Can you please make a video about the battle of castle itter ? It is a very important battle As well if you do happen to make a video on it You and your team would be the first to ever have an animation about the Battle of castle itter I know a little bit about this battle but, it is a very important battle in history , to the same equivalency as the one time that the British and Germans during world war I celebrated Christmas together in the no mans land instead of shooting each other across it

Yeah do you think that way about the Civil War I don't think many people do and if they did they would realize that Abraham Lincoln had the same War goals as Adolf Hitler the destruction of another culture just because he disliked it that war was never about slavery if it was why did the Union still have slaves 7 years after the Confederacy was defeated simple it wasn't about slavery it was about genocide the Confederacy was right the union was genocidal
@@utrock5067if you are referring to the Soviets and Nazis then yes both committed countless genocides which is precisely why I literally have no sympathy for either side I simply respect the Germans more the people of Germany had a reason to be pissed I'd be pissed too hell I am pissed the Yankees came down south committed genocide and Mass rape and still owning slaves 7 years after the Confederacy was defeated and they're called the good guys
You should do another episode about the battle of Kursk about the Tiger that refused to die. There was one Tiger that went into battle, got hit by tank guns, anti tank rifles, had it's Mg destroyed, the main gun got hit and froze in place, the fuel and oil tank ruptured but it survived the battle and later returned to base pulling a thick black line of fuel and oil behind it. Imagine being a soviet soldier: you threw everything against that one tank then it turns around and drives home.
It was BS. Nazi propaganda that the gullible swallow without doing any research. The Nazis made many ridiculous claims that didn't match anything in reality. I suggest you do some research and find the truth.
It wasn´t only the Tiger itself that was lethal, what made it so effective was their crews. They´ve been chosen pretty meticulously amongst many other tank crews. Deadly combination, excellent machinery and top notch skills.
Like how some people can drive cars and some people manage to go in the ditch on a sunny Sunday afternoon. More relative to me, forklift skill varies a huge amount even among skilled drivers. Elite tank operators are just like anything else, the best of the best. So yeah the Tiger gets a little more credit than it's due. A good machine though is a good machine, and there's a lot of differences.
Deciding tiger crews was understandably picky, there were only about 1,000 of them produced total. A good crew can make any tank seem like an absolute powerhouse, but the Tiger’s scarily effective armor and range combed with the experienced crew made Tigers scary to fight for a reason. I do think the tank itself gets some undeserved credit that the crew really earned.
@@ravenwing199 I worded it really poorly, the tigers armor was good because it could avoid being penetrated IF the Tiger was positioned in a sniping position, which was where Tigers excelled at because of its powerful long range gun. Up close the Tiger could maybe take few good hits to the front before going down because it didn’t suffer from bursting into flames over what would be a non lethal hit like the Sherman tank did
@@paulgrundy6864 Ok. Yeah that's pretty accurate but I would note that the Tigers were no less flammable but rather they were on the defensive. A disabled Sherman would be shot until it burned to avoid repairing it. A disabled Tiger was captured and couldn't be repaired by the Germans.

At first, I am like, "Hell yeah, Tiger, get them!", with Staudegger doing cool one-liners and coming up as a battle hero... ...but then we see the Russian perspective, begin rooting for Raigorodskii, and, suddenly, the VERY Tiger tank shot seen earlier through the German perspective as a glorious moment hits his tank and kills him and his crew, and the moment goes from feeling glorious, to just... sad.

@@numalesoybea1348 Not really they weren't. German aircraft were top notch for a majority of the war.

But until then, when aircraft like the Tempest started to see major service, Bf109s and Fw190 were among the most fearsome aircraft above european skies.
People misunderstand the effectiveness of HE against armor. Besides the things from video games such as overpressure, a 88mm high explosive round will destroy machinery inside the vehicle in proximity to the impact, will absolutely screw over the crew inside from the energy dispersed through the tank from the impact and explosion whilst also if hitting in any area with top armor such as the area next to the turret will let the explosion blow through the thinner armor plating into the vehicle causing fire and spalling to enter the vehicle. HESH was made as for one with this principle utilizing large calibers to maximise the effect of the squash heads.
