The History In Girls Und Panzer Der film 

“Wait, nobody dies in this sport, why is Stalin so upset?” I think you just answered your own question.

The great gulag in the sky. I’m done.

One BT-42 trolling the shit out of 3 Pershing in Polka tune is my absolute favorite segment in this movie.

"The Fins judge from afar..." I... I think that perfectly describes Finland throughout history.

That's how the Japanese get you. Someone tells you about an anime that combines all your ultra-niche interests and you think "sure some of these tropes are absurd and the plot makes no sense, but its mildly entertaining." Then you wake up one day and claim katanas can cut through 400mm of RHA

"And The Finn's are in the forest... because of course they are" gave me a good chuckle

"Miho and Maho are actually friends." They're sisters - by actual blood (which is pretty rare in anime).

My favorite part is that the Japanese Tank crew, the gaming geeks, had exercised so hard in their spare time, to the point they can reload a shell with one arm and break the control shafts by driving too hard.

"I hate anime" *proceeds to buy into the usual twist every anime offers next to their tropes whilst relating and adoring one of the female side characters*

Interesting note: a BT-42 once fired 18 HEAT shells at a T-34 to absolutely no effect. Benis, indeed.

Am I the only one that realized that the only team to actually defeat the main characters are the British?

"Regardless of how inaccurate it is, it's just super fun to watch" That and the completely unnecessary amount of historical references that let you know the writers were complete tank nerds are the main points in my constant pitches of this show to people

4:20 instead of World of Tanks if you look closely it says “World of SPG”, which is basically joking about the SPG bias in WoT

Cold war tanks vs the German Tigers that sounds fammiliar... Wait a second did Gajin make this This might be late

Miho:wait why are you taking our tanks Kay: *I don't see tanks...I see oil*

"I am not an anime fan" "This is the only anime I've watched" "I really like this anime" hmmm... I don't think this computes.

My man of culture and amazing historian RU-vidr

10:21 “Nobody dies in this sport. Why Stalin so upset ?” I think you just answered your own question hahahaha Also you do know there is another movie right ?muhahahahahaha

Dad: "Hey did you win the tankery tournament with your high school?" Daughter: "Yeah totally!" Dad:"Great! Was it close?" Daughter: "Nah. We did about $756 milllion more in damage than they did so it wasn't even close."

7:28 The British girl’s message begins with the first few lines of the poem that Radio London used to inform the French Resistance of the upcoming Normandy Landings.

1:06 "Even with how stupid some of the physics are, it's just really fun to watch" Isn't that like, the whole point of anime in the first place?

Yukari is my spirit animal

One historical reference you missed they named this little bear "Wojtek", it is reference to bear that served (yes, he got salary and had rank of Corporal ) in Polish army during ww2 in whole series there are many references to Poland, for example Yukari's favourite tank is souble turret 7TP, and she is based on Lidka from Polish TV series, Four Tank-Men and a Dog

"And the Finns are in the forest. Because of course they are." *Benis*

Just imagine how some Sherman crews felt when encountering Japanese tanks, they're scarred from encounters with Tigers that saw many fellow Shermans being utterly destroyed and now they suddenly are the most powerful tank in this stage of the war.

Finland jokes. Do I love you in this moments? The answer is *BENIS* XD

12:27 The rolling ferris wheel scene is a reference to the film "1941". Again, following the motif of the rabbit teams' tactics being based on scenes from old ww2 films. Also, the rabbit team's tank, the M3 Lee, went into service in 1941 so that's another nice touch.

The only good British tank? Laughs in TOG 2

"And secure the tanks as if they were oil or something." Break me off a piece of that Kek-Kat bar

>Yukari is my spirit animal umm dude, we call those waifus

I understand why tankery hitler had to close down the school. just imagine being the only male in this world.

