And what about all those U Boats Mr. Hitler? Ohhh those things, well they ain't U Boats they're My Boats

Because in Soviet Russia, tractors have cannon Edit: you got to watch out for the bears

I believe Tamiya do a Panzer 1 kit.

@@thetankmuseum Haha! But I won't fit in one of those!

Tamiya do. And Hobby Boss.

@@baz6128 HAHAHA! I'm talking about a real meat grinder.

Ammo has done a 1/16 kit which is nice

Japan and Germany: Not so nice

I took a dump longer then that

Never noticed that....well done, Tank Fellows.

@@jermasus My Emperor! It's good to see you again!

If only he had awesome enough facial hair to compete with David Fletcher it would be perfect!

I used to have to clean out the bins for all the fish on a commercial fishing boat so I have some idea what the inside of that tank must have looked (and smelled ) like.

Scrape the nazis off the walls...

It's entirely possible though that the tank was already abandoned due to being damaged or running out of fuel (a constant occurrence for the Afrika Korps) and that a passing British tank put a couple of rounds in it just in case. (All tankers were in the habit of doing this - if it looks in the least bit threatening, put a couple of rounds in it just in case)

​@@StripedbottomNo, it was knocked out whilst in action.

Where are you at that has trams?

@Breezy Mods ?

Do you always go home as the day starts ?

@@neddyladdy I don't understand your comment? I commented about 5pm uk time so definitely home time.

@AstronomyToday In those days and with the experience of WWI in mind this was to be preferred above a muddy trench with no protective armour plating at all. Also there were no real anti-tank weapons in those early days, besides other tanks. No bazookas, Piats, RPGs or other Panzerschrecks. Let alone A-10s and attack helicopters.

@@flitsertheo it's really uninformed to say that there were no AT weapons at the time, there had been tankgewehr and similar high caliber ballistic arms since ww1, and direct fire field gun/artillery existed and was extremely effective. Tanks as a counter to other tanks wasn't really doctrine until into ww2, they were meant more for infantry support and fortified position assault.

@@flitsertheo "Also there were no real anti-tank weapons in those early days, besides other tanks." Incorrect. No one's doctrine called for tanks to fight other tanks (well besides the Brit who thought the tanks would do everything). That was the artillery's job. Tanks were designed to penetrate a defense and then run around and shoot up the enemies rear areas and infantry. And there were plenty of AT guns. They were just small of scale because the tanks were small scale in the pre-war years. AT rifles and the 37mm AT gun was considered "heavy".

Lol

;)

Its underrated because it sucks Nothing Impressive about a panzer 1

@Jordan Hardesty So your Claiming that panzer 1 was a decent tank and that it wasn't replaced because of its lack of armor and fire power

@Jordan Hardesty operations with barely any resistance

@Jordan HardestyPanzer 1 and 2 sucked dude the were only succesfully used agianst countries with outdated tanks like Poland and Holland and belgium And all were suprise attack

Sounds like a good setup!

What did they have, pea shooters?

I think atleast one panzer 1 was defeated and maybe a neubaufahrzeug ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Norway fell mostly due to the German airforce and parachute infantry.

Norway mobilized 52,000 troops, Denmark just 14,000. Finland had similar population and was able to mobilize 300,000 during the Winter War and WWII. Complete failure of leadership to provide their people the means to defend themselves.

@@EmergencyChannel Finland actually mobilized more like 500,000 for the latter part of the war. But to be fair to Denmark and Norway, the build-up in tension between Finland and Soviet Union was much more gradual and long-drawn than between Denmark/Norway and Germany (and Britain, on the one hand). Finland had already almost fully mobilized more than a month before the Soviet attack, under the guise of extraordinary military maneuvers and other such measures, and the invasion only took place after the breakdown of negotiations that lasted about the same time. In the case of Denmark/Norway it was much more of a surprise attack, with Germany only making diplomatic advances immediately after they had already invaded, and the two Scandinavian countries hoping til the last to be able to remain neutral in the conflict and avoid mobilization so as not to invite a pre-emptive strike because of it. And, as we know, Sweden actually did succeed in a similar policy, and ended up one of the few European countries that managed to avoid the horrors of WW2 almost completely. I'm not too familiar with the mobilization effort in Denmark, but in Norway it was almost wholly ineffective though. I think they must have looked too much at the example of Finland and too little at Poland, and not realize that a modern war is way too fast-paced to mobilize by letter anymore after an enemy has already started an invasion. Their mobilization only really succeeded in the areas that were too far away for the Germans to reach in the initial stages, and which could then be covered for mobilization by British assistance.

OMG where's the CAT & KRYTON , RIMMEEEEEER ? I guess LISTER is driving for UBER, since he lost his job on CORNATION STREET driving for STREET CARS?

It was KOed and captured in N. Africa. Almost assuredly it was from a 2 pounder.

Great to hear that you enjoyed it Valeriu!

Dummy thicc

Seriously, who can pay attention to the little mini-tank when there's a Jawa sand-crawler *right there* ?

Great to hear you enjoyed it!

Glad to hear it!

1 Dislike now... must be a a French Char driver.

I figure the 1 dislike is because he forgot to mention the 5th manufacturer

4 dislikes now. Who does that ...

The French.

Apparently anyone who rated the video with a dislike reckons that he or she can do a better job LOL Some people simply like to moan (in a bad way 😉)

A point overlooked by many Cory.

Cory Fice You can use horses almost on any ground.

And germans were that efficient, they used horse bodies as a sniper hideout (at least as a desperate method in the end of the war). No one was expecting that.

@@thetankmuseum That's not as major a point as it sounds. The logistics arm will always outnumber the actual fighting force. If the horses were part of the combat arms (by that I mean actual cavalry) and outnumbered the tanks, that would be a major issue. However horses were widely used on the Eastern Front, with the Soviets actually having an even lower proportion of motor vehicles than the Germans. Even France had over half a million horses in its army in 1940, far more than the number of tanks (do remember that of the Western Allies, France had the most tanks of any combatant, including Germany, at the start of the war). That the German army was highly mechanized might have been a myth, but it wasn't much worse than the largest of its adversaries before Pearl Harbor, and in some cases better off. You're propagating another myth to counter the mechanized army myth, which is just as bad if not worse. This also ignores the fact that German motorized logistics and combat strength was heavily dedicated to panzer divisions, while the slower infantry, who wouldn't be outrunning horse-borne transport anyways, were supplied and had their field guns transported via such means.

They used horses instead of trucks, because the german high command was well aware of the fact that the available oil reserves wouldn't allow fully mechanized troops. They also missed to fully mobilize their industrial capacities for military gear, so there wouldn't have been enough trucks/halftracks available anyway. ^^

@@Tuning3434nice song

If you want to see a cute tank look up the Polish TKS tankettes ... So small you could probably fit 2 in a medium sized garage. That and they tend to drift on assphalt and or brick roads on full throttle which is amusing to watch.

You might love the Italian L6/40, then. AKA the three-stepped pyramid of doom.

@@chungusbooperI love all tanks to be honest. But yeah that one is a funny one indeed.

@@PhenixtriI think i recall having seen one of those in a documentary once.

Its why i love tankettes in general as the TKS intoduced me to these tiny midget tanks .... Makes me wish i could own a tankette as they look like they would be alot of fun to take on a joy ride xD

Hell, the FT had sloped armor.

Mk4. Any predreadnought battle ship. Etc etc

@@sugarnads Yes. And even many castle towers and turrets. But perhaps that's one of your "ect." 😉

@@polarvortex3294 what trix the weeraboos is its called 'batter' on a castle or fort

Glad you enjoyed it!
