Throughout the decades of tank production there have been many nicknames given to the vehicles in service. These commonly take the form of animals such as the Tiger, Panther, and even the Hedgehog. In today's video though we won’t be discussing any of those machines, we’ll be discussing a tank which got its name from my favorite amphibian. Sit back and relax as I tell you the story of the Matilda “Frog”.

As I said in the video I have donated 500 dollars which brings us over the 3,000 dollar mark so lets see if we can hit 4,000!
1st lol
Just donated what I could. As it turns out the organization is currently helping not only save my state frog, but also local wetlands in the beautiful Lake Tahoe area close by. I may even try and find time to volunteer for the event they are hosting for the 13th Annual Save The Frogs Day coming up here soon.
Please help the frogs we can't let the water turn the frogs gay
Save Das Froges :(
I'd love to see the Auzzie ww2 tank that had literally every size of gun mounted on it at some point.

They also did a Matilda variant with a sheds worth of mortars on the back, and called it the "Hedgehog".
He mentioned it in the intro.
Yeah dude I play that tank ini war thunder and it was suck so much. It could only fire forward, could only fire at medium distance, and is not that deadly at all, plus the fact that it attached to a slow tank unlike the german half truck one make this thing completely useless. One of if not the SHITTIEST premium tank on the game. Wonder how it will perform in real life
@@059adiandrianwidyadarmawan3 Imagine paying for something in a free to play game lol
Fun fact: Its called a "Hedgehog" because it has a Hedgehog Anti-Submarine Mortar on the back.
@@Ring_nutswell thats my biggest mistake in war thunder, buying a anti infantry tank in a tank vs tank game
As an active Aussie I can say, there is at least 5 frogs still around in various museums. I’ve been to three of them and they are derpy but cool.
If it looks stupid, but it works...
Which museum's I'm dying to see the black one in real life
Japanese: *hide in the jungle*
Australians: *maniacal laughing*
australia : so we just made this version of the matilda mate , and it like throw flame and stuff
australian tankers : so cool yeah but what is the name of the tank?
australian tankers 2 : its a flamthrower tank so maybe dragon or something like that?
australia : hmmm
F R O G
Dragons were actually just fire breathing frogs that got really big

Flamethrower but armored basically just like cheese but extra cheesy
Tanks but with more turrets basically
some may even call it a tank
Extra cheesy? More like extra spicy. 😅
But flames melt cheese?
@@humanfromthesolarsystempla3143 Mmm melted cheese...
Churchill Crocodile: Is armed with a flamethower.
Matilda Frog: Is armed with a flamethower.
How ironic.
The fact that the Tortoise heavy assault tank doesn't feature a flamethrower is from now on considered a serious design flaw.
@@acediadekay3793 I don't wanna think about the potential addition of a massive flame projector being the tortoise's main gun, imagine the range it'd have.
@@PoisoningShadow671 The gun was originally designed for anti air combat.
So imagine one day ( doing WW2) just looking up in the clear blue sky and spotting a sweet and peaceful Stuka dive bomber, just mining its own business, and then suddenly the whole fucking sky disappears in a flaming inferno of nothing but twirling fire, smoke and soot.
Once the smoke clears, the Stuka would magically be gone, like it never was there to begin with.
And no one would ever believe you.
@@acediadekay3793 Antiaircraft flamethrowers were tried out, with the Germans fitting rearward-facing ones in the tails of some bombers. It wasn’t a success.
I really want Gaijin to add the Close-Support Matilda armed with the 3-inch howitzer into War Thunder
Didn’t the 3inch howitzer only have HE and smoke?
@@loganb7059 HE is useful now and smoke is good for supporting
@@arandomfallschirmjagerdude9141 I suspect that they'll change it back pretty soon.
Gaijin wont do anything good for their game, Hope you realize that by now XD

I love this man so much he’s so genuine and makes my day with these videos. The frogs shall be saved
It’s 1 am in west coast. No way in hell I’m gonna miss it premiering at 4 am.
What's the difference, you can watch it later.

