the door). They would drive as close as possible to the location of the shipwreck and fire a rocket with a rope attached to it aiming slightly higher than the ship. Further explaination is cut.

[@RheintalTV]

thanks for translation

[@Slaktrax]

The Panther appears to have one or two broken torsion bars towards the front of the hull. @1.55 you can see the hull is ''nose down'' when on level ground. You see see it quite clearly when looking at the bottom line of the side skirts. Compare this to another Panther @4:24 on this video clip kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZPKZIKMpdJ9ptE

[@mbr5742]

A sea rescue halftrack - interesting peace of kit (DGrRS is the still very active German Organisation for the rescue of shipwrecked, a volunteer/donation founded organisation)

[@DM-qp7do]

Lol yeah I was cringing a bit too. Im a middle aged man that can control his thoughts and body functions, and im sure she doesn't need to read comments about her looks and might much rather read comments about her video content and that we appreciate that. I get a kick out of how excited she gets at this stuff, its nice to see young people appreciating history.

[@VegardMinde]

11:58: Why do they allow people who don´t know how to double clutch drive these vehicles?

[@wolfgangwind788]

Das dürfte wirklich nicht sein !

[@wolfgangwind788]

Faszinierend wenn man wie ich leidenschaftlicher Kraftfahrer ist - der Verbrauch dieser wahrscheinlich meist Benzin betriebenen Fzg . Muß ja wohl auch ziemlich krass sein , ich verstehe nicht , warum man nicht schon damals mehr Dieselmotoren verwendet hat

[@diemisters8010]

Da gibts ein Video zu wesshalb sie kein Diesel benutzt haben auf dem Kanal Deutsches Panzermuseum

[@arnddegenhard2278]

Weil man ihre technische Entwicklung kaum gefördert hat und es dadurch nur wenige leistungsfähige Dieselmotoren gab. Sie fanden fast nur in der Marine Verwendung (U-Boote, S-Boote). Für LKW's und Panzer wurden kaum welche entwickelt, obwohl es sich später, gerade bei den schweren Panzern (Panther, Tiger I und II) zeigte, daß der Benzinmotor an der Grenze seiner Leistungsfähigkeit angelangt war und das Treibstoffproblem immer verheerender wurde.

[@SKF358]

Sofilein is amazing in she has such an authentic enthusiasm for this stuff. That authentic enthusiasm is nice to see, especially because it's so rare in anything these days.

[@ericscarburry8527]

If she made me a sandwich. I’d eat it all day

[@robertm4735]

[@mikejudge3239]

If she was to cross a puddle I would superman dive onto the puddle,and assault it,cursing it out for even being there, and then let her step on me to cross. Then ,and only then would she realize that we where met to be.
