Prof. Júlio, a ideia desse canal é boa, porém, não ficaria melhor levar um pouco da história do nosso país, do nosso povo, de nossos feitos militares para o público de fora? Acredito que no contexto de segunda guerra mundial, que você adora e eu também, acredito que os gringos já estão bastante saturados, por isso acredito que seria interessante apresentar o nosso lado da história militar. não acha? É isso espero não ter lhe ofendido, meus comentários são um pouco ácidos, as vezes, perdoe-me qualquer coisa, bom, foi apenas uma ideia.
The Russians should thank the USA for motorizing 2/3's of it's infantry units!! Had the USA not given those Truck to the USSR then the Western Allies would have capture Berlin.
Just a little correction , Type VII-B performances were 17 KNOTS on surface (1 knot = 1,852 km/h) and 8 knots submerged. With 17 km/h a submarine would have been as slow as a merchant ship and could now have raided against them. Nice video. Thanks.
You have to respect and admire Elvis for going into the army and doing his duty and being just a regular soldier just like everyone else all the other guys.
In the USA we never forgot the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. We supplied the Mujahideen with weapons, artillery shells & stinger missiles to attack Soviet aircraft. The US government was very concerned that the USSR would drive south to the Arabian Sea to establish a warm water port for the Soviet navy. In the end the elephant died by a thousand cuts and we helped to hand the Soviets a stinging defeat as payback for our experience in the Vietnam War.
You can bet they weren't transported form the US to the USSR on USSR ships, while Stalin complained that the allies were not doing enough, while the allies were fighting both the Germans and the Japanese while Stalin was killing as many of his own people as the Germans and was allied with the Germans till the day that Hitler attacked the USSR! I still say the allies should have let the USSR and the Germans fight it out them came in and cleaned up and freed the Soviet people fr4om Communism as well as from the NAZI's and may well have prevented the Cold War and the Russian attack on Ukraine! Russia has always been and will always been a snake in the grass and as much as a enemy to it's own people as it's enemies! Let Ukraine do unto Russia as Russia has done to Ukraine!!
Seems like a good person.Enough respect to you all.He seems to have a good sense of humour. Throughout this time you seem to have stayed strong and very disciplined.After all this ,i think you deserve a nice long rest.If there's someone to hold the fort"❤
Felicitări 😊😂 Ca militar Automobilist ,in rezervă acum, am fost si sunt interesat de toate autovehiculele militare din toate timpurile 😊😂 Mulțumim pentru acest Interesant film documentar 😂😊😊 Din păcate...,,red army,,...a Uitat sa plătească ce a primit din partea U.S.A.😢😢😢😢
WWII 2nd Admored Division: My T-sgt Dad Jack M.W. and his 6 man crew drove an M-26 Pacific Foundry tank retriever named BETTE JANE (my Mum in 48) from Omaha Beach on D-day #3 to Berlin. The 2nd's 'HELL ON WHEELS' was only US division the Red Army invited into THEIR city of total conquest.😳 The division then became President Truman's personal security. In North Africa's Morocco the 2nd became a rearguard for FDR and Churchill in Casablanca. FDR was carried across the Atlantic Ocean on the Ill fated USS Indianapolis in August 1945.😕
If speed and rapidity of supplies is the cornerstone of lighting warfare, then the supply chain must consist of large capacity vehicles with horsepower and durability to keep up with the fast advancing forces. No way real horse and mule trains are going to be the answer.
"Jimmy" something I never remember hearing, it was always (in my memory) call the "Deuce and a Half". To me the "Jimmy" and the "Duddlebug" were a motorized railway maintence vehicle (upgrade from the Hand-Car)
Chevy and Ford had truck plants in Germany before the war started so German forces used the Opel Blitz snd and Ford trucks. The US War Department decided to supply the Soviets with Studebaker trucks since their parts couldn't be used on Germany's Opels and Fords.
@@SBCBears The US felt the Soviets would lose a lot of transport trucks to the advancing Germans while our guys wouldn't since they would be the ones advancing.
Even today there's great debate on if lend lease was critical to Russian WW2 success, however Stalin said it was on camera! Railroad engines, (138) and 14 million boots may have been critical along with truck's! Logistics, logistics, logistics! Napoleon said won wars! He kinda ignored it when attacking Moscow, losing +90% of his army!
Prime movers towed artillery and trailers holding tanks. The US Army converted obsolete M3's into prime movers by removing the turret, main gun and ammo racks. Those towed the giant 240 & 155 howitzers while carrying tools, spare parts, the guns maintenance crew and general supplies for themselves.
Great video. I was lucky to drive one of those trucks it was a armored scout vehicle converted into what we called a farm hand . They revered the stearing and seat.. It was then like a Fork lift. It was used for lifting Hay to the loft of the barn we used it as a mobile work platform building log home's. Farm and Ranch people are very creative with surplus. You should do a show on it. Many Willis jeeps were sold that way and German Vehicles aswell