Bruh saw you on meadsy vid
“We need to disguise as the enemy!”
“But we can only spare a out of order Sherman”
*looks at the Panther*
“Time to make you American looking”
Went looking for Matilda Frog articles found this was not disappointed 🤣
One of those things where you leave Australians alone in a shed for a few hours.
I wonder how many "shrimp on the barbie" and dangerous spiders to be killed by fire jokes are going to be made on this video.
I almost stood on a frog once when walking my dog. And my dog pulled me away from the frog. I don't live near where frogs would live so it came pretty far from where it lives
when i'm lawn mowing i stop to let lizards, frogs and whatnot to get out of my lawnmower's way
@@igoryst3049 you can only do that tho if you know where they are. The frog blended well in the grass
One exists in Puckpanyal tank museum [Puckpanyal, Victoria, Australia]
Aussie Frog vs Japanese Chi-to. The amphibian vs the cheesy snack
Hey I saw this at the army tank museum last week in Melbourne.
The one I saw was at 6:00 but it's painted army green now instead of black.
In WW2 we Aussies always love our world famous BBQ, & there was nothing better than hearing that Snap, Crackle, Pop of a bloody Japanese soldier as we BBQ ed
them all the way from New Guinea to Borneo. There was not really any concern or worry with the slow rate of fire as it gave the crew a better chance/opportunity to
listen to that Snap, Crackle, Pop sound I was talking about.
The Frog photographed was painted in the 4 Armored Brigade markings, my former regiment (i joined in 1977) was the 1st armored regiment in that brigade and used Matilda Frogs and Matilda 2pdrs as well as Covander bridge layers, interestingly i am a Herpetologist with an interest in desert frogs, (Neobatrachus, Litoria, Limnodynastes, Notaden etc), talk about a coincidence.
I read that Japanese soldiers would often just run when they saw a CS Matilda II with the close support howitzer coming. The Aussies knew what was needed.
It's original purpose was to hunt giant spiders, hence the name of the tank.
Japanese when they see the Frog tank: “Can’t you hear the Thunder? You better run, you better take cover”
They would of thought at first glance it was a Matilda with a bigger gun
@@leopoldthedigger7062 “Do you come from the land down under?”
Down under here in victoria there is one on display at the Puckapunyal tank museum, was a great day there with lots of amazing tanks on display :D
Me and the bois at the Australian war memorial: do you have phroggy?!
Sadly we dont
They have one at the Army Tank Museum in Victoria.
Handsome Italian, XD I ask if I can see the tanks in the staff only and they say no.
@@someguy-qb2rs there is a frog there
@@leopoldthedigger7062 Ive never seen it, which section?
Thank you for highlighting SAVE THE FROGS! amphibian conservation efforts!
The real reason we Aussies introduced these things was to provide a decent BBQ for the front line diggers.
The tank named DEVIL seems to be at Puckapunyal judging by the sheds
Man being in a tank would have been bad enough. But being inside a rolling napalm flamethrower would have been absolutely terrifying.
I would love to see a episode on French autoloaders and just how they managed an 4 second reload
I love how the "frog"s shown preserved are named Devil and Charcoal, like that's a hellava name to give a frog.
When the vid hasn’t premiered yet
Early Churchill's had a small calibre gun in the turret and a far heavier gun in the front hull. It's removal allowed space within which could accommodate several crew, shells, or squirtg things.
Hey champ. Love the video. Sent a $10 donation (ends up being $13 AUD), but please, please when using the word "Aussie" pronounce it like "Ozzie". Very grateful no shrimp or barbie references were made, hahahaha. Cheers 🇦🇺
flamethrower tanks are either the best idea I've ever heard or the worst proabably better than just a flamethrower by itself though
There are 4 frogs left.
One in the RAAC Tank Museum Pukapunyal, VIC (Australia)
One hidden away in the War Memorial Canberra, (Australia)
One in a private collection in Kingaroy, (Australia) If I’m not mistaken I believe it was originally part of the Dubbo Military Museum.
And finally there is one located in The National Museum of Military Vehicles in the USA
Information grabbed from the shadock “surviving Matilda infantry tanks”
The yanks took our frog :(
@@yeetissheetsfoot60 We are an equal opportunity thief of a culture.
We steal words from other languages, change them a little and sell them back to the original owners.
We stole a sunk Soviet submarine (or a large piece of it, anyway).
Heck, even the dirt we call our country was stolen from the original inhabitants by war, disease, economics, and treaties broken faster than the ink could dry.
We have a LOT of things to feel bad about. One fantastic Aussie fire-spitter is not even in the first ten pages.
“Zir! Ve has a Matilda approching!”
“Do not veer! Zis gun is too veek to damage our panzers!”
(Matilda fires)
“VAT?!! They has a flamethrower in ze gun! Fire! Fire!”
(Matilda burns the panzer division alive)
We need a video on the L3 flame thrower version
or just the l3 in general i think
@@Windows95__ yeah, now that I think about it it is cursed enough without the variant
I didn't realize what I was looking at at the time, but I saw the first surviving example from your pics at the end of the video in person at the National Museum of Military Vehicles in Dubois, Wyoming (a place which is well worth the time and long drives to see)
Oh wow I didn't know it was still premier
The Matilda I didn't know it had a name frog wait if he's a frog doesn't love him I mean he's a tank but he has a nickname frog so he has to love it. I mean the thing can attach a flamethrower I guess?
What's next, the Cursed by Design Sherman? You know, the tipsy tank that couldn't LOL.
