The Last Tiger: Final Stand in Berlin | World War II

[@maxrpm2215]

Great, what it shows is with trained crews how good the Tiger 2 actually was.

[@felixerazo9800]

It just had a very underpowered Maybach engine.

[@MaxCroat]

It was certainly a beast, in its own separate category from anything else. But it also had significant problems. It was too heavy and the engine was severely underpowered. Really, the Panther was more than adequate and more than a match for any Allied tank, and it would have been a lot more efficient to focus production on those. But it couldn't have helped the Germans much anyways, they just didn't have the manpower, industry and resources to win the war. The only way for them to win would be if they managed to defeat the Soviets quickly like they did with western Europe.

[@MachinimaGothic]

@@roberts1711 You have to understand against who they fought, they were so desperately scared to be caught alive by soviets that they fought to the last bullet and last man. Germans always fought their way back to their own units for safety or allied units to surrender. They knew that death was better choice than being captured. Indeed own death is not worst fate. You can compare volksturm on western front and eastern front. On western front germans didnt really fight. On eastern front kids and grandfathers fought to cover retreat of civilians. I read book about Festung Elbing and descriptions were rly colorful and this wasnt even the bloodiest of sieges. I think that even now during current war ukrainians are aware that surrendering to russians is last option. Captives from Mariupol gave colorful descriptions of russian "hospitality"

Tiger 323 was abandoned by its crew near the Brandenburg Gate, on May 2nd, 1945. Tiger 323 was also NOT knocked out by the Russians, but they did take photos standing around, and on it, during the days following its abandonment.

[@robertmaybeth3434]

Closest thing to such a dramatic tale I know of, is the 1989 film "The Beast"(alternately called The beast of war). This film takes place in Afghanistan c. 1982 when a Russian formation of tanks attacks a village, then gets lost and separated from the unit, and tries to make it back to the Russian base at Kandahar on its own. But a group of Afghan muji decides to follow this tank and its crew to destroy them, which they can do because the tank has a shot out radio and is getting more damaged with every encounter with the Afghans. Best tank film ever, a lot better than "Fury" for that matter.

Happy Thanksgiving day to you all and your family. I as a American who's heritage is from Scotland/Germany & Austria, proud of the heritage but I will say that the German people would not have followed a mad man if they (the Allies) would have won with the grace, wisdom, and knowledge of what they did to the Central Powers after WW1 knowing that they were sentencing the central European nations into starvation and poverty. If they would have won with some grace and humility this destruction of people and continent wouldn't have been a history lesson of death and misery. The leaders knew what they were doing with the Treaty after the war.

[@fazole]

Wilson promised to not get America involved, then once he was reelected, he lifted the ban on banks loaning to the British and French. He gave banker JP Morgan a govt guarantee for a loan to Great Britain and France. When Russia fell, Germany was able to shift forces to the west and defeat her enemies, but the US troops were sent to guarantee that loan. Arguably, without the US helping to win the war, there would have been no AH and notsee takeover.

[@Sashulya]

It is very much true, the Diktat was horribly unfair. And it was a Diktat, a Treaty is negotiated by both sides. The Central Powers and Russia were not invited to the discussions. It was a spiteful, dictated reordering of Europe. Just look at what the "Allies" did to Russia, stealing her (and German) territory to create Poland. Nicholas II was a fool to trust them but Britain were manipulating everybody Germany, despite losing the war had achieved her strategic goals by 1918, by eliminating Russia. This ensured that there was no longer a military threat to her. A peace could easily have been negotiated in 1918. But Britain and France didn't want that, they wanted "unconditional surrender", which to the Germans meant occupation. France wanted revenge for 1870 and Britain wanted the German navy eliminated (every country in Europe who built a sizeable navy since the 1600's was attacked by Britain). Then they blamed Germany for everything with the "Guilt Clause" even though the war started in Serbia with no Germans involved As for Germany following a madman, I think most German politicians of that era would fit into that category. But I see very little difference between Hitler and Churchill, both were warmongering nutcases at the ends of long lines of warmongering nutcases. Both countries were full of them. Britain didn't gain a world-wide empire by being nice to people, but they are very good at covering their own history while pointing the finger at the "madman" over there. But they are not alone there...

The Red Army originally sent their tanks into Berlin but many were destroyed by Hitler’s fanatics who fired Panzerfausts and Panzerschrecks from hidden positions in the first floors of apartment buildings. So, the Red Army withdrew their tanks and wheeled in 155 mm Artillery which fired their shells into the first floors of those building collapsing them and burying the German soldiers. Efficient and no Soviet tank crews were in danger of being killed, although the Soviets suffered 80,000 casualties in capturing Berlin.

End of Apr 1945 the 503rd was still in Hungary, besides, there was no more 503rd at the moment since it had been renamed as Feldherrnhalle Heavy Panzer Battalion. Quoted from a comment below. The 503rd Heavy Tank Battalion was, indeed, the Feldherrnhalle Heavy Tank Battalion (FHH) and was fighting in Hungary. The German Tiger II battalion in the area was the 503rd SS Heavy Tank Battalion, an SS unit not Heer. I am somewhat surprised at this error. But then again, it wasn't an intense and dramatic event but the last gasp of the Third Reich. Fighting to the death in a hopeless cause is one thing when fighting for humanity, but quite another when fighting for an inhumane dictatorship.

Dutch ,walloons, Danes, few Balkan as Croats and Germana from Bosnia ,few Spanish actually were in Berlin,under command of a commander from Paris,the sewers is where the fiercest fights where and the opera house not many know that Also in the Baltic West Prussia or east I forget,actually fought on for three months,they had ammo to fight for half a year,but with no air force ,they mainly fought on to help refugees escape into Norway,the last planes out where from Prussia.most of which didn't make it ,but man the Baltic contingent fight was epic

The last contingent of soldiers, KriegsMariner,Luftwaffe,ss some, actually escaped about 3 days to a week after Berlin fell,they held a pocket in secrecy,while the soviets ravaged the xyz and land drunk and drugged they fired up a tiger and a panther and fought there way through northwest Berlin and escaped,the panther was knocked out midway provided covering fire,the crew escaped,and the tiger fired every round until the rest had crossed bridge only then did the commander and crew exit under help of us soldiers who were providing machine gun and artillery fire vs the soviets ,about 37-40 of people made it back out of a group of 75 , and also a bunch of women children and eldery escaped with them,it's a great story mark Felton has a video on it, crazy how Berlin fell,and almost immediately soviets and Americans traded fire isn't that wild? The flak towers actually held out for either 3 weeks or three months one of two after Berlin fell,they couldn't be destroyed only until they negotiated xyz did they give up,the bigger of which was by the Berlin zoo,the smaller one was in the northern suburbs
