We visited the German Tank Museum (in Munster, not Münster) and talked to the director Ralf Raths about the German tanks in World War 1. The only one that saw action was the A7V and will find out how it was designed, how up to 23 men fit inside one of these and what the operational history was.

That's nuts. Inside that tank you had the crew, the driver, the commander, the pigeon guy, his replacement, the replacement pigeons, a man in a pigeon costume, a spare costume, the tank commander's mother in law, an Oompah band, a master brewer, a beer maiden, a Festmaster, a Frau, a replacement Frau, and the Festmaster's mother in law.

The A7V is in Brisbane Australia. It is name Mephisto. In 2011 it was moved to avoid being caught in floods and underwent an long and detailed restoration at the railway workshops. They are the same people who restore and maintain our old historic steam engines. It is back at the Queensland museum near the centre of Brisbane and is free to view.

The tank which still exists in Australia is called “Mephisto”. It was captured by an Australian unit and sent back to Brisbane, Australia. For a long time it was displayed outside the Brisbane museum. I remember staring at it as a kid thinking “that doesn’t look anything like a tank 🤔” LOL. It’s now in a different museum somewhere in Australia.

The point about German paying the license for the "Caterpillar" type tracks leads to the interesting subject of war time trade between enemies. Throughout WW1, the British supplied rubber to Germany (from its sources in the empire), and Germany supplied Optical lenses and other military goods to the UK. It was usually (but not always) traded via a Swiss intermediary, but both governments knew that the goods supplied would be used for military purposes against them. As you said - Capitalism does not stop for war.

A long but wonderfully informative video. The German tank seemed to have only a few flaws. Less than most WWI.

It sounds fascinating.
@crash-testproductions9341
@crash-testproductions9341 Год назад
They nearly created the K Wagen, a fortress of steel with 4 canons and 7 machineguns. Too bad the thing was so heavy it had to be transported in 30 tons packages, be assembled near the front and then only it would SLOWLY run to the battlefield to see some action. But the thing is : they couldn't create more. The main reason they had so few tanks was because of how little resources they had due to the blockades around them. An alternate history in which they had more tanks would have mean no blockades, and so a totally different battlefield, history and everything from the World War we knew. So it would be less an alternate history and more of an alternate universe.

Also, command would insist on 2 gus hired, because specifications call for pidgeons to be handled and a light to be operated, so these are clearly 2 different jobs, so logically, 2 guys get hired. You cant hire 1 guy for 2 job descriptions. That´s just not how it works. This is public service after all, and besides, we´ve never done that, so? ;-) ;-)

Indeed we have the only surviving A7 in the world here in Brisbane, Australia. Named "Mephisto", this beast of war has enthralled many visitors to the museum ( especially when they had it sitting next to a replica T-Rex dinosaur ). Thanks TGW and thanks Munster.

Gidday, the tank they are talking about us "Mephisto". It sat in the open in the gardens of the old Brisbane Museum until the 1980's. As a child, I climbed onto this tank many times. It now resides at the Australian War Museum, after being conserved at the Ipswich railway workshops. They left the battle damage untouched.

@Raptor747
@Raptor747 6 лет назад
...kind of. The A7V was a really badly designed tank, overall. It was very bad at traversing trenches or rough ground (due to its small, short, and narrow tracks), it was overweight for its role, and it was larger and heavier than it needed to be. It was also too expensive to make more than a handful of. By contrast, the Mark V and RT-17 (IIRC, can't recall what its exact name was) were simpler, cheaper, better at traversing trenches and rough terrain, and didn't have a stupidly large crew. Notably, the Mark V had two cannons, too, while the RT-17 had a rully rotating turret-mounted cannon.
@bencejuhasz6459
@bencejuhasz6459 6 лет назад
The A7V was overall a better machine,and more ergonomic than it's British counterparts. But the lack of trench crossing capability and high center of mass made it unsuitable for the typical Western Front battlefield of the 1st World War.And that's quite a drawback.

Man! It's amazing to think that tanks really haven't changed that much. They still have to be transported by rail. That's a lot of fun. I can't tell you how many times I've crossed Germany by rail with our tracks. They still get stuck in the mud. They still outrun the infantry, artillery ,support, and occasionally they accidentally fire on their own troops. That last one happens more often than you think.