One of my favorite ww2 stories of all time was from a crusader captain. His tank honest to god actually jumped a ravine in a similar manner as in the show. Which he even had to admit was ridiculous. On that same day they got ambushed by a german anti air gun that peppered them with 20mm shells which he later found sticking out of his tanks armor which was wierd.. they should have bounded off. So wondering why it was that his particular tank.happened to be faster and mode nimble than every other tank in the company and also why these supposedly harmless AA rounds had done some damage he took it to the quarter master who checked its serial number. It turns out that this particular tank was a TRAINING model and had HALF the armor of a combat tank... the funny thing is this tank had served for over 2 years in combat... and when offered to switch it out for an unarmored combat tank the crew said no. It was their lucky tank after all! So that's the story of a british cruiser training tank that fought the whole damn war and survived.

"They secure the tanks as it is oil or something" Had a nice chuckle over that one

"And then there a fan-service scene because of anime-" suddenly my alarm goes of, wich is just some guy screaming "UNCLEAN" that timing just killed me

1:35 I refuse to be elated by the version which excluded “Katyusha” from the Pravda episode.

Imagine the new Zealand team just dominating the battle with just a single Bob semple to the point that the only concern (for us) is that it's firing more rounds than it should have.

“My culture is not your goddamn tankery match”

At 6:14 that military strategy game looks a lot like Kriegspiel, designed in the early 1800’s in Prussia. It was used during WW2 for German officer cadet training

"It's pretty stupid but it's fun to watch" That's a lot of anime in a nutshell

10:10 that could be an reference to stalin words "Death of one is a tragedy, death of many is only statistics"

Its a t-95 that looses its tracks and becomes a t-28

*Sees latest upload* A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Bruh you completely forgot about the tzar tank reference with the Ferris wheel

6:25 *FeEd Me ThE sOuLs oF tHe InNoCeNt*

This is my favorite anime Wait... is this actually an anime?

Katyusha: all the Stalin, half the size Benis

They tell there tanks goodbye as the ministry of *Education* is sent to take them all Something I never thought I would hear

“Fan favourite” rose hip. Hmmmm....

Klara and Nona's "death" scene is so well made I felt genuine sadness and damn near cried. If that was in a more serious anime where people actually died I might have. Just wow, the power of sad music, rain, and cute anime girls.

my dude. you've been at this for less than a year and you're already at over 100k subs. well done.

10:25 a reference you missed in this scene is one of the stranger (and darker) references in the series: when she hears the mortar is called a 'Karl' Anchovy shouts the name 'Karl Wolff?', who was Heinrich Himmler's chief of staff and Higher SS leader in Italy where many atrocities were committed. In the background of other scenes there's also a restaurant called Manstein's and I think a shop called Villers which must be a reference to the Battle of Villers-Bocage.

“The great gulag in the skies” Lol

🅱enis

>new Potential history >Girls Und Panzer. Yes!!!!!!

The bear that made Alice hesitate is a reference to Wojtek (Voytek) - the BEARer of artillery. In 11:47 you can see that he's carrying artillery shell. One of the coolest war stories and references in der film.

Thank you for the vid and tank history

10:19 I want to point out that Kara is drinking "non- alcoholic vodka" I think that was funny

You better become a Girls Und Panzer channel.

We want, we absolutely need, an History video of the OVA Girls und Panzer: This is the Real Anzio Battle! Come on pal, you cannot discriminate against Italy! My animal italian spirit, is crying loudly! Please!!!

It’s nice that you can see at 9:41 a Shinkansen HST yellow doctor which was a maintenance version of the Shinkansen 0 series.

Literally 2 months ago I found this channel with like 5k subs and thought the videos were made with lots more heart than anything else I had really seen in a while, so congrats on 100k man and here is to the next 100k

You can tell from this video that this channel is *tanking*

the beginning sequence is a stalingrad refrence, with one group on defense, with the other team laying siege, while a second group comes in and reinforces in a pincer movement

You saved me a lot of time. Thank you !

This was the quality content I subscribed for

Finally the sequel *WEEB* been waiting for

I’m amazed you didn’t mention the t 28 getting stuck then becoming unstuck

This review wins for the "Yukari's Heroes" gag. thanks again for pointing out all the tank nerdery carefully included in every story. That's important, since the anime is at its core cute anime girls acting out the dreams of tank nerds across the world of having historical and historically accurate (more or less) tank matches where no one is seriously hurt, and no beloved tanks are destroyed. Ain't it cool?

