TANK HUNTER: Armored COMBAT from Normandy to the Rhine | Wilbur Myers 

🫵👍🏼🇺🇸❤😊

Great perspective Ronald. I always have the most appreciation for the people that performed miracles and did more with less in any given situation while expecting nothing more than pay or compensation in return. No chest pumping, boasting or bragging; just sending it like they seen it and sharing their emotional and physical pain with the world. So sad that all these things were so preventable had Politicians been better leaders, more proactive and transparent with their people. I realize I wasn't there, but I see the wars and conflict of today and smell the same recipe cooking. Only now it's so blatantly about money, resources, land and time being consumed of people around the world. We're given no say and losing so much by the endless greed of countries that pretend they're Nations but acting like States the whole time. God willing Earth can come to terms as 1 and do away with the endless squabble over consumption. Using 3x what we would be in defending what we know is a limited supply. I love the innovation, life skills, opportunity and leadership I have been a part of thru my 18 years with the United States Navy; but the military industrial complex is perpetuating madness and geopolitical instability now in padding their purpose with our peace of mind just like the VA has done with our post-service Healthcare. The VA appears to be trying to get better and I admittedly ran from their system a decade ago because it hurt more working with them than it does without them in my life. Thank God for men like your father and your perspective and recognition of it. Wish you the best Mt friend.

Saved the world from what? Europe and America are third world bannana republics now. The world is a worse place since the Germans lost.

You're dad is one of many hero's... 🙏🇺🇸🙏

​@@griftinggameryou must be stupid

Me too and so well said. And what an incredible man he is.

Absolutely!💯 And this fine gentleman looks great!

Yeah, when he said he was 100 years old, I was surprised how well he remembered and spoke about what he went through more than half his life before this interview. I don't know if he's still with us today, but being a Christian, I know where he will spend Eternity. Maybe I meet him there?

​@@rb67mustangI sure hope to be in the company of people like him after leaving Earth.

A centurion, WOW you have seen a lot of change in that time. ♥️🙏♥️🙏

Fabulous Man.

Unfortunately there are many who are Christian in label only. They fail in the 💕”What would Jesus do.”

@leapinlizard9487- Your words of your father he’s an hero in your family as my father’s fathers friend. He’s portrayed by actor Carl Muldon in the movie in 1980 “Patton”….. My cousin fought many battles…. Dominic my 2nd cousin we respectfully called Uncle Dominic he served in WWII he was General Patton’s first Lt. an served in WWII as an staff officer under General Patton he was on General Patton’s staff an drove Gen. Pattons driver in combat an service for are fine hero’s as we live an breath in America. “I thank you 1 an all”.

@@randalsiggson7178 Your 2nd cousin was a great American hero. My dad met General Patton twice, he always spoke very highly of him. The "slapping" incident of a wounded soldier in the hospital was widely & unjustly reported, but my dad said Patton did it because he wanted to maybe give the wounded soldier something to hate more than the war. Patton wasn't a believer in hand-to-hand combat, he told his soldiers to shoot the enemy from a distant. He said if you used-hand-to-hand combat and survived he would have you court marshalled.

Im christian my self but trust me it’s not just ine religion, every faith that has reach radical level are dangerous

Sherman tanks were pathetic compared to the germans ....panzers...tigers

@@nickmalone3143and the Sherman’s still won….

@@nickmalone3143maybe inferior as far as armor and firepower. But more armor and bigger gun doesn’t mean a thing when u can’t keep the tank running. So depends on how u look at it I suppose

Shermans weren't necessarily worse than the german Panzers, they just faced a well dug in opponent who was on the defense since 1943. Mines, Artillery, AT emplacements etc all took a heavy toll on the Allied armor. Tank on tank engagements were relatively rare. I agree on your 2 points, and Sherman did the mentioned job exceedingly well. So it's not fair to call it "worse" than the german big cats.

Sherman tanks lacked armor and knockout power compared to the panzers. The German Tanks was superior in armor and cannon both. The Sherman tank was a rolling coffin it definitely still helped the infantry troops and played a important roll in helping achieve victory.

@@Jotgut Tank against Tank...the Sherman M - 4 was exceedingly lacking... It only had 3" of Front armor ... And its 76 mm lacked fire power to penetrate the panzers unless they hit it in the tracks , thus disabling it ; so they could out maneuver it and obtain a hit in the panzers rear....

There were so few German tanks to counter the allied armor, that most US tankers in ETO finished the war without having seen one. Even the TDs were mostly delegated to infantry support, acting as mobile artillery or a direct fire asset against bunkers etc. Something like 80% of 76 & 90 mm rounds expended were HE. The Sherman was very capable of taking on the bulk of German armor; P3s, P4s, and the myriad of the Marder-series. The few P5s, P6s and Jagdpanzer-hevies were so few on number, they did proved to be nothing more than curiosity on the tactical level.

Except wars aren't fought Tank against Tank. And 76mm could definitely penetrate panzer 4s and tigers. @@nelsonlanglois9104

He will be 101 years old this year.

He is in the 692 TD battalion, they fought through a different route than the 705th. I am sure they were around each other for certain battles though.
