Mute US Signal Corps footage showing the formal surrender of remnants of the schwerer-Panzer-Abteilung-512 to US troops at the Schillerplatz at Iserlohn on 16 April 1945.
Rare shots of Jagdtiger heavy tank hunters armed with the 12.8cm PAK 44 L/55 cannon and a Panther armoured recovery vehicle or Bergepanther on the move.
Also of interest to AFV enthusiasts are the shots of a US-built M3A1 White Scout car in German markings.from 00:35 to 00:50. At this stage in the war in Europe, 21st Army Group under the command of Field Marshal Montgomery were still using the White Scout Car but it seems more likely that the vehicle seen here was a trophy fom an earlier battle on the eastern front with the Red Amy which received many thousands of US-manufactured vehicles during the years 1942 to 1945 via Lend-Lease.
The panzerjaeger officer seen addressing his men at the end of this footage is Hauptmann (Captain) Albert Ernst, who had commanded Kompanie 1 of schwerer-Panzer-Abteilung-512 until taking charge of surviving remnants of the battalion just days before its surrender. The American officers seen taking the formal capitulation belong to 99th US Infantry Division's 394th Infantry Regiment.

This is a great source of information for armour scale modellers. The main thing that sticks out is that although they were adversaries, they were allowed a dignified surrender.
@violentscorl697
@violentscorl697 5 месяцев назад
They were allowed this surrender because the Jagdtiger was such a destructive weapon that the US army didn’t bother trying to take them down. Why not accept a surrender and save lives on both sides?

@barrycabbageM34 4 месяца назад
​@@violentscorl697 This doesn't really hold up when you can find plenty of examples of Panzer III's and IV's also getting the same treatment. Yes, in part it's because they don't want to fight them but it's not due to them being Jagdtigers... its just because it's much easier to let the crews surrender without any further fighting at all.

My grandfather served as an M4 driver with the US 2nd Armored Division, and he told me a story about the Germans using natural foliage-type camouflage on their tanks as seen here. And the US tankers discovered that from a covered position they could drop an HE round on the German tanks doing this and it would often set the foliage on fire and flames would get sucked into the German tank's engine air intakes and disable it and chase out the crew. Then combat engineers or TD units would be called to finish it off later.

Dr Mark Felton made a video about this unit in the last days of the war - those Jagdtigers wreaked havoc on American armour right up to the end. It will have been a great relief for the Americans to see them finally come in for the surrender. It's worth noting the dodgy waving at 1.43 - I've seen this on other surrender films too. It's basically a Nazi salute, but they wave the hand to try and make it look like it isn't - not very subtle!

Was going to comment on the Bergepanther, but got beaten to it 😀 This surrender hauled a nice array of very rare vehicles indeed! And the hardest to find, was the crew of the Jagdtiger with 2 white circles on the cannon. Word has it they're still looking for them. Oh and by the way, did anyone notice how clumsy, unmaneuverable, always-breaking-down those 70-ton behemoths were? Jeez for moments I thought the screen was going to get filled up with sprockets and transmission parts! 😂
