"We have lost many brave men, but their sacrifice is not in vain. Our tanks now form a line of steel so powerful that all German resistance will be crushed beneath its mighty treads. Today - we will watch as Seelow falls. Along with all those foolish enough to stand in our way." Viktor Reznov
I live in Brisbane, Australia & the A7V tank at 14:51 ( Mephisto ) was on display at the Queensland Museum here for many decades & at one time you could actually climb over it as it was parked outside. When the museum moved over the river it went into storage & last I heard it was being restored but I have not seen it in years, it would be nice if it was put on display again as it is the only one left, to have it operational would be even better.
Mephisto surfboard dude. Re: Sherman co-driver, not just in case the primary driver got incapacitated, but during long drives with little action, both drivers could alternate so the other could have a bit of a rest.
The m4 had a high survivability rate and when the us hit Germany all the tiger tanks were on the Russian front we mostly ran into Anti think guns teams hidings in bushes btw most if not all big German cat tanks were on the Russian front
My suggestions are to do videos of cross sections of tanks such as: KV-2; M-18 Hellcat; and also a Tiger I tank. Here are couple of fun facts: 1. The second country in the world that had Sherman Tanks in big quantities was Yugoslavia. Some of these Sherman tanks that were stationed in Yugoslavia, they were used to make Yugoslav war movies. Also some US directors used these Sherman tanks when making war movies in Yugoslavia. Among them was movie Kelly Heroes, where Clint Eastwood, Donald Sutherland, and Telly Savalas were in that mentioned movie. Also in city of Novi Sad (today's Serbia) there is a Sherman tank which Donald Sutherland used it in mentioned movie. 2. After WWII, Yugoslavia made their modified versions of their T-34 tanks.Also some T-34's were rebuilt to replicate Tiger I tanks when making the Yugoslav war movies. Among these movies was movie The Battle of Sutjeska, where Richard Burton played Josip Broz Tito in the same movie. Also in Kelly's Heroes these rebuilt T-34 tanks were used there, imitating the Tiger I tanks. Somebody also told that these mentioned tanks were also used in movie Saving Private Ryan. And these are fun facts.
Not an expert but I think the Panther is more popular due to more modern recognition. I think at the time the Tiger would be the famous German tank that strikes fear into the hearts of it's enemies and the Panther was a secondary cheaper vehicle that had some neat quirks... and more flaws...
The Mk 5 Tank was only sucessful in the early stages after it's introduction, for about half a year, afterwards the German anti-tank tactics were so effective in defending against tanks that they only put a minimum effort in developing tanks themselves. The stormtrooper tactics on the other hand saw great success throughout the entire war and the entente never developed truly effective countermeasures.
There's these series of books I loved as a kid, called "Steven Biesty's Incredible Cross-sections". Incredibly educational for history and engineering. Mine had the titanic cross-section as the cover.
The only tank I’ve ridden in so far is a Stuart tank, they’re cramped, noisy and hot and with all the hatches closed you can hardly see anything outside
1:06:02 The T-34 being more reliable implies the KV-1 was the most unreliable vehicle ever made by mankind. If the T-34 is the bar for the reliability of Soviet tanks, then its amazing the USSR won the war.
Back in 1941, they were making a new tank in a couple of months. Now, they spend decades to make something revolutionary. Some will say that the old tank was easier to produce, and yes, that is partly true, but also, we have a lot more knowledge now.. So it is the same difficulty. For people in WW2, it was an achievement to create good armor. And it is the same now, but armor is more complicated. I am trying to say two things, first is if you put people under enough pressure, they will create magnificent things in a short time(for the current level of knowledge), and second, is that companies sre privately owned nowadays and they delay as much as possible to justify absurd cost od military equipment.
This repeated comment about "installing a turret never occurred to them" in relation to WW1 era tanks, assuming it was not merely sarcastic, makes little sense considering turrets had existed on ships for decades... The reason that sponson, or guns centrally mounted in the hull were the standard had far more to do with the makeshift nature of using cannons, and field artillery pieces, that were never designed to be mounted in a small tank turret, so sponsons or mounted directly into the hull simply made more sense in relation to those weapons, especially since turreted WW1 tanks did exist, such as the French Renault light tank...
The male version= the big loud boom and just needed one here in there to get its point across. Just like a man! The female version = the quick , loud version that seems like it'll never stop, and if you're on the other side, you're just praying it would stop , but you know that'll never happen. Perfect description with that of the female version. Sounds like a damn woman. 😂😂😂😂
The Sherman is my #1 favorite tank and if I was alive during ww2 it would be my tank of choice preferably M4A1 with the smaller 75mm. Edit: LMFAO 29:50 even in 2024 that's still the bane of Russian tanks.

Tank you for the awesome documentary.
As a tanker in the us military, I enjoy tank stories and tank history and as a young man I ended up enlisting to be a tanker best job ever!
Unfortunately has the highest suicide rate amongst any job in the military
Turning infantry into heroes since day one!
Thank you for your service!
@ thank you for your support!
Until your tank got hit in the side by a APFSDS
Looking at the Mark V tank reminds me of that one line that I will never ever forget (“Meet Black Bess, woman of your dreams”)
The commander had the saddest death of the game
All I gotta say is relatable. 1:01:35
Cross section videos are so great to watch. :)

Loved the video!
Nice video!
I like that in the KV 1 crosssection where he talks about the turret, the circle on the right. It reminds me of war thunder
4:20 You lost me at the 150hp Harley Davidson 😂😂
Low horsepower but massive torque.
at least they sound like they had 150hp 😭
That was informative and entertaining well done.

Great video Man. I love all your tank documentary
The earliest version of a tank i can remember are armored war elephants with ballistas on it´s back.
What about heavy knigts from europe
I love this channel ❤️
Those WWI tanks must have been pure misery to serve in.
OLDBURY MENTIONED 1:13 WOOOOO

Truly metal beasts of warfare even today
Artillery, ATGMs, RPGs, anti tank mines and other tanks would like to have a word.
@@Purplekills-ti9qh mass production refuses to talk
The m3 lees main gun was the 37mm on the top of the tank. The 57mm was used as a gun to shoot emplacements
The tiger could take out 4 shermans! But America always brought a 5th.

We wouldn't have the Fury movie with bratt Pitts if it wasn't for the fray bentos boys
Thomas fan!
The Renault FT-17 was the first tank with a gun turret.
M4 was designed for expeditionary use.
4:21 the speed is pretty accurate too
This toilet and shower theme from WWI sounds like tanks were on some multi-week mission behind enemy lines. And even today's tanks lack these perks.
There's these series of books I loved as a kid, called "Steven Biesty's Incredible Cross-sections". Incredibly educational for history and engineering. Mine had the titanic cross-section as the cover.
I have that too, love that book
Stephen Biesty is still hard at work. He draws all of his illustrations free hand.

Wait until we get the space force up and running gonna have Ironman like exosuits or halo suits flying in the sky that will be cool to see

Okay what does Cross Section mean? I tried looking it up and i dont think im finding the right definition for these videos.

Where is the tiger H1?
I did'nt know 84k T34 was made. I guess it does'nt matter how good a tank you make when the Soviets just make 100 T34 for every tank you make.
Other powerful tanks of war were the KV-2 tank, T-34 models, and the Panzer tanks.
The only powerful thing about the t 34 is the mass it got produced
