Greatest Tank Battles of History | Season 1 | Episode 6 | The Battle of the Bulge: SS Panzer Attack! 

It still gets shown from time to time on "american heroes channel" or else military channel. The only doc series better than GTB would have to be Dogfights. I think Dogfights is the best war documentary series of all time. The only other that comes even close is "The Vietnam War" 10 part series by Ken Burns.

I went ahead and got all the episodes downloaded just in case they get taken down again.

The sound is the original broadcast from years ago

I have found that the vids of this series at Breakthrough Entertainment has better sound. It also has Closed Captions. They are missing some episodes there though.

Part of the original broadcast, meaning you can't

go through the channel youl find it

Disagree feeling like no music takes away from it makes it bland

It isn't added by the uploader, this is how it aires on the history Channel, the audio is just out of wack for some reason

Your crazy lol

The low velocity gun was intended for infantry support

My dude, this is an old show from years ago

Still lost the war though, so…. no.

Actually American tank destroyers had 90 mm guns which helped stop the lead units just past Stoumont. Also American 155 mm artillery was second to none. American ranks were faster and also had a faster rate of fire plus a faster turret swing to bring to bear. More mechanically reliable as well.

@@paulbriggs3072 let’s not forget logistically and numerically superior.

54k shermans vs 1,3k tigers 6k panthers Less than 500 tiger 2 Quantity vs quality

@@tomygun7532 yea a big overwhelming pile of 💩 vs a small amount of great tanks. Wonder how many American boys died needlessly because of this “philosophy.” 🙄

Yank Propaganda, the German Panzer’s runout of petrol lol. He should try the battle of Kursk .

@@tomygun7532yes a very big pile of 💩vs quality.

@@valar7568 sherman was no match for big cats for sure. Same for T-34 One is really bad but a swarm of 150 of them in one wave is devastating Total Air and logistical superiority also helped.

Were you there? Idk, if Leach & Abrams says there were Tigers interspersed among among a greater number of Panzers I would tend to take their word for it. Just like the tactics of firing smoke rounds so the Sherman's could flank the German Tanks & knock them out firing on the German more vulnerable side armor. And to those asking how we won the war with an inferior tank. The Sherman was the Superior tank in Africa but the Germans had upgraded immediately following the defeats in Africa. Therefore the much more numerous Sherman's used tactical advantages as I previously stated & the fact that the Sherman's outnumbered the larger German tanks about 10-1. Plus the Allies had already upgraded the Sherman's as well with a 76mm gun that would penetrate the front armor of the German tanks & the Allies also having air superiority took out many German tanks from the air. The Thunderbolts & Mustangs wreaking havoc on the German tanks, trains & interstructure. That's another thing people don't realize about the war in Europe. For almost a century trains had been used to move troops & equipment ie: artillery & ammo and such to get to where it was needed most at the frontlines. And the intervention of air superiority ment that the Allies could damage or destroy such trains so that troops & equipment would have to find other ways to the front. And Germany being confined in Europe & battling Russia on one front was hard pressed to logistically support another front on the other side of Europe. That's why IMHO, that Hitler was a complete idiot for attacking Russia when Russia was actually protecting its largest land border. AND Germany was already at war with Great Britain. Carrying out Barbarosa & then declaring war on the US after Pearl Harbor imho just shows how completely mad Hitler must have been. Germany already couldn't defeat Great Britain, so it decided to declare war on the US, & invade Russia. I will go so far to say that if Germany was not already at war with the US, UK & the Allied forces that it may have been able to defeat Russia. Or at least take about half of Russia's lands & propose a peace agreement. Which Stalin may have agreed to. But Hitler WAS SO CRAZY HE WANTED TO TAKE OVER THE ENTIRE WORLD WHEN HE CAN'T EVEN RULE THE WHOLE OF EUROPE. But he did come close to ruling all of Europe. Evidently having all of Germany bow to him made his head swell up like a huge pumpkin. Poor stupid fool. Or maybe he was truly the Anti-Christ & we were just lucky enough to defeat him this time around!!!

@@kennethdeanmiller7324 A typical unqualified "because we won the war" answer... Tiger Tanks were organized in heavy tank battailons. There were 3 of them in the Ardennes - all of them were equipped with Tiger II. But to Americans, every tank was a Tiger...and the Mustangs knocked them out by thousands, only with their machine guns...

No one against ?