I think it's already the time for Object279 cursed by design. Don't tease us to much in the opening 😁
Australia's native tank, the AC-1 Sentinel wasn't "cursed by design". It was an object of beauty
It has a nice hull mg ;)
@@thegoodaussie1968 It would have made enemy soldiers laugh. Ironically, 42 (I think) were built, when Australia had NO resources to build tanks. I doubt we would be cpable of building something like them to defend ourselves today
@@Angrybogan nah that's a good point, we have to rely on another country to sell them to us eh?
@@thegoodaussie1968 We make our own guns - the Steyr Aussault Rifle. We also make the Bushmaster armoured car, but even that is made with foreign engines. The 4WDs used by the Army come from Merc Benz.
Are we really going to think that our supply lines won't be cut inthe event of a war?
@@Angrybogan The current government think so - they have eliminated the strategic fuel reserves as well.
Oh, i see you using that War Thunder footage, you cant hide it from me
FIRE POWER
ahh yes I see your a man of class
Well lads its time to go waltzing with matilda agin
cone talking about massive amounts of help for her species
meanwhile, the frog is honestly concern with its distance from the floor
great video. FYI 2/1 as a unit in Australian parlance is second first. please keep up the great work :)
“Thank So Watching Until The End”
What Do You Mean? I *ALWAYS* Watch The Entire Video I Click That’s By You!
Your Content Is Amazing! I Love Your Videos And I Would Love To Donate...but I am tight is budget and unfortunately cannot...I’ll Try Once I Can In The Future
That only Proves my theory!
*NEVER MESS WITH AUSTRALIA!*
This is how we deal with single small spiders.
Damn right. Everything around here wants to kill you, so... flame tank...
Cone, my favorite frog lover ❤️
Please talk about the Object 279 its one of my favourite tanks.
This guy needs a netflix series
Him:"Why are you staring at me like that?"
Me:because it's gonna burn you
wait, i'm Australia and i don't know this tank and i love tanks, HOW????
Nice frog
Nice frog vivarium
The Photo at 6.00 of the Frog at the museum. This museum is the Tank Museum at the School Of Armour at Puckapunyal, Victoria.
Look, we found a new species of frogs that spat fire out of their mouths!
Edit:how the hell did this get 23 likes lol
This was built for the great emu wars
*Waltzing Matilda intensifies*
I love the title.
80 gallons of pressurized flamethrower fuel *in the turret*? I can't imagine that inspired much confidence in its crews, either.
Considering the enemies it was fighting couldnt do much to even dent the matilda, I bet they were pretty confident.
Although yeah, i'd probably be worried about potential fuel leaks or something similar happening.
Frog sponsor this video for sure
I’m pretty sure there is 4 Frogs left, one is at Kapooka, one at Steele Barracks, one in Sydney and one in Victoria. This is going back nearly a decade ago though and until seeing the vid forgot about them.
One in USA
One in pukapunyal, RAAC museum VIC (AUS)
One in the war memorial Canberra (AUS)
One in a private collection in Queensland that was once part of the Dubbo military museum (AUS)
Could Look terrifying actually
Good video. Thanks.
Germans: in terms of fuel we have no fule
Africans: 28 flame thrower wounds
Could we get an episode on the Matilda Hedgehog, please?
This is just the Firebird turret from tanki online
you look like grian, pretty epic :D
Someone acidentaly dropped a rock on the trigger of the flamethrower tank
Cordite? Yeah, let's use the powder responsible for blowing up three battlecruisers in a relatively tiny tank.
Imagine having to move this massive heavy tank from island to island just for a flame thrower when a man can hold it
But he can't stroll casualty through machine gun fire.
there's a reason, a man with a flamethrower is squishy and very much doesn't like being shot with bullets, and there is plenty of risk of that when you have to carry a flamethrower close enough to burn something while an MG is happily shooting at you from a bunker . A tank on the other hand doesn't really car about rifle bullets and the japanese had barely any AT weapons that could hurt a Matilda, also being a vehicle it can carry a bigger flamethrower with better range and more fuel
SAVE THE FROGS SAVE THE FROGS!
they should of called it the bushfire tank lol
Which would you say is better the Crocodile or the Frog?
I am obviously choosing the Crocodile.
Well it kinda depends.
Lighter, smaller tank for tight and bushy spaces.
Or
A heavier, larger tank for fields and flushing out bunkers
The crocodile is better but it again depends
It reminds me of Dragon Tank
Now we just wait for Gaijin to add it as an overpriced british premium at 2.3
Alright wg, Legendary camo, let's see it
Australian wildlife sure be different
Tracked frogs with flamethrower, sure, Australian wildlife
Frog? I'd call it a Chazzwozza I would!
Crouching Matilda hidden Dragon
YAY an AUSSIE tank Could you do a cursed by design on the soviet twin Gun tanks?
Sentinel III/IV?
The SMK
Out of Curiosity, Is it possible to significantly improve the Matilda's mobility just by changing its engine to something more powerful and without that speed limiter?
As for how many Flamer tanks left I think there is 3 or 5 still left in Australia
Can I make an evil joke about Australia's flammable greenery?
What the Adelaide Hills?
OMG Froggies!
you should do cursed by design for planes.
Matilda Frog Schmatilda. Should have been called wyvern or drake.
> The tank has quite a successful operation
> Cursed
Cone, if you haven't pushed out the Osório video before this, I would call this video a fraud.
Did you not watch till the end? I explained my reasoning.
@@ConeOfArc I did. I just made a joke and by no mean serious or offend.
This is blessed by design idk what you mean
