Top 5 Tanks, You Never Knew About 

German? "Hanz, ze transmmisen is broken" Russian? "ivan, the gun is too high"

Imagine sitting in the Waffentrager when it fired. That had to be a real bouncy event.

I am actually amazed and interested in German designs even if they did not see service.

Fun fact: Krupp is still around these days. The name is from a very influential 400 year old German family dynasty, that have been very successful in the weapon and steel manufacturing business. They merged with Thyssen AG in 1999, now going by the name Thyssen-Krupp. I used to work for a company that built shipping containers and Thyssen-Krupp were our main steel supplier, pretty cool to think about.

German tanks? DEMONETIZED.

Hitler: I have a idea Speer: oh no not again

Russian tanks were probably the happiest tanks in War Thunder. Since they have no depression they can't be sad...right?

TOP 5 TANKE U NEVER KNEW ABOUT.... except u are playing wt or wot

"Top 5 Tanksy You Never Knew About" >Kugelblitz >Waffenträger M8, we're all playing WT here.

I’m gonna have headache and seizure reading the “hetzer is not a tank” and that kind of stuff comments

Fun Fact: The Maresal tank destroyer was supposed to use the 75 mm Reșița Model 1943, a Romanian indigenous designed anti tank gun which combined the muzzle brake, recoil and firing mechanisms and split-trail carriage of the ZiS-3, the barrel, rifling and cartridge chamber of the Vickers/Reşiţa Model 1936 anti-aircraft gun and the projectile chamber of the Pak 40.

Panzer IV: Exists German Tank engineers: *It's a free real estate*

2:17 thats a lawnmower with a cannon

ROMANIAN TECH TREE CONFIRMED

Since some of the most popular German tanks are named after cats, they were furries. Change my mind

9:13 Gunner: hey loader do you see those birds. Loader: nah it's just a plane. Gunner: ... Loader: ... Commander: ... Driver: ... Engine: brrrrr brrrrr brrrr Gun: *complete silence* Commander: fire. Gunner: k Everything: *gone* Bomb: BOOM Gun: pew pew pew pew pew pew pew Loader: stop it's just birds migrating

>Mark 103 REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Not enough Bob semples 0/10 - Kidding bloody good video as per normal Iron.

40%- normal comments 60%- world of tanks experts "Hey I know this tank, it's in wot"

0:05 I've never seen so much faulty transmissions all together.

Great vid, needs more carrier landings though))

"Demonetized for unfamily friendly tank contents"

17:35 I want one of those as my car.

Cobbled mockup: "Man destroys town in homemade tank, police helpless to stop concrete-encased, weaponized bulldozer."

Sorry for the long delay between videos. It took way longer than i thought it would to make this. I hope you guys enjoy this and that it was worth the wait.

a few years ago a Borgward IV was found under some railroad tracks in Euskirchen germany. as far as i know the remains have been scrapped since the german railway companie was responsible for the removal and had no interrest to restore the old ammunition transport.

Never knew the hetzer was inspired and basically came from my country. It seems like an honour now lol.

I guessed 30 tons when he asked how much I thought the hetzer weighed. Damn was I wrong

I want a Lowe :(

What if i knew? *GESTAPO OPEN UP!*

The goliath is the cutest thing ever

I guessed 16 tons for a Hetzer, I didn’t count the extra sausages 😂

8:07 MK stands for Maschinenkanone not Mark.

I hear that Grand Budapest soundtrack back there! Great choice. Easily my favorite movie.

I dont know why but the name bogward is somehow funny for me. "Look out here comes the bogward."

I hope they add the Mareșal to War thunder

Heya ma dood! Just wanna say that the "MK" in "MK 103" doesn't stand for Mark but for "Maschinen Kanone", machine cannon (autocannon). :) Great job otherwise!

I stopped reading mein kampf for this

Very interesting! Well made and informative.

Well it's hard to find a german tank, i don't know of because i'm the biggest wehraboo in the world.

By the end of the day, one of the best tanks and chassis germans used was made by Czechoslovakia, as Škoda transmittion works well after 30 years

I love these historical top 5s and 10s, great vids man

K wagen:lol im heavy af Maus:think again Ratte:hold my beer.

This video earned you a subscription. Well done! I have only heard of the Hetzer on your list previously.

