WW2 Documentary - How to Disable a Japanese Tank

[@massimookissed1023]

How to disable a Japanese tank: 1) Casually stroll up to Japanese tank. 2) Push Japanese tank over on to its side.

[@sword6381]

japanese tanks may be that light, but they arnt that light

[@LeeRaldar]

1) Place pieces of sushi close to the tank vents to tempt the crew out. 2) Shoot the crew when they go for the sushi trap.

Ordinance department studies it, then laughs themselves into unconsciousness.

"3 men, Japanese size"

[@stephenremillard]

This is a very interesting piece of war history. The complete lack of P.C. had me cracking up because a citizen couldn't say half the stuff said in these videos, much less a video made by Uncle Sam.

[@cryohellinc]

Love the subtle sarcasm in those documentaries. :) Amazing stuff, thank you!

After playing so much Fallout, I find myself interested in watching these old reel films.

The Ha-Go was actually a nifty little tank, it emerged ready for the war with China when the Chinese only had a few panzers (4’s?) and old renaults (which is what they got based off of initially) ideal for an infantry support light tank especially in urban combat. There is a button on the back, made to look like a rivet, that the infantry could push and it set an alarm in the turret telling the commander he needed to listen to the infantry’s instruction. Sadly not up to much later on in the war - but they were pretty formidable despite the size. You could also jam a knife or bayonet between the turret and chassis and it stops the turret from turning. The rear machine gun was at the 5 o’clock so once the turret turns, a corner is exposed. Stick a knife between and it’s stuck fast.

[@Espanyol_Espaghetti]

And soon enough, we'll be referring Chinese size too. Lol

[@strong6574]

Quadruplet bazooka lol These guys are geniuses, the make shift weaponry reminds me of Fallout.

[@robertodeleon-gonzalez9844]

Excuse me, but the sole Japanese tank portrayed seems to be a light tank. There were other Japanese models, especially medium tanks, which would require different tactics in order to disable or defeat them. One such model was the type 98 ShinHo To Chi-Ha, which required a crew of 5; though inferior to contemporary American and Soviet tanks, according to my research it at least had a fighting chance, especially if used in an ambush or by attacking the lighter armor in the sides or back of the turret.

[@j3lny425]

Good point. It's like comparing a Sherman to a Panzer 1. No contest

[@robertodeleon-gonzalez9844]

The problem for a Japanese soldier needing a medium tank in WWII is that, outside of Japan proper, there were very few or none. Last thing I read on the matter seems to be that light tanks were the norm in the lands conquered by the Japanese Empire - while medium tanks were confined to Japan itself, in the event of an invasion.

[@nitromatt37gaming52]

let's see how to disable a ww2 Japanese tank? well shoot it anywhere use caliber 37mm and up, and that's how u disable it!

[@lucastuart3105]

This is WW2, and just keep in mind people may not have a 37mm just lying around.

[@janflorovic5880]

+Luca Stuart it was originally designed in 1933 as infantry support tank which was cheap, easy to produce in large numbers which were to be used against ill equipped Chinese. It can deal with US light tanks like Chaffee and Stuart's but not against a decade newer design line Sherman.

[@julsvideogame8369]

I have also heard that any slight change in the wind speed can disable any Japanese tank.

[@i_nameless_i-jgsdf]

yes, they want to teach their men how to fight something in the situation where they do not have any anti-tank weapon. He never said how to destroy the tank just how to ''disable'' it, meaning how to make the tank become useless and either forcing the crew to come out and abandon it, or retreat.

[@scootergeorge9576]

1:15 .37 caliber? That's a 37 mm gun.

[@LymarkW]

Now, all I need is a Japanese Tank.

[@___axg96___63]

9:52 is that an M8 Stuart?

[@ichhabkeinname7352]

[@yooe6513]

How to disable a Japanese tank: just cough on it I guess.

[@endutubecensorship]

I wish I grew up on the 1950s. A lot less bull$hit and being able to know those that sacrificed so much, so the son of an immigrant has a chance. Lest we forget

[@i_nameless_i-jgsdf]

they do be more impressed if the chi-he, chi-nu and chi-to ever used in combat.

[@inguspodnieks9028]

At 2.29 what anime whas that? Thanks in advance

[@Justin-hm4xu]

at 7.15 the bazooka barrel bursts

[@dragonskizi7681]

Japanese size?! XD PFFFTTTT!!!!!

[@ihateyoutube6120]

step 1.use the heavy machine gun

[@greyskyfrozen6645]

the reason why the Japanese Imperial Army came out with such light tank model is because the East and South Asia campaign was basically held in the dense forest with muddy roads... it would not be practical at all if heavy tanks being used - it would stuck in the mud and this is the reason why Hitler's famed Panzer failed at Russia.. if Hitler had only used these Japanese tanks, he wud had conquered Russia...

[@anthonysalgado5118]

As bad as they might have been they gave the British and Americans a hell of a supprise when they came out fo the jungle where Westerners said tanks cant opperate. The Brits for all got clobberd at Singapore by Japanese tanks. They might not have had quality tanks but they had the gumption to fight.

[@robmiller1808]

The British didn't have tanks in Singapore, most of their military equipment was being used for their survival against Germany or in supporting Russia. The Japanese were great when they were attacking unprepared or defenceless people but the tide soon changed.

[@cg462]

You could throw pies at it maybe

[@nobbytakechanman]

I am japanese. I`m very interested in your video,thank you very much. I`d like to know the american tank that was faster than the japanese one in this video. I ever read a book written by shiba ryoutarou who was tank crew in WW2. He filed a corner of tarret of his tank, and could file off of it then. He was very surprised and disapointed the army.

[@nobbytakechanman]

Thank you Kumpelblase of your information. Very helpful for me.!

[@spapi3880]

+nobby takechanman have you ever been to a university in the US? My brother in law had a close friend named Nobby in college. Don't be disappointed, the Japanese were very brave and fierce fighters in ww2.

[@nobbytakechanman]

+S Papi I hardly any visited US except for business trip to Chicago once. So the nobby you indicate must be another one. thank you.

[@robmiller1808]

@@spapi3880 They also attacked defenceless people, were cruel and sadistic, and hated in asia.

[@peterzebot1795]

How cute, what do they look like when they are grown up?

[@joshuacarrasquillo9785]

Ahh simpler times!

[@nicktumia5078]

When America had no excuses!

[@StormLaker]

How to disable a Japanese tank- throw a rock at it it will destroy it. The end.

[@respectpipemacerel4914]

why does every American announced from ww2 sound the same?

[@cameronnedland410]

+respectpipe macerel It honestly might be the same guy, who knows.

[@respectpipemacerel4914]

Cameron Nedland I think it is. He sounded exactly like the guy on the ivy Mike video.

[@rickautry2759]

+Cameron Nedland Dude probably has seen too many episodes of Kojak and thought that Brooklynese was how we all talked!

[@deadcrazymonkey]

the way they recorded it is what makes them sound alike

[@robertgary3561]

respectpipe macerel it's an "accent" called American Brahman. It's intended to be location ambiguous and to be clear with low quality audio recording.

[@wildweasel3001]

Did they just say Japanese size 🤣. You couldn't say that these days

[@trabacher]

Americans won the war from Japaneese to have the right to pay contributions to israel :)))) what a trick of the history

[@justdothevoice]

Uncle Sam, excuse please...

[@Geebeey]

Whoa, that commentator talks a lot of propaganda crap

[@helmyabdullah1962]

Fascism doesn't pay ? So is capitalism but so far capitalism is supreme and winning everywhere . Maybe love , kindness and charity is the best counterweight against capitalism but their numbers are few and far between .
