Thanks so much for uploading this. Loved watching this show back in the early 90s.

I love these documentaries they're historic artifacts themselves in the way they show previous authodoxy in millitary history.

[@alantrail7662]

Love these older shows!

[@jamesemge3014]

Great respect for the old boy that was in WW1 tank crew. My grandfather made it through WW1, from what i can remember he spoke of what he went through.

General Patton (George C Scott) hosting this episode. Ironic!

[@cubismo85]

Kind of interesting how the US. Army got the new M1 Abrams during Desert Storm, while the USMC had to carry on with the 30-year older M60 'Patton.

19:59 - It is possible, even likely, that this interview was made before the full scope of the importance of Station X, the British Industrial Scale Code Breaking at Bletchley Park was made public. But the reason for Rommel's Defeat in Africa is completely down to this herculean effort to break into the German's ENIGMA and LORENZ Ciphers. Erwin Rommel told his son, Manfred Rommel that he was certain that his supply problems was down to spies in the harbors in Italy, where the bulk of his supplies were shipped from. The Germans thought it absolutely impossible to break the Enigma. And they were right in being confident. The possible combinations an Enigma Machine can produce is absolutely astronomical. But the British, building on the successes of the Polish Cipher School before Poland was invaded invented several Electro-mechanical and Electronic Computers, including the World's first Programmable Computer. The Computer Age was in fact invented at Bletchley. With careful use of the deciphered German Radio Traffic, so as not to give away the fact that they had broken the "unbreakable" cipher, the British could carefully deprive just the right ships supplying Rommel's Afrika Korps so as to strangle him of the most vital supplies. It was devilishly effective. So, the argument that it was the length of Rommel's supply lines doesn't fit for two reasons: 1) The deciphering of German Radio Traffic by Station X at Bletchley and the subsequent sinking of vital war materiel. 2) The British and American Supply Lines were even longer. Rommel could shift materiel from factories in Germany and occupied Europe on railway lines to Italy and hop it across the Mediterranean to North Africa. The British had to sail much of their supplies from the home islands. The Americans had an even bigger problem. They first had to ship their supply to Britain, to be reloaded onto ships bound for North Africa, or in some cases sail their supplies from the United States across the U-boat infested Atlantic directly to North Africa. So, the argument is mute, even if the interview was made before Bletchley Park's War Winning Operation was made public. Prime Minister Winston Churchill gave Bletchley Park the highest priority from the beginning, at a stage when high ranking British Officers right out blocked Bletchley's work, because they couldn't see the possibilities that lay in the operation. Churchill would later refer to the boffins at Bletchley and this Paradigm Shift in Computing as “The Goose that lay the Golden Egg”.

A pity there was no mention made of the Sherman Firefly which allowed the Sherman to duel with Axis armour on advantageous terms. Great documentary, thanks so much.

[@cubismo85]

only some 2000 made, they eased up the front for the allies, but not much more.

[@Pop_Hockenbush]

Father in law drove a light tank for Patton in n Africa and Italy . Deadly job .

[@larsdejong7396]

"Blitzkrieg proved that superior tactics can win, even against superior weapons." Is he seriously suggesting that the Germans invented TACTICS? Tactics have existed ever since mankind decided to slaughter one another. The invention of the tank itself lead to a dozen few theories involving tank tactics. I knew beforehand that an old documentary about tanks is going to involve a dozen of misconceptions about the battle of France, and the so-called blitzkrieg "tactic", but this is utterly ridiculous. (wich wasn't a tactic, it was a lucky turn of events. Hitler coined the term blitzkrieg afterwards to boast that he had in fact contemplated all of this from the very beginning, but that was a lie. And it wouldn't have worked against a skilled opponent who didn't send his entire armored reserve into battle immediately)

[@jonomasonILoveU]

I love history.😁

[@Pop_Hockenbush]

The Sherman was a death trap.

[@camrenwick]

The best tank of its time was the British Centurion IMO

[@mikes7639]

Some of the best videos ❤
