Thanx, very great video. I'm interested in the Landverks because a soldier of my small town was a driver of a Landsverk on the airfield of Ypenburg. His vehicle was hit and he was injured and about three weeks later died in a hospital in The Hague. We live in a street of this little town named in his honour. So if a video of Ypenburg will come some time, that would be great.
a typical 1930ies armoured car, really only suitable for police use. the off-road capabilities were about 0, with those skinny massive tires and onlythe rear axles driven.....
For reason of Versailles Treaty, with which intelligent Allied Powers caused wwll, Germany had only allowness for 150 Poliizeisonderwagen, a term abbandoned a few years ago. Those vehicles had been build in three types, in Panzermuseum Munster last existing vehicle is on display. Those police armoured cars had been armed with a single machine gun, they had been high, that rioters had problems to climb them, and they had been heavy to put away barricades.
@@LeanderJobse A pilot from that time told me, this is how I know. Now, it could always be that he was mistaken in the vehicle name for example. But there were indeed 2 armored vehicles at airbase Leeuwarden
@@SIG442 It's an interesting account but I find it hard to believe. All dutch armored vehicles are accounted for and all were deployed elsewhere. The grass runway of Leeuwarden was barricaded and garrisoned by just one section of the 4th depot company of the 9th depot battalion (S.-4-9e Dep. Bat.). It was commanded by 2nd Lieutenant G. Nauta and further consisted of 3 Sergeants, 3 Corporals, and 21 soldiers. In their war report, no armor is mentioned. On 10 May, at 4.30 in the morning, the airfield was ordered to be made unusable and the section left around 11.30
The more I read about the military situation in Eastern Europe countries in Interwar Period, the more I realise, that it was over for them before it even began. Maybe expect for Poland and Czechoslovakia, they had some chance, but it would be monumental effort for them to prepare enough. Both failed at it, in the end.
Estonia got the L-180 with a turret very similar to that of the single L-182 that was delivered to Finland. There is a photo of the Estonian L-180 after capture by the German Army!
yes, though not very well, it basically the bare minimum armour that can stop ball ammunition from a rifle or machine gun (full-power rounds) again AP rifle, only at a few 100 metres since to effetively protect at all ranges, you'd need about 12mm (0.5")
Sounds nothing like AI. I see this all the time now, someone posts a video with clearly spoken English and everyone just thinks it sounds like AI. There's no weirdly monotone voice, or audible glitching, or that weird 'vocoded' noise that you get with AI audio....
Ireland also had some of these armoured car.🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
The Cav squadron FCA in Griffith Barracks had them in the mid-70's , I remember seeing 3 of them driving on Kylemore road about 1975-76.
As for tradition :
LITHUANIA MENTIONED
Jokes aside it's really fun to see Lithuania in a video
Everyone likes vehicles that are practical and reliable
Also supplied to Ireland
Someone has not done their research properly. Germany confiscated a couple off a merchant ship en route to Ireland, which had ordered them.

Ireland got 180s, we'll cover those some other time. This article is about the 181s.

These things are super cool. Use in armored recon or police units.
There were also some Dutch armoured vehicles active east of the Grebbeline. There they were active with delaying actions. They performed adequately.

It makes you wonder what the hell the police would need a 37mm cannon for

But good enough for patrolling airfields.
@@bromine_35canister shots and emergency anti-tank vehicle
@@TrzeciaWspolnota sure, stuff like that.
Cool rig
My great grandfather took part in the defence of Schiphol to think he may have seen some of these there.
There were 2 at Airbase Leeuwarden as well. These were however used as AA units and got destroyed 1 day before surrender.
Do you mean Waalhaven Airfield? I've never seen reports about armored vehicles at Leeuwarden

I am afraid this is another example of how anecdotal evidence years after the events are very unreliable. @@SIG442

very nice!
Nice video
You should make video on Overvalwagen armored truck of Netherlands. Some of these fell into Japanese hands in WW2.
I think one of them was found destroyed during the Battle of Berlin used by the Germans.
Why assume they were bought as a deterrent and not you know, for fighting?
Estonian police bought one L-181 in 1938. It was taken over by Soviets 1941. It's not known what happened it after 1940.
Estonia got the L-180 with a turret very similar to that of the single L-182 that was delivered to Finland. There is a photo of the Estonian L-180 after capture by the German Army!
Fun Fact: German paratroopers captured the bridge of Arnheim.
Eh .. no… it was moerdijk.. Dordrecht
Very nice
Ok , so i made this coment on the website before. But...If you ever need help translating anything Danish, give me a "Hey"
4:04 lithuAAAnia
Booty. Beute.. Hmm!!!
0:45- narration says in reference to Lithuanian and the Netherlands ‘both were subsequently occupied by Germany and the Soviet Union’. Uhm…
He was correct. Lithuania was occupied by both, and the Netherlands by Germany. Poorly worded perhaps, but correct.
Germany invaded Netherlands, USSR occupied Lithuania. It makes sense.
It says clearly "both were", not "bother". You might get the actual words correct if you are going to criticize wording choice.
Fixed it just for you :)
The soviet ocupation of the Netherlands...
Does 9 mm armor even protect against rifle fire?
yes, though not very well, it basically the bare minimum armour that can stop ball ammunition from a rifle or machine gun (full-power rounds)
again AP rifle, only at a few 100 metres since to effetively protect at all ranges, you'd need about 12mm (0.5")
@@quentintin1 Also this armour seems to be angled about 20-30 degrees wich gives a higher level of protection.
this is what 6 year old me drew when i drew an armored car..
its perfect!
U forgot Ireland they had some as well they were used in the Congo crisis by Irish peace keepers
Ireland employed Landsverk 180s, not 181s.
Ireland used Ford Armoured cars in the Congo Peace Keeping operation, not the Landsverks
Sweden once again supplying both sides
Not on purpose
Is this an AI narrator?
No. The narrator is credited in the description.

Thank you for sharing this
The narration sounds AI
Do correct me if I'm wrong
It isn't, TE has their own narrators, see description
@pavelalexe9254 Well, at least their voice is one for narration. I was doubtful, because it sounds _too_ good

Bad wording and country order then. AI narration?
The voice actor had been credited in the video, its obviously not AI
Air videos now
Sounds a bit like the soviet ocupation of the Netherlands.
I just read the script. XD Don't blame me for word order.
