there are tales that the NI tank and the Bob Semple met and mated. they would lay an egg that would find its way to America. it would lay dormant until 2004 when it would hatch into the mighty killdozer.

@@accountname9506 The first man-portable anti-tank weapon was deployed in 1919 or 1920, I think. Certainly well before WW2. Sure, the newer ones are better by far, but so is the active protection that wealthy nations are putting on their tanks. Tanks have always been vulnerable. That is why when Rommel requested reinforcements in North Africa he asked for infantry to support them, NOT more tanks. Also, I cannot stress enough that the quote says the side with the tanks *usually* wins. There are several instances in WW2 where tank destroyer units stopped armored units dead in their tracks(pun intended lol).

There seems to actually be a common thread of improvised tanks, being that someone with limited resources takes tractors, armors them and installs some machineguns and then calls it done. And this has been shown several times to be moderately effective when supporting an infantry force, both in world war 1 and 2 and in small town america with the Killdozer. There really isn't anything to laugh at, these machines work.

At 8:04 - for me the more interesting part of the photo from Estonia is what is on the left. As far as I can see it pretty much looks like the Estonian Arsenal-Crossley armored car (short wikipedia text now) Arsenal Crossley (also designated as M 27/28) was an Estonian armored car that was operated between 1926 and 1940. At the time it was introduced the Arsenal Crossley was one of the most modern armored vehicles in the Estonian Army. The vehicle's name is the combination of the two factories that contributed to its production. The car was manufactured in Estonia's Arsenal factory, while the engine was provided by the British Crossley Motors Ltd. and the armored plates were ordered from Sweden. And when Estonia was occupied by the USSR in ('39-)40', they were yanked to the soviets aswell: After the Soviets occupied the country, the Estonian Defence Force was dissolved and most of the Arsenal Crossleys were given to the newly formed 22nd Territorial Rifle Corps. One vehicle (the ex-Defence League "Kõu") was sent to the 942nd Storage Depot in Dvinsk. The ultimate fate of the Arsenal Crossley cars is unknown, but one car can be seen burning alongside a road in a movie scene in a German war chronicle about the capture of Paldiski. Full English wiki here with sources: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenal_Crossley So yeah, something new for at least some of you perhaps!

I still wonder just what exactly made Google Translate to mess up so badly... EDIT: And I found it. The primary source cited used a very archaic/jargon term for "car wheel (and axle)" and used it incorrectly (basically it said "wheels of wheels.") The word can also mean a half-dozen other things. Броневики в бою оказались уязвимы с передней части, так как разбивались скаты колес. Пришлось с задней части сделать надежную защиту и водить броневики в бой задним ходом. As close to original as I can: Armoured cars in combat proved to be vulnerable from the front, as the wheels of wheels were shattering [sic]. A reliable defence for the rear of the cars had been made and the cars were driven in combat in reverse. It doesn't sound like combat damage, maybe front axles/suspensions weren't sturdy enough to carry armour, but the rear ones were?

@nebufabu 5 жыл бұрын
I'm actually impressed with what Google Translate did here, I mean this sentence can be baffling even to a human native speaker. The most common meaning of "скат" is "ray" (fish, as in "manta ray") but it went with "ramp" which is much less frequently used, but at least kind of can appear in this context. It's almost as if GT is gaining some ground on the frame problem...
@LeninPolimorfed
@LeninPolimorfed 5 жыл бұрын
@3dent «скат» was used correctly in the original text. It is not the wheel itself, it referrs to the wheel's rubber coating or a tire. Basically, if we're talking about railcars, then yes, скат would most likely be used as a synonym for a wheel, but hardly here.

@nebufabu 5 жыл бұрын
@@LeninPolimorfed Well, you're right, it's the most common usage today, but I frankly can't imagine how the rubber can be "разбита," (bashed/broken/shattered) they'd use a different verb if they meant that... Some Googling and dictionary search made me think that back then it might have meant "wheel and axle as an assembly" which is something I could imagine being shattered.
@nebufabu
@nebufabu 5 жыл бұрын
@@LeninPolimorfed Another possibility is, of course that those cars didn't have pneumatic tyres at all, that it was some kind of a hard rubber shell with soft rubber filling (I remember reading somewhere that Germans occasionally did that with some vehicles to prevent punctures in combat) but even such a thing would be torn, not shattered if damaged...
@nebufabu
@nebufabu 5 жыл бұрын
Another thing against it meaning "tyre rubber" here is that it's very unlikely that whatever kind of damage it was, front tyres were more vulnerable to it than the rear ones, while it's easily imaginable with axles or suspensions... Or even disks themselves, I guess...

So there is a book I have called "allied tanks of ww2" by David Porter, the book makes mention of this tank and other improvised vehicles, the sources about it having a bigger cannon might have been confused with the KhTZ based off of the STZ-3 tractor hull which had a 45mm.

Can't believe we ran from the battlefield when seeing what is basically a Soviet Bob Semple. Yeah, we were lacking AT weapons, plus many of the conscripted peasants (since this was basically the Romanian Army in both World Wars) had no idea what a tank is. Interesting reaction though.

@@benismann factory workers assembled these tanks by using boiler plates and tractors. Since they are not soldiers they are not military. If they failed to use soviet insignia and follow the orders of a recognized military authority, under the Genova Convention they would be terrorists. However this is where the water gets murky since the Soviet Union never signed it!

British: pours concrete into lorries, defeats Operation Sealion. Kiwis: puts air raid shelter on tractor, throws matress in it creating first shag van. Japan goes into retreat. Soviets: builds the NI tank. Afterwards Jerry sent shrubberies as war reparations. Starts building tanks in tractor factories on front lines. March into Berlin. America: zoning dispute results in one armored tractor seizing part of Colorado. US only saved by strategically placed basement. France: world's largest operational tank used as "Welcome Back to France!" sign. Meanwhile resistence fighters bolt stale baugettes to Fordsons and retake Paris. Germany: still used horses for farming. Built from ground up large killing machines. German women to be had for one Hershey's bar. Conclusion: A nation's strenght can only be judged by it's farm equipment and scrap materials.
