Tanks! Evolution of a Legend. 05 of 12 Sturmgeschutze and Panzerjaeger

[@davemacnicol8404]

I sure am thankful for the hard-pressed producers of this documentary

[@cdrseabee]

The Ferdinand was at Kursk. Not the Elephant. The Elephant was a modified Ferdinand after Kursk.

[@HbEthan.]

Modified for combat on the Italian front. Which was extra hull armor a hull machine and smoke grenade launcher for Infantry defense since it had none during its trial run at kursk.

[@sfbfriend]

great piece, however I hate it when the sound is so damn low, even with your computer maxed, that you have to put on head phones just to hear it!!WTF

[@paauggie]

Really is a wonderful series - thanks again for posting these :)

[@RohanGillett]

The A7V Mephisto at 18:54 is at the Queensland Museum in Brisbane, Australia I believe.

[@progx8679]

At (13:55) they are not Jagdpanther V they are Jagdpanzer IV L/70 (A) on the train.

[@RiflemanMoore]

+Prog X I'd not noticed that before, thanks! Went back to check and the suspension makes it very obvious in retrospect.

[@progx8679]

Rifleman Moore Hey no problem it took me a couple of times ! Yes that Mk.IV suspension and very boxy top caught my eye. Thanks for posting.

[@simontaylor2319]

Tanks for the memory

[@garyhill2740]

Early appearance of David Fletcher in this video!

[@Emtbtoday]

The Nashorn wasn't built straight either by using the panzer 4 chassis it was a completely new chassis lengthened but the same width as the panzer 3! The Nashorn used parts from both vehicles to keep maintaining it easy. Quite alot of inaccuracies in this but it does seem quite old!

[@machstem6390]

The jagdpanther is such a sexy thang. I have a tamiya 1/32 scale model of it. Its cool

[@jimclymer4795]

They tried the best they could. They never gave up.

[@ivansmojic1285]

Until they ran out of gas... Foreshadowing is it not?

[@michaeladams9641]

I saw a few of the tanks shown here, they were at APG in MD

[@captainhurricane5705]

The debut of the Ferdinands at Kursk was not 'an unmitigated disaster'. These myths really need to be put to rest.

[@kungfuwitcher7621]

Wonder if the producers did their research but misunderstood it lol. T34 with a 75mil etc 😂😂

[@bladeobsidian2970]

27:02 The "Pillsbury Doughboy" guy has a Doctorate and yet everything is " very, very" this, "very, very" that. For the love of Pete..Please!!Expand your vocabulary in between obviously frequent meals :))

[@warrenchambers4819]

Who William Fatwater?

[@guylelanglois6642]

At 610 it looks to be a gun on a Sherman chassis

[@robertshah1056]

yep, volume way too low... of course listening to what they're saying maybe the low volume was meant to hide their ignorance... ;) I've seen so many heavy machinery "rebuilds" over the years, consisting of just a paint job, but Aberdeen still disappointed me especially with the Ferdinand...

[@sam8404]

Robert Shah volume is fine for me. You need louder speakers/headphones

[@sjoormen1]

At every Sturmgeschutz shot of vodka.

[@ouimaisnon100]

Failed: at 4:40 he says the russian T34 has a 75 mm gun, which it doesnt. It has a 76.2 mm and later upgraded to 85mm.

[@fringeelements]

Are you on TV? I didn't think so.

[@ouimaisnon100]

...what a powerful argument!!!!!

[@GeneralZkar]

you are correct and at 11:56 they say that the jagdpanzer 38t uses a 76mm gun but it dosent, it uses a 75mm Pak 39 L/48

[@Treblaine]

Brevity over pedantry.

[@silver760]

Treblaine The German 8mm Mauser is infact 7.92mm.I suppose he's pedantic about that also!

[@MegaBloggs1]

nope despite the effectiveness of the hetzer. the crews hated them because they were cramped and they sat 1-2-3 beside the gun on the left hand side

[@Emtbtoday]

They failed to put an MG in the Ferdinand the Elephant was the Upgrade with the added co aux MG 34! Small important bit of information completely missed out there about the Elephant

[@TheYeti308]

They forgot to tell the viewers that several angry German infantry were assigned to cover this type of tank so by the time the tank was disabled a lot of ivans had been culled out .