I must say, the quality and level of detail in these animations are the best so far! Once again, a brilliant war story and animation, well done, Yarnhub.
Its mad to see how far these videos have come i watched a video from about a year ago and the quality has picked up massively please keep up the amazing work
Yeah the T-34-76 (I think it’s a 76) sucked mostly but I don’t think it would have been destroyed on the frontal armor with HE but then again it’s a 88mm
@@F.R.E.D.D2986 it was so "terrible", the Germans made the Panther as reaction to counter it. In fact the T-34 had his issues, but a 76mm gun was enough to counter all German tanks of its time. It could possibly penetrate a Tiger I armor. Also the angled armor of the T34 was quite successful. But on the Internet you will read a lot of Bullshit when it comes to tanks, especially with "it could not deal with a Tiger". Even a lot of people consider the Sherman as a bad tank because of this. Fun fact: Most tanks are not meant to deal with a tank, espcially not a heavy one. Tanks have a lot of different battlefield tasks. Also there have been only 1500 Tigers and a few hundred Tiger II. Most bridges and port cranes at these times could not deal with more than 30 tons, so it is stupid to blame advancing armies likes the late war Sowjets and US for not using much heavy stuff. So the T34 and the Sherman in all its variants have been quite successfull tanks of there time.
You mean IS-2 as this was the only tank capable of deflecting the 88mm shells, why? because the early IS series and Kv series tanks had atrocious fire rates and loading mechanisms and optics and overall combat effectiveness that had no protection with the combat ranges the tiger could fire at them and penetrate, while they had to close the gap and yet not know what or where they were being fired from. IS-2 is superior to Tiger 1 in the shell size penetration, range of gun, and armour (frontally). However the accuracy, fire rate and optics as well as combat effectiveness was no where near as effective as even the least unreliable tank of the Germans the tiger 2 (that says something) @@Красиваясоветскаядевушка
Exactly, but still the loading time was atrocious, it was even worse with the IS-2 obr.1944 (early) which had the double loading mechanism before being loaded in the breach. Plus the optics were better, however not German 9c turmzielfehrnrohr optics good and worse is that generally the tiger 1 could penetrate at 1000m a distance the IS-2 still had trouble seeing at. Win goes to tiger @@KerlixxChannel
Too bad it was prone to break down, too little in numbers, just as vulnerable as any other tank to AT mines and easily destroyed when flanked or in air attacks.
I would love it if Yarnhub did a video on the Monchy 9 of Newfoundland. 9 men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment positioned at Monchy-le-Preux during the Battle of Arras in 1917 hid behind shrubbery and defended the town from a German force anywhere from 200 - 300 men strong for 11 hours to prevent a German break through. I think it is a very cool and very underrated battle that sounds like the plot of a movie.
@@samuelgordino The Newfoundland Regiment had been almost wiped out. When roll call was taken, only 68 men answered their names - 324 were killed, or missing and presumed dead, and 386 were wounded.
The largest tank battle of World War 2 took place not near Prokhorovka (Kursk), but near Brody in 1941. Correct. The Battle of Brody (other names in use include Battle of Dubna, Battle of Dubno, Battle of Rovne, Battle of Rovne-Brody) was a tank battle fought between the 1st Panzer Group's III Army Corps and XLVIII Army Corps (Motorized) and five mechanized corps of the Soviet 5th Army and 6th Army in the triangle formed by the towns of Dubno, Lutsk and Brody between 23 and 30 June 1941.
