[@kabbage878]

Nice job miles, I don’t speak or understand German but it sounds good

[@danielburkett821]

VERY pleased to see something about the Marder I! It's a very neglected and little known self propelled gun that did what it was supposed to do, until better vehicles came along. Thank you!

[@spac3fr0g]

Marder is love, Marder is life.

[@seanlivesley5424]

Russian 76 variant>PaK 40 :)))))

[@seanlivesley5424]

@AKUJIRULE what lmao

[@destroyerarmor2846]

Marder 1a1

[@rubberwoody]

Germany could have produced way more vehicles if they didn't spend so much time saying their names

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

And typing them out.

[@larrythorn4715]

In the photo of the crewman with "what appears to be a machine gun", I think that weapon is a ZB-26 LMG without the magazine fitted.

[@Pratt_]

I was wondering what it was, thanks for the info!

[@Zretgul_timerunner]

Yeah it is they practically only used czech mgs on the marder I's Some few units also used russian captured dps and french hotchkisses.

[@rickmoreno6858]

Building the tamiya 1/35 version of this kit right now as of typing this. Good kit, new tooled too

[@mikepette4422]

nice ! jealous I should get back into these kits

[@ilfarmboy]

what about the 76.2mm Russian anti-tank gun in the marder?

[@marinlukacek7821]

Thats Marder II and III they were armed with ex-Soviet 76mm M1936 F-22 cannon

[@Eur03]

Marder 1 is just a baby Nashorn change my mind

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

@Oliver Viehland Marder I came first, it is the grandaddy

[@anumeon]

Say what you will about Wehrmacht naming conventions. They really roll of the tongue. :)

[@henke7864]

Did not read the full title. And when i heard the voice. I was like. Wait!?!? I know that voice :D

[@MilesStratton]

Suprise!

[@ThroneOfBhaal]

16:45 Hahah that bloke sandwiched in the middle doesn't look amused.

[@francdc6207]

not type 135 engine , this one is the civilain version , military version is the delahaye 103tt and germans replaced the carburettor to get 75 hp.

[@billevans7936]

Cool.

[@guidoalt9731]

Marder1 mostly have an 4,7 cm Pak?

[@TanksEncyclopediaYT]

That's the Panzerjager I. All Marders had 7.5 or 7.62 cm guns.

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

11:15 So are these measurements held secret? Tease much?

[@TanksEncyclopediaYT]

Check the article on our website.

[@TheDude50447]

Incorrect. The germans were used to dealing with tanks more heavily armored than anything the russians had in their war against France. The T34 and KV1 were a very mild surprise and anti tank weapons to deal with such an enemy head on had been in development for some years. In fact the first battle against Russia included several T34s which the germans had no trouble dealing with. It was the Russians who were hardly capable of dealing with the german advance as seen in the speed of the advance. Russian losses were enormous and significantly higher than the german ones throughout the war. It was pure mass and basically limitless ressources that stopped the germans and drove them back at an enormous cost of lifes and material.

[@rkadi6540]

Agreed, 5cm pz III wad quite capable to deal with t34

[@Emtbtoday]

What the hell is that creepy looking face hanging over the rear of the Eastern front photo of the marder 1 lol!? Think if it was a command tank it had the 5 crew and 4 to a infantry division

[@TanksEncyclopediaYT]

Sorry, what creepy looking face? What minute are you talking about?

[@Emtbtoday]

It's repeated a few time the Eastern front winter photo one is at 19.39, it's like some mask from friday 13th lol mikey

[@TanksEncyclopediaYT]

Looks like some textile material.

[@ldkbudda4176]

It is cover for barell forend!!!

[@RD2564]

I look at these pictures of this toy tank destroyer and ask myself, what in the world were these German guys thinking ...? Take over the world, good luck with that, most delusional silliness of the past century, and I pity the foo's ....

[@INWMI]

THE NAMES

[@PaulMyers-q1m]

Got a small book on sp German guns on German an captured veicals some rare types

[@mikepette4422]

The Lorraine was a great idea. The French kinda got it right I think. The Brits had the cheap and kinda useless Universal Carriers and th Germans had the overly costly 1/2 Track series which were great but were too costly to build in the kind of numbers they really needed ie the demand was never going to be met. But the Lorraine seems like a good mix of the 2 not as fast as either but probably pretty good cross country Whether the vehicle has a lot of faults or not isn't going to be helpful to any allied tanks that get into the sights of that gun. It would knock out everything on the battle field until 1944

[@valvlad3176]

It is very important. What exactly is a month production of T-70s? T-34s? KVs? In 1941? !942? Are you out of your mind if any?

[@janwitts2688]

Mild steel was often substituted for the thin armour in all conversions ..

[@janwitts2688]

It was part of an actual battle report from the eastern front .. which would have been compiled by general staff officers.... in the rush to produce the large numbers of spgs they just used whatever they had... and billed the reich for the full spec most likely.... I'm sure you can dig up the source.. but I'm certainly not carrying around 60 years of research documentation fully cross refreshed. .. maybe you can (if you dont believe) contact every Marden etc owner and have them test the facings (especially the sides) of the built up sections... and as I'm sure that there are a dozen of these still about that one would be found to have non armour steel used... should be a very easy test... am sure that the people who reported this could clearly see the resultant perforations and knew what the were talking about...

[@janwitts2688]

Vehicles held in official tank museums would be best as the museum would be contributing to historic and artifact data..

[@Subhumanoid_]

No need for German pronunciation at all, whatsoever. It adds _nothing_ to the video, even if it was done well.

[@wolfganggugelweith8760]

German is the most spoken language in Europe if You don’t know.

[@ilfarmboy]

easy for you to say lol