I remember when this channel only had 4K subscribers. Ah, Those were the days.

The very first video of yours I ever saw was your Girl Und Panzer video. My, this channel has come a long way since that one boring school free period where I found this channel.

the message that darjeeling send to others school is the message who was send to french resistant to get ready for and the launch of D-day, just she added the final line about tea. but that's a huge historical reference ;)

The board game being played is 'Panzer Leader"(1974). A highly accurate recreation of western front WW2 mobile tactics featuring faithful reproduction of WW2 armoured and infantry units. It also had a sister game 'Panzer Blitz"(1970) for the Eastern Front. The specific board being showed is the map for the Normandy area scenarios. A third game was made a few years later 'Arab Israeli Wars' covering 1948-1973 conflicts. I played them many times as this was all we had before computer games. It is no surprise they used it as these Avalon Hill products were lovingly created and so the very best WW2 based games for nearly two decades.

I dont know why but the Benis part killed me

It's called hentai. And It's art.

"...and anime ensues..." As an anime fan, this is my favorite line by far XD

I just realized a line that didn't make sense to me at first. Something like 'they said you can't upgrade the engine but didn't say you can't upgrade the motor' or something to that effect. Now that I know about the Porsche Tiger's unique drivetrain, it makes sense.

*before watching the video* this better not be the dub

"World of SPG" WORLD OF ARTILLERY?! HOLY $H!T THEY KNOW THEIR GAMES!

Also the game that the history club was playing is called Panzer blitz, it’s a super rare wargame from the 1980s, I’m lucky enough to still have mine

Also, they get a direct hit from a 600mm mortar and dont die. Their eardrums should be gone

7:42 had me laughing from the bottom of my gut. Thank you.

I love your videos dude, I am very happy for you to get 100,00 subs in less than a year man. Keep up your awesome work

Returning to this video because I kinda stumbled on it again, I hate how you didn't mention how hype the scene where all the other schools came to Oarai's aid was with the musical themes of each school/country playing as they come. Also, it's funny how they had to crack this impossible plan to take the Karl down just for show because it only had enough armor to stop small arms fire. And even if that wasn't the case, they could have just shot one of the rounds when it was being loaded.

Yukari: IT'S COMING RIGHT AT US! Me: YEAEEESSSS!

“...The Centurion is the only good British tank design of World War 2...” REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Anime Tank Video > Actual History Video

5:48 loved the quick Hogan's Heros reference

I could find no video on the M26 Pershing then I remembered this video so thanks

I loved this, now until the last 6 part finale comes out, could you do a History on the OVA called Girls und Panzer OVA: This is the Real Anzio Battle! This OVA takes place during the original tournament where the Ōarai school faces off against the Italian Anzio high School. You'll get to see some of the Italian tanks not in the rest of the series.

Note, the British are sending in front of a Turing machine like the one shown in "The Imitation Game" which are used to break the Enigma code used by German in WWII. The text they send to other schools are actually the first couple lines from the poem "Chanson d'automne" by French poet Paul Verlaine, which are the lines French Resistance used to signal the incoming of Operation Overlord, quite similar to the situation in the movie.

My grandpa drove in a crusader he had a diary and then in the end of the African campaign in tunisna there crusader was hit and was liquefied but he survived and then he got sent into a Sherman after d day

Me: sees type 97 Also me: well they lost

3:31 The treads are in perfect framerate sync

Best scene: bt42, no questions asked

"secure the tanks as if they were oil or something". I freaking lost it at this line. Beer went over my keyboard from my nose. I hope you are happy sir. I should get a lawyer or something for the pain and subsequent damage inflicted on me by your ridiculously funny line!

"Ya I found dub for das" *Doesnt include it in the description*

I got a theory, that Potential history isn't the dude in the profile pic, he's actually the lizard on his shoulder.

I see you’re a man of culture

Hey a reference that is easy to miss is the swing boat ride. On an establishing shot the rides name is something Furious. Which is a reference to HMS Furious in her first configuration with a single 18 inch gun on the stern and the bow being used for aircraft.

The fact that this helped me with history class
