Two tanks that fought against each other in the early part of World War Two. On one side, the heavily armoured French Char B1… On the other, the mobile German Panzer III. On paper it's no contest - but what actually happened when these two tanks fought it out in 1940?

I like the premise of this new series. While tank vs tank skirmishes were relatively uncommon at the start of the war, it’s always interesting to learn about specific battles when this did occur. At the point of engagement it was often the men behind the machine that made the difference over steel.

@aymonfoxc1442 5 месяцев назад

Quite right and this reality is often overlooked... no matter how many times it is laid bare before the world.

@MasterN64 5 месяцев назад

The composition shot that shows the number and location of the crew is something i have been wanting to see for a good long time. This needs to be a feature of every internal showcase of a tank because it is so much easier to see just how cramped and how it is oftentimes nearly impossible to work effectively. Stuff like the internals of the T34 with its notoriously bad crew comfort just isnt shown very well with a single guy sitting in a seat.

Unless it's Nick Moran, aka The Chieftan. He can sit in the gunner's position and almost reach and use the commander's cupola! 😁

When I first got a model of this tank I didn't think much of it but at that stage I didn't know its war history. I basically thought it was a tank made shortly after WWI that was still around when WW2 kicked off. Now I am much older and wiser and know a lot about this tank. Cheers Guys and I really love the channel.👍🇦🇺

@@kayb9979 I have the 1/76 that I made and a diecast 1/72 that I bought a few years ago. It came in a 52 series of diecast models and a booklet with the tank stats and a bit of war history. It was called the Military Vehicle series. I am working on 1/35 scale KV-5 at the moment.

@cupcakewrx3476 5 месяцев назад

Welcome Paul! I really like the style of the video and the kind of presentation. There is just one thing that a former German army officer may want to add: I think you mix up strategy and tactics. Tank deployment in confined environment of the battlefield is tactics. Strategies are used on the political level or, in a military context, in a campaign or theatre. So we're talking about higher ranking generals at least who make strategic decisions.

@BigMeechEJ25 5 месяцев назад

This new series can be something good, I enjoyed this and having an actual talk about tank comparison is refreshing. Mostly when people start comparing tanks, everyone gets dragged down into stats and it just becomes a numbers war when doing tank comparison. From research and talking to people, reality has a funny way of kicking stats in the butt and I appreciate this more nuanced approach to the comparison. Prime example that most people can probably recognize is the Jagdpanther at Munster. Multiple glancing shots from 17lbers off the front slope and a 6lber shot through the mantlet is what disabled it.

@dicebed 5 месяцев назад

Wow - I loved this episode - the most informative episode about the Char B1 and the problems it had in fighting the German tanks - I've always wanted to know what it was like fighting inside one of those things, and this episode laid it all out - it's amazing they held out as long as they did - For tank vs tank - perhaps the British at Arras with the Matilda - the first use of the M3 Lee/Grant in North Africa - similar to the Char B1, somewhat successful but soon outclassed