@The.National.Socialist thats because Germans produced lesser tanks than Soviets who were just pumping out mass produced tanks.out of the 1400 tigers hardly 6 remain out of which only one is operational remaining all were completely destroyed of abandoned by their own crew due to the beautiful fuel efficiency and reliabilty and Soviet aces like Oskin destroyed 3 king tigers in ogledow using inferior t34 85 out of 500 king tigers produced.if Germans produced more,Soviet kill counts too will be greater.also German kill counts were highly inflated for propoganda and you can see that right in this video's end
@The.National.Socialist my n@zi kameraden if you need to win a war you need a large quantity of tanks.tank on tank engagements were rare and the primary role of the tank was to support infantry and storm strongpoints.in this role,the Soviets required large numbers of tanks to supply their vast infantry units.the t34 might have not been the best but it got the job done and was always there to support infantry attacks unlike tigers for instance which were rare.German propoganda inflated kill counts and you can see that right there in the end of the video concerning staudeggers kills a brilliant example of how Germans counted kills.and only 3 king tigers because there were only 500 produced which is shabby when compared to 50,000+ t34
@The.National.Socialist my Nazi kameraden it the Soviets who are attacking here and not the Germans and most German tankers would just lay in a position and attack the soviet tanks ambushing was the prime strategy of aces like wittmann and carius.kolobanov confronted 22 tanks repeatedly received fire from panzers but none of them penetrated
Great idea to use both perspectives, kind of wished you added in the t-70 tanks you mentioned but were not in the video which was a bit confusing. As well as some of the Tiger's turret movement but a bit jittery. Other than that tad criticism great video!
The Soviets actually acknowledged their losses but the problem is who the kills are credited to. Since it's a general attack I am more into the Soviet perspective which accounts for multiple guns/artillery/tanks instead of just one Tiger tank with no support or whatsoever. Great video as always!
The other thing is that Germany used a lot of propaganda, so a lot of things, especially in the later war, is made up from real events Edit: I am well aware that the Soviet Union and Russia uses a shitton of propaganda
Actually German propaganda tried to make the SS look good. So I really doubt the German perspective. But none the less, having 10 kills a day would be fine as well.
I've been watching your videos since the OG Red Baron. And here you are now guys, little by little getting close to 1 million subscribers. Today at my break, watching this masterpiece, a curious coworker thought I was watching a movie, surprised at the quality of the video. Hopefully that's another person subscribed. Keep your outstanding work.
I really like the perspectives and the use of German and Russian language here, great job. It's interesting that a lot of the understanding of Kursk as a whole has come from Soviet sources that have only recently begun to be challenged as unreliable. There are also some German-led myths that pervade to this day, such as the idea that the offensive was called off because Hitler diverted units to Southern Italy. I think in this case it's fairly apparent the Germans embellished the role of Staudegger (who died in 1995, not 1991) for propaganda purposes, but the overall nature of the battle was more or less as they depicted it.
Я русский. Друг моего деда был артиллеристом в той войне. В чем именно их мемуары " Не надежные " И " Сомнительные". Да, тигр взять в лоб т34 в 43 году не мог. Вот только под Курском большую долю машин немцев подожгли противотанковые пушки и авиация ил 2. У последнего в 43 году появились кумулятивные бомбы. Причем РККА в 43 году поменяла противотанковую тактику на опорные пункты обороны вместо сплошных линий. Поэтому немцам и не удалось окружить Курск. Ибо на борьбу с танками направили и зенитки и самолеты с танками. Причем после того Как тигры сожгли корпус генерала Кравченко, тут же было приказано откопать т34 рядом с артиллерией и пехотой. И это принесли результат. Так что не стоит думать, что немецкие танки утонули в массе советских трупов как в фильме " Враг у ворот".уже после Курска, под Харьковом, немцы собрали остатки их тигров и пантера и попытались отбросить от города РККА. Те их разбили на голову.
One of your best video! Everything is perfect!m Narration, both sides perspectives, and especially the animation of the combat who is a must! Congrats to the whole team !
Brilliant as usual. Your animation just keeps improving. I like the perspective thing and I like how you tell both sides of war. Keep up the great work.
i watch your videos alot and show it to my dad too, who found it amazing (he is very picky when watching anything). your work is the best ive seen to date.
The only thing that worked out well for me was the German tank commander,(8:03) especially the Tiger tank commander would never turn the tank sideways as you see in the video, the clover leaf method was used for this, thanks to which the commander knew at what angle he could allow himself to approach the enemy tank.
This was a fantastic video, if y'all would be open to suggestions I would love an episode recounting the Italians in the war, perhaps the Devil Commander Amedeo Guillet, Unatu Endisciau, the action at Bir El Gubi, or the many kerfuffles the Folgore took part in.
