Evolution of German Tanks | Animated History 

tANKS ARE COOL

Yes

*Sad Sherman Noises*

I would like to see something like evolution of fighters or bombers

I lov German tanks

I mean,we were buddies before Japanese have to become the third wheel.

"Hey Adolf my generals are giving me reports of Stahlhelm wearing Chinese troops. You wouldn't have any clue about that?" "Mhmm"

It’s interesting how the Chinese were trained and equipped by the Germans around the 1930’s before WW2 yet the Chinese were invaded so easily by the Japanese, does that mean Japanese doctrine is superior to German doctrine? Probably not but can people please tell me why the Japanese managte to conquer Almost half of China but fail to conquer India?

@@razr-x9666 Only very few Chinese Units we're actually trained and equipped by the Germans and these units usually performed very well against the Japanese, there were just not enough of them to make a big difference in the war. An example of such a unit would be the 88th division of the Chinese nationalist army.

@@razr-x9666 the japanese didn't invade china at ease in fact it was the exact opposite, the chinese despite being considered poorly-equipped by europe's militaries were able to repel offensives launched by the japanese thanks to a people's war and protracted war being waged instead of favoring pitched battles and frontal assaults, only japanese propaganda says otherwise.

Germany lost because they didn't angle

Yes, I agree with you. But I also realized, that so much technology potencial was destroyed during war, scientists were killed, factories were bombed, and those who weren't were producing tanks instead of cars, poisons instead of medicines. If someone says (not you), that wars gave us technology, it is partly true. Yes, we gained some technologies due to war, but the number technologies we lost is even higher.

That's a Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus And then The Prototype Failed Because it's Have 180ton to Slow Speed 20km/h

Yeah and the soviet captured it

Isnt it panzer VII? Lowe

@@NotAreaSP The VIII is highly misleading. Like other super heavy tanks this was just a concept prototype. The program was terminated and its equivalent in the E-series development which was the actual plan for future tanks in the Wehrmacht was scrapped as well. So it never was Panzer VIII. The other misleading part is the implication that the Wehrmacht went with super heavy tank craze when those heavy tanks were dedicated for particular roles, in the case of Tiger I before WW2 even started. Their equivalent in the Soviet army were the KV series and IS series and just like them they were never intended to replace all tanks, but be the spearheads in offensives. The problem for Germany: After 1942 they were never again on the offensive so those tanks were used outside their mission spectrum. And even the denial of still building them can be explained: The entire German military doctrine for centuries was pretty clear that you needed to bring down the enemy you need to go on the offensive... otherwise you lose the war... because German geography is crap for defense... oh dear... oh dear.

Why would you bother to try to change the engine block on a car?

@@LyvlonLP If the engine is broken?

@@LyvlonLP 9 times out of 10 if a car suffers a no-worky without crashing into anything, the issue is in the engine or drivetrain. Being able to swap engines means you can keep the actual car running for decades, and just swap engines whenever it breaks. This, in theory, means that instead of having to build 1000 new humvees each year to replace attrition, you only need to build 100 humvees and 900 humvee engines. Unfortunately, nowadays consumer cars are designed to be "single use," even though most broken down cars that haven't been totalled in an accident could easily function with a new engine. It's kind of crazy when you think about it, we literally throw away an entire car because a part or two in the engine doesn't work, simply because it's cheaper and easier to buy an entire new identical car than fix the one or two items that broke. It's that hard to replace an engine in a car, that in most cases it just makes more sense to buy an entire new car. The comparison in the original comment isn't a very good one though, since the engines are VERY different. One is a turbine, the other is a regular combustion engine. Comparing the two when it comes to replacement times is like comparing the time it takes to replace an aircraft propeller with the time it takes to replace a boat propeller. They are similar, but have a lot of major differences, it's an "apples to oranges" comparison.

@@feivellazuardi1867 it’s not such a big surprise it’s welding was poor. Germany was losing the war by the time the King Tiger entered production, so I’m guessing production of King Tigers had to be rushed and they were sent off to the front as quickly as possible.

@@Markok1911 Centurion also

@@crumpetcommandos779 best tonk of the 1950s.

Same for all WW2 tanks, the Tigers reliably issues are overly exaggerated.

I wouldn't say that they are espacially over exaggerated. The Tiger tank wasn't designed to be easy to maintain or cheap to repair. It was designed to be a breakthrough tank. Basically being deployed where the enemy is especially stubborn, breaking through their defenses and going back to the next depot where they would have the time, space and resources to be fixed properly. After all germany would be on the offense, taking land and could decide where and when to advance. The role it was pressed into was very different with the Wehrmacht being on the defense, losing ground and being short on supplies, where the shortcomings started to be more noticable. I.e. you couldn't just recover vehicles that broke down, due to an overheated engine or failing transmission, during an fight right after, since the ground they fought on would be lost to the advancing enemy (soviets or allies) and they have a bit of a problem with an german tank towing truck just driving through their lines, recovering a 60t vehicle and towing it back to a german depot. Oh and on a side note: german tanks where notriously difficult to repair, my favorite example would be when the transmission on a Panzer III needs to be exchanged. Step 1: get some cranes. Step 2: REMOVE THE TURRET OF THE TANK Step 3: Losen some easy to excess bolts Step 4: REMOVE THE UPPER HALF OF THE HULL Saw some pictures of that process and it was a very interesting sight.

@@Hunter4042012 I never said allied vehicles were more reliable (even tho most were), it’s a joke, and I honestly don’t care what you think

@@lucky_x8367 Although certain German tanks were difficult to repair, this isn't true across the board, the Panzer 4 was easy to repair, and even the more troublesome vehicles like the Panther and Tiger could be easily repaired depending on what was broken, engine replacement on the big cats for example was easy.