Interesting, Borgward in the end became ,here in Germany at least, more well known for building Civilian and even sports cars, post-war... Wait that kinda sounds like someone else we know.... *Cough* Porsche *Cough*

"Mark 103 cannons" MK doesn't mean Mark lmao

Really interesting video, and I learned a few new things about German Armor. Thanks for the video !!!

18:06 "we need a german, no normal human can spell this stuff" :D he missspelled Borgward tho :P

I would love to see that romanian TD in warthunder. Could be added as an event vehicle or something like that. Either way, good video :D

Oh, nice, I didn't know Hetzer is something inspired by Romanians. I am Romanian btw, so ty for putting that aswell.

Excellent. Great research. Thanks.

I came to this list expecting something knew, well I knew all the tanks that were explained in this video. Still a great video. Thumbs up :)

Yay New top 5!

I missed these Top 5 videos. So informative :3

This is actually interesting to learn about, I also did not know so many deigns were actually for the Löwe

Well done sir! Please keep up the wonderful work! 10 x 10! Oohraah!

The panzershrek bogwood would be a nice meme vehicle in warthunder

War daddy back with the top 5

I liked that mate. very enjoyable. Cheers.

Is that the music from the grand budapest hotel... Because if it is its f***ing awesome you rock dude!

0:52 The frontal armor of the Löwe was 100mm or 120mm depending on the design. The three designs that were projected to weigh 90 tons would have had 120mm of armor. (Panzertracts 20-1) 0:57 The cannon that was to be used on the Löwe was for some time the 10,5cm L/70 yes, but originally it had been a 15cm L/52. By the end of development it was changed again to a 15cm L/40. (Panzertracts 20-1) 1:10 "Maresal" is pronounced "Mah-re-shal" not "Marshall" (Joshua Martinez, expert on the Maresal) 1:24 The Jagdpanzer 38(t) was never known as the "Hetzer". Hetzer was the nickname for the E-10 that allied intelligence mistakenly assigned to the Jagdpanzer 38(t) (CIOS Report XXVI-13 "Reich Ministry of Armaments and War Production" + Hillary Louis Doyle expert opinion + absence of evidence to the contrary) 4:42 The roadwheels and tracks for the Jagdpanzer 38(t) were the same as those on the Panzer 38(t) 3:45, 4:48 These are Swiss G-13s, not a Jagdpanzer 38(t)s (You can tell by the gun barrel, which widens slightly when it meets the gun mantlet, the real Jagdpanzer 38(t) did not have this) 5:10 Panzer IV production was *planned* to cease because the Panzer IV was obsolete. Resources would be redirected to the StuG IV, Panther, and later Jagdpanzer 38(d) (Note (d) not (t)). While production of the Panzer IV slowed down, it was never totally stopped, nor was it meant to be replaced with the Jagdpanzer 38(t), which was being produced in Czechoslovakia. 8:14 MK 103 cannons. MK stands for Machinenkanone, not "Mark" 9:34 At least one Kugelblitz saw combat in Berlin. It was knocked out on the intersection of Potsdamer Straße and Bülowstraße, by the U-bahnhof. A photo was taken of the wreck with three Russians and one Western Allied soldier on July 11th, 1945. (Hillary Louis Doyle confirms this is a Kugelblitz, as the front hull above the driver's position is level with the engine deck, on the regular Panzer IV this area was sloped slightly. Google the above details and I'm sure you can find the photo) 11:58 No, it wasn't. 12:10 E-50 was a medium tank. It shared a hull design with the E-75, which was the heavy tank. They would have replaced the Panther and Tiger II respectively. 12:21 The E-100 was planned to mount either a 15cm or 17cm gun. (Panzertracts 6-3) The idea that it would have mounted a 12,8cm gun is conjecture based on the idea Germany was trying to finish the hull as quickly as possible in the dire late-war situation with a Maus turret. According to Gerd Stieler von Heydekampf in one of the BIOS reports (Interrogation report XXVII-47 I believe) the E-100's gun was changed to a 10,5cm cannon due to the more powerful engine not being available and having to use the Tiger II engine instead. I have not been able to confirm this claim but it should be considered as it comes from the head of the Panzerkommission. 14:20 I believe the number was 12, but I don't have a source in front of me to confirm this. 16:15 This is a Sd.Kfz.300 Minenräumwagen B I, it is not related to the Sd.Kfz.301 schwerer Ladungsträger Borgward B IV 18:34 This is the Sd.Kfz.300 Minenräumwagen B II "Ente", again, not related to the B IV

Finally, someone brings the Maresal to the spotlight. Thankyou!