[@peterveldman9498]

Yes I read a lot of people in the comments they new everything better....

[@LumbridgeTeleport]

Literally doublespeak from the narrator talking about the Darwin theory they literally turning around and saying it doesn't matter how good the tank is it's all about the numbers lol

[@kickassandchewbubblegum639]

the stug III f/8 was a damn good tank lol..the german "light" tanks should have been a ton of panzer 3's....the m's and n's and even L's...the germans honestly learned all their good tank engineer from the czechs..they adopted a whole bunch of their models after 38.

[@chrisdrabble3586]

reading all your comments,i agree they didnt do ther homework

[@richardvangelder3666]

Atwater "FootBall Head", Jagd Tiger had the largest main gun in WWII...WTF???! Wrong! The JSU 152 had the largest gun of any tank destroyer!

[@thomaslinton5765]

Not Tanks! A "turretless tank" is like a bottomless ship.

[@kickassandchewbubblegum639]

all the comments are people saying that the tanks on some image/vid at some time in the vid are wrong lmao....anyone actually going to talk about the tank or just that they got the image wrong?

[@waynebrown616]

Sad that these vehicles languish in open air " museums "

[@cliffordnelson8454]

This must be very old video republished. Reminds me of the pure crap that often on the History Channel. Much better going to new stuff like the Tank Museum, The Chieftain, or a number of other channels. They may interview experts but producers just ruin it totally.

[@richardvangelder3666]

The Panther had a 76 mm gun???! WTF? Wrong, it was a 75 mm gun! Lame!

[@JohnMcMahon.]

German tanks have 1.9 tdi engines ?!

[@christopherburnham1612]

No some had 2 literature TDI engines🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@pudik67]

14:00 it was shown, the rail transport of jagdtiger not jagdpanther, small details but crucial. Look at the small weels and suspension it's not like a in jagdpanther ;-)

[@Brosk1s]

pudik67 they're actually Panzer IV/70(A)s, not Jagdtigers. Jagdtigers had similar size road wheels as the Jagdpanther, the Jadgtiger was just way bigger.

[@lotharweisz4020]

Donnerwetter! Dann hatte man fast alle Jagdtiger (ca. 60 Stück) auf einen Zug geladen. Sehr fahrlässig bei der Luftüberlegenheit der Amerikaner...... Trotzdem, ich sehe das genauso, sind Jagdtiger auf den Wagons.

[@peterveldman9498]

And all of those are from the US

[@Arltratlo]

no 76mm on german tanks, its 75mm....

[@mirola73]

Tanks.... Sturmgeschuetze, ehm, Sturmgeschuetze are technically no tanks. Nitpicking, but true.

[@pheinix123456789]

3D models are terrible

[@privateerbouncherparodies9141]

+pheonix028 yeah Why dont they record from War Thunder or Battlefield 2 mod (Forgotten Hope 2) XD It looks much better than thiers 3D's.

[@scoobbbbbydo]

you know how old this doco is google it

[@grahamreid1919]

Real pity about the f.....k...d audio so many of these docs the sound is shit

[@johnweerasinghe4139]

The way these Nazi lovers describe German equipment you would think the Germans won WW2. Obviously none of these Nazi/ technology lovers understand war at the Operational level so ultimately there were other more subtle factors that were more important to winning war at the Operational level. BTW the Stug 3 was not " more than a match for the T34.." because the rotating turret of the T34 ( or any tank with a rotating turret) would be superior in most situations since you had to rotate the whole Stug3 to bring its gun to bear. Sometimes I wonder if these Nazi lovers are really disappointed that Hitler lost the war...

[@gunthertoll1304]

Okay you made your point, you hate all national socialists and their toys

[@annejones597]

Please, please learn to pronounce the words. Jaeger is "Yay-gur", not "Yahger". "Nazz hirn", not "Nash-orn". "Bovvington", not "Bow-vington"

[@annejones597]

... and "Brum-bear' not 'Brumbar'

[@Primarch19th]

And, yes I am a female with a military husband, I always say that if Germany had 30-40% of the military production capabilities of the United States, things would be a LOT different at the end of 1945.

[@goldenschlong4846]

Thank God they didn’t

[@johnnieharper2221]

I may have like this video but to much trouble hearing it.
