As a service technician, I can say with full responsibility that working in the field is one of the most difficult, especially if it is raining or freezing.

@cranfordsnorkus6558 16 дней назад

It's true. And thanks for not saying something like 'my old next door neighbors great uncle knew a guy who was a volkswagon mechanic in 1946'

@bastiaan7777777 15 дней назад

Imagine having to repair a damaged tank with all the gore inside... Those mechanics had to clean those out also... Not many people know or talk about it.

@ReaperRestorations 17 дней назад

as a military aircraft mechanic this video really hits home. nobody realizes all the work that goes on behind the scenes just to get things airborne.

@JohnSmith-ei2pz 17 дней назад

So many hours spent maintaining a/c, so few flying!

@tempest411 6 дней назад

I'm not in the business, but some of the numbers I've heard with regard for operational vs. maintence time is staggering. Especially for helicopters! I wanna say some aircraft require ten hours of maintenance for every hour in the air. It leaves me wondering how some of these things are even considered practical designs.

My great uncle Berthold Kaufmann led the I-staffel of the 7th Panzer Division in Russia. He escaped the Kurland pocket and was ferried to Denmark. He had many incredible stories of his war experiences and could still adjust the carburetor of my car in the 1980's. Ruhe in Frieden lieber Bertold !

As a modeler who has built some of these tanks, I liked the freehand paint jobs. Now I don’t feel so bad!

@truthboomertruthbomber5125 17 дней назад

Many vehicles they recovered and repaired had the gruesome remains of the deceased crew members still in the vehicle. So it just wasn’t mechanical work they had to do. The crew spaces would have to be cleaned and sanitized and refinished before the vehicle could be placed back in service with a new crew.

@bastiaan7777777 15 дней назад

@tankwright5489 17 дней назад

Great Video, interesting and rare photos of a true "Wunder" Worker! These crews recovered and repaired numerous tanks, especially Tigers, putting them right back into combat AND they did it under battlefield conditions and often at night! Incredible!

@marknewman2187 21 день назад

Great video about a branch of the military who don't get the recognition they deserve , often working under indirect fire and sometimes facing CQC situations later in the war on the eastern front when thee front would be penetrated by Russian tanks with infantry support , amazing what they achieved , real heroes.

The First Panzer Army apparently lost 33 Werkstattkraftwagons (Mobile Panzer Workshop Vans) in the Kemenets-Podolskiy Offensive in March-April 1944. Quite handy vehicles to hold on to and probably more valuable than older-model panzers in the long run because of the specialist tools they have inside them. They also lost 16 wheeled Drehkrankraftwagons ( Panzer Tow Trucks) and 6 tracked ones of relatively the same type according to the Wikipedia page.

@Slaktrax 20 дней назад

The Sd.Kfz 9 (Famo) was the best half-track. Would love to own one.

With the invasion of USSR June 22, 1941, the German army used equipment from 10 nations. Maintenance was a logistical nightmare, doomed repairs, with ultimate battlefield losses.

@alanritchie7902 7 дней назад

Thank you for this wonderful video with actual film footage of work being carried out behind the scenes on these incredible machines, for that era, when you think the horse was the main go to source of power back then , so often in life the work that goes on in the background is not recognised or appreciated, let alone recorded.

Über die wirkungsvolle Arbeit der Instandsetzungseinheiten der Wehrmacht findet man nur wenige Beiträge. Dabei waren es gerade diese, die der Wehrmacht diesen Bewegungskrieg erst ermöglichten. Die Männer der Instandsetzung haben vermutlich nur wenige Auszeichnungen bekommen, die sie aber zweifellos mehr als verdient hätten.

At 3:09 , this man seems to be Hauptmann Albert Ernst, schwere Panzerjägerabteilung 519. on April 16 1945 he formally surrenderd to the Americans in the City of Iserlohn ,handed over his unit and thereby prevented the complete destruction of the city

WOOOOW, i just expected any materials about those german army HEROES, they were really WIZZARDS which did impossible tasks in impossible conditions of work. I would be amazed to watch an interview with one of those which repaired tanks (mostly engines) and airplanes in proximity of the FRONT line.

@zk1919 16 дней назад

Could ,you @WarHistory, also cover other "heroic" maintenance work of German mechanics? Perhaps about mobile gas chambers trucks and buses that were so heavily used that needed hyper care. I'm sure that some fanboys will also call overworked German mechanics as "HEROES" - they worked so hard in such harsh for Ubermensch conditions all over occupied Europe. 3 gas chamber trucks (2 Diamonds, 1 Sauer), between December 1941 and early June 1942 killed 90 000 people - those trucks must have been well maintained, don't you think @WarHistory? P.S.1 Warning: Sarcasm detected P.S. 2 As military historian focused on German Army, WarHistory is fully aware that Wehrmacht was responsible for "logistical" suport for all Eisatzgruppe.

@TheNextGoogification 5 дней назад

I saw a video a while ago of an American tank repair crew. They said they looked at what the Germans had, and they say that the Americans had way more, and the Germans didn't really have what was sufficient to do what they needed to do in the field. Did anybody else hear the same thing? Could someone elaborate?

@Kaisan-vc8fw 19 дней назад

In any WW2 army the hardest working people were the tank recovery and tank mechanic guys. All WW2 tanks were hugely unreliable, so the recovery/mechanic guys really had their work cut out.

Das ist Richtig, das auch die Panzerbesatzungen, den Indstandsetungspersonal, bei der Reparatur Unterstützten. Die Panzerbesatzungen wurden ebenfalls zu den Panzerfabricken geschickt, um dort eine Einweisung auf das Gerät zu bekommen, und sogar bei der Produktion der Panzer, für eine gewisse Zeit, teilzunehmen.

tbh i dont care if we were the baddies in terms of the war alone. Those guys really performed a miracle with what they had, absolute bonkers going against two superpowers with an industry unmatched and still somewhat dominate. But its sad what they did in the countries they conquered or even in our own borders. the holocaust and many other atrocities were totally uneccesary