Outstanding video, as I have come to expect from you! Now, how can I get my hands on a Borgward 4, LOL! Would love to show up at a reenactment, pull up next to a Bren gun carrier and see the look on the drivers face!

Great video! Very informative even if not playing World of Tanks.

3-inch -Gun carrier- Waffenträger

5:55 if you see the A7V, you can imagine the crews feet on the ground to move it forward...just like in the Flintstones

You do an amazing job with your videos. Thank You

Excellent research!

Watching this video makes me appreciate company of heroes even more

My absolute favorite would be the radio controlled borgward tank XD.

Wow awesome video very informative thank you so much

I sub since I have been pulled by how interesting your videos are

How about top 5 allied experimental tanks?

Hetzer is one of the most well-known tanks of WWII...

Because you are the first person with a channel that I'VE heard that doesn't beg a million times for me to hit like, subscribe and comment, I'm gonn get all up in ya vids! Cheers yo As if people don't know what to do on youtube. P.s love old war memorabilia and stories, good stuff

excellent video! thank you!

Nice video mate, I only knew 1 tank lol. Shows that you've actually done your research! Earned a Sub.

Many love the Panther and Tiger, but I honestly love the Waffenträger and Hetzer. They do not only look good but were probably more needed than all the German heavies...

Nice clip mate. Romanian tank, it is a time that someone (You for exe) will tell something about romanian army as a german ally in WW2. It is impossible to find a proper documentary about Hiter's allies involvement in WW2 (Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria), but there is a few about Italy.

Cool video. I think that since this one is mostly German tanks, you should make a video with some vehicles from other nations. The video was actually really interesting and I think if you made another one it would be really cool!

wargaming: *heavy breathing* cuz they like to have tanks that don’t see combat in wot

Most of these tanks are in war thunder or world of tanks

A fine video! Although there a big difference between tank and self propelled gun. Rare photos are always cool to see!

thanx for the great info

5) Maresal (1:09) (side note: the way you say "maresal" lol) Romanian WW2 Tank Destroyer 4) Grosskampfwagen (5:32) German WW1 Super-heavy tank 3) Flakpanzer IV (Kugelblitz) (7:49) German WW2 Self Propelled Anti Air 2) Waffenträger (9:43) German WW2 Tank Destroyer 1) Borgward IV (14:44) German WW2... basically it's anything you want it to be... Summary: 18:53

Iron if youre reading this you need to make more top 5s as they are the best on the Internet

Hi :) I really like your videos, as they show me tanks, i had nerver seen before, although i consider myself very intrested in this period of history. but don't be mad at me when I say i am laughing so hard when you try your best to pronounce the german names^^ as an austrian, it is huge fun! :D

Brilliant documentary

Patreon early access or is there another reason why people have commented, 7h ago? Nice video btw.

"the borgward 4 wan an ammunation transporter or is it?" *BOI* "maybe is a giant remote control mine detonator" "now it's a goliath tracked mine" *BOOIIIII* "NOPE now someone strapped 6 panzrerschreck to it and make it an anti-tank gun" *BOI AGAIN*

Wow all of these five German tanks that I !!did not know about!! Are very interesting and cool. Thank you for the content

Very ilustrative!

Dunno why, but Hetzers look so cute

Shame on you Iron, you used the red arrow in the thumbnail...

"On paper the Jagdpwanzer is vewy impwessive" ...... classic narration from Bigus Dickus. Bravo !!

Thank you! I bought a resin tank kit from an eBay auction and could not identify it (no instructions). I now realise it is a Borgward IV.

World of Tanks players watching this: "I kNoW aLl ThEsE *heavy breathing*"

bruh the two first pictures of the lowe wasnt even a lowe it was a VK 72.01

0:48 this is one of the prototypes, the last stage had turret in mid

I new about the Romanian tank from making the Romanian tech tree for War Thunder, there were 5 different versions built, and a 6th version was being built but was not completed.
