@Eric Ferguson I too have seen credible evidence of this and I get called "conspiracy theorist" for this, lol, I'm a conspiracy realist in actuality but anyhow did you know that the world may be flat?.. Also maybe not but the truth is, is that nasa lies and has been repeatedly caught out doing so and the flat earth people have done the mathematics and physics testing and so nasa had to change some of their lies..look into it its insane but there is something about this flat earth stuff that may be correct..👍❤️👍
@Eric Ferguson Nice to see someone has studied his history...that SOB died 1/2 way around the globe from where they think he did! The Russians fell for it though.
The Germans developed a method to disable a tank with stick grenades, plural. They used 1 standard stick grenade and bundled 6 or 8 grenade heads into it, the resulting explosion can damage a tank tread easily, it was invented during ww1 and was still used during ww2.
I doubt it would do much to d8 tracks. They are made from the same steel that they use for bullet proof chest plates, sometimes even a higher grade, like hardox 600
@@webdba11 against American, British, and especially Soviet tracks because all of their iconic thin rubber / steel designs were often used they were vulnerable to these. While German tracks were always pure metal as they didn’t use rubber for treads. So yes. Those m-24 (6 head) grenades were effective if used properly.While most units had designated anti tank positions often using Pak. 40 75mm guns. Or Panzerfaust was an infantry anti tank weapon. Under most circumstances the Germans didn’t worry about armor. Most ground units were already mechanized infantry to begin with anyways. Anti tank was never a German issue.
@@goldenhawk352 excellent reply much better then "when used properly" that someone else posted... when used properly ment "run up to tank and stuffed into the mechanism". Your reply was concise and informative. Never heard of the blanket trick... lol
obviously, does not seem militairy grade at all either, the germans removed the lettering on the stick grenades which states that they have to be primed before use, also obvious due to the unweathered wood the vehicle is not something I know much about, I am pretty sure that all the non combat tracked vehicles that were taken to europe stayed there,
If it was a real grenade, he would have died trying to get that Grenade in the track. He took 6 Seconds. And real M24s explode after four and a half seconds.
Your grandpa's bulldozer just need's some batteries, diesel and starting fluid, should be ready to go. The grenade just helped break up the rust around the tracks, I think that's protocol before starting a D8
This story is something I’d expect a 5 year old to rattle off.. so far his grandfather was able to bring a bulldozer from the 60s back to America during ww2 and then he brought a grenade from China back.. absolutely remarkable
i would honestly be more impressed of he got that old tractor running, prolly worth about 100M views in its own right. You hear me? made that bad boy run and the boys got ya.
The German stick grenade was meant to be thrown to take out people in a trench or building which is why it has such a long handle. They were not made to shove into a 30mm steel track in hopes to stop a tank. But hey, who doesn’t like to see a WWII grenade grenade explode.
Saw in some history documentary..the german stick grenade is more of a stun grenade...to stun/concus an enemy..while the US grenade is sharpenel type..hence the pienapple design for it to splinter.
Its a reproduction germany never alowd pple to take grenades with them out of the country borders where heavily protected by russians or americans in the end of ww2 so its a lie or hes grandpa was secret agent James bond
Grenades weren't ment for big explosions they where ment to trow schrapnel at the enemy and since germany doesn't allow other country's to make the same grenades they had in ww2 other countries improvised with there own explosive plus the explosives from ww2 German handgrenades was very dangerous to use seeing how lightly explosive the compounds where
One of our Marine grunts asked that if he stuffed a grenade in between our tank's road wheels could he blast them off. The gunny replied that he would give him a case of grenades to stuff while he went over to the other side of the tank and peed on the road wheels....and he would rust them off before the grenades would could blast them off.
The german stick grenade was an "Offensive" weapon, meant to be thrown by assaulting troops in the open. The handle gave far better range and it killed by concussive blast in a limited radius, not a fragmentation grenade, the only fragments were from the thin casing and the handle. Defensive grenades like the American "Pineapple" grenade were designed to be thrown from under cover. They break into fragments (frags) that traveled some distance.
I wouldn't be surprised if the bulldozer track is stronger than WWII tanks. Technology changes everyday. I bet Marvin Heemeyer's Killdozer was actually stronger than any WWII tanks because WWII tanks are outdated technologies.
@@franktrinidad142 maybe it has better and tougher tracks than any WWII tanks...I wouldn't be surprise if the tracks on that bulldozer is actually tougher and stronger than tanks.
When I first discovered him I saw his vid on a k98 he said his grandpa brought it back from ww2 and I thought “wow that’s pretty cool I guess” and then after a few videos I finally got the joke 😂😂
Sticking a thicking bomb , shooting arrows at shields and almost hit him flying back , exploding safes that almost hit him with little shreds , this guy is insane
I remember seeing 2 lb charges of TNT being uses to break the suction when a dozer was stuck in muskeg. It never hurt the track a bit and usually didn't break the suction. It usually took several attempts.
As related previously,I operated a cat EXACTLY like this one,with the scarifier also, in Rockland county,ny in 1966 ( be for I became a commercial pilot,and later still, an ocean supply vessel captain ) THIS cat,although severely rusted on the blade , I have no doubt could be returned to service with perhaps miss or engine/transmission work .in doing so,it would easily have the drive sprocket free up the tracks .perhaps also,some new gaskets on the hydraulic rams and elsewhere . This machine really looks as throw it has possibilities
The stick grenade, which was the standard hand grenade of German soldiers during World War I, was designed to detonate after either a 5.5 or 7 second delay, although some exploded on contact.
Iy you stop a Tank with a German Stick Grenade you need a "Geballte Ladung" (Bundle Grenade). This is a modified Grenade built with 7 Stick Grenades. Than you can stop Tanks ;)
He could hypothetically stick it from the other side so the fuse is easier to pull, the explody bit would be under the track and he could just pull and run. Unless there’s something blocking from the other side seems like a safer way to do it
@@bradshaw1996 probably even more tougher and stronger than an actual military tank. I wouldn't be surprised if that Komatsu Killdozer's armors actually was.
@@MrOiram46 they cancelled that strategy because it was too risky. The missile might cause even more damage to the town Granby than what he already had damaged w/ his killdozer.
He assumed a 75-year-old grenade that was made to be used within a year or two of manufacture would maintain its fuse time, which isn't something I would have bet my life on.
You know for a GRENADE I was really expecting a huge explosion 💥 lol, that was like a big firecracker haha 😆...... ps thank you for risking your life for our entertainment bro! Stay safe! Love from Chandler, Arizona.
The stick grenades is an AP grenade with a small explosive charge, that can break a door, but not a tank hatch or the tracks. They were used as a pack of 5 against armour, but there are reasons why dedicated magnetic/glue anti armour charges exist. Shaped charges or thermite work better to demolish steel beams
Edwin's grandpa- I like that Caterpillar. Hitler - yes sure sir, everything is yours I'll deliver it to US my self, tell me your address Grandpa- very good 🤪🤪🤪🤭
Yeh would take more to break 1 of those treads than a tanks for dang sure! I lived near a small armory growing up and they had a tank on display out front. So i was up close and personal to it and others they had there often. We also had both a dozer and back hoe on our property that was doing some heavy work to dry out our back field. The dozen and back hoe both had much heavier treads than the tanks i seen. A tank needs to be much faster than a dozer. So some strength is sacrificed for weight savings. Also every oz saved on the treads is a oz that can be used for armor to protect those in the tank. If i was depending on one to keep me safe inside id much rather become a unmovable object than have a a grenade or round from some gun or another take me out. Least if im in it able to move or not i might live to see another day
This is not a regular grenade, but a Splittergranate. It uses metal scraps to kill soldiers, not tanks. To do so, ask your Grandpa for a Panzerabwehrgranate.
They used to tie three or so stick grenades together to knock the tracks off. A WW2 tank would have smaller mechanisms on the tracks, than a Cat, that moves mountains. A tank's armor had to take cannon rounds, so the hull was priorety, and weight was a big problem.
@Eric Ferguson They aren't originals. American have no idea about german explosive. they can't reproduce them. Drive Tanks just reproduce some , but they dont use original explosive in them, they use US explosive (wich is different as the german never shared their explosive technic ever sinze the end of WWII) and original potato smasher grenades aren't manufactured at all for many years.
His grandfather had a lot of vehicles and next thing we know his grandfather also had half of the Titanic. Also why don't you use M52 grenade to break that tracks?
That stick took like 10 seconds to explode. You can't cook it down and throw cause it could blow on you, but if you throw it, your opponent has the chance to grab it and toss it back at you before it blows. The US grenades are like 5 seconds and we were told never to cook them down, just toss them when you pull the pin and release the handle.