Yarnhub really did a good job, I must say that from all the videos he really learnt how to make graphics more realistic, tho without or graphics Yarnhub manages to make amazing history videos, good job and keep it up!
I think it would be interesting if you did videos covering stories from the smaller powers in WW2 - Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Greece, Yugoslavia, etc. They had very interesting stories that barely anyone hears about just because they are from the less well known countries, and all stories should have the chance to be told and remembered.
The Tiger-(H1) has 3 critical weaknesses in the side armor because the bullets are stored there with the square armor and the roof armor is easy for aircraft like IL-2 to shoot through the armor on the roof
Amazing animation man! I always see your videos in my recomendation bar, and each time I click on your videos, I keep watching it until the end. Great work pal!🫡
This is one of the most best channels for military tanks and military airplanes of my life and totally the best history channel for the world war 1 though 2 with my favorite type of tanks including my lifetime favorite dead monster itself the German tiger tank

Besides the things from video games such as overpressure, a 88mm high explosive round will destroy machinery inside the vehicle in proximity to the impact, will absolutely screw over the crew inside from the energy dispersed through the tank from the impact and explosion whilst also if hitting in any area with top armor such as the area next to the turret will let the explosion blow through the thinner armor plating into the vehicle causing fire and spalling to enter the vehicle. HESH was made as for one with this principle utilizing large calibers to maximise the effect of the squash heads.
I must say, the quality and level of detail in these animations are the best so far! Once again, a brilliant war story and animation, well done, Yarnhub.
Its mad to see how far these videos have come i watched a video from about a year ago and the quality has picked up massively please keep up the amazing work
6:16 he just said it so calmly 😂😂
6:15
Even if the German tank commander didn't get all the kills, he and his crew still did good despite being outnumbered.
The T-34 was terrible, it is not a surprise
@@F.R.E.D.D2986 Why does everyone say they are good?! like they were in theory but they were rush produced and I bet poorly trained crews
Yeah the T-34-76 (I think it’s a 76) sucked mostly but I don’t think it would have been destroyed on the frontal armor with HE but then again it’s a 88mm
@@mr_kb1420yea its the t34 76 confir ed in the video
@@F.R.E.D.D2986 it was so "terrible", the Germans made the Panther as reaction to counter it.
In fact the T-34 had his issues, but a 76mm gun was enough to counter all German tanks of its time. It could possibly penetrate a Tiger I armor. Also the angled armor of the T34 was quite successful.
But on the Internet you will read a lot of Bullshit when it comes to tanks, especially with "it could not deal with a Tiger". Even a lot of people consider the Sherman as a bad tank because of this.
Fun fact: Most tanks are not meant to deal with a tank, espcially not a heavy one. Tanks have a lot of different battlefield tasks. Also there have been only 1500 Tigers and a few hundred Tiger II.
Most bridges and port cranes at these times could not deal with more than 30 tons, so it is stupid to blame advancing armies likes the late war Sowjets and US for not using much heavy stuff.
So the T34 and the Sherman in all its variants have been quite successfull tanks of there time.
The Soviets had a saying:
-A T-34 always tips its hat to a tiger. Due to the Tiger tank usually popping the turrets off of T-34’s!
IS-1 joining the game:
T34 85
You mean IS-2 as this was the only tank capable of deflecting the 88mm shells, why? because the early IS series and Kv series tanks had atrocious fire rates and loading mechanisms and optics and overall combat effectiveness that had no protection with the combat ranges the tiger could fire at them and penetrate, while they had to close the gap and yet not know what or where they were being fired from.
IS-2 is superior to Tiger 1 in the shell size penetration, range of gun, and armour (frontally). However the accuracy, fire rate and optics as well as combat effectiveness was no where near as effective as even the least unreliable tank of the Germans the tiger 2 (that says something) @@Красиваясоветскаядевушка
Is-2..
Exactly, but still the loading time was atrocious, it was even worse with the IS-2 obr.1944 (early) which had the double loading mechanism before being loaded in the breach. Plus the optics were better, however not German 9c turmzielfehrnrohr optics good and worse is that generally the tiger 1 could penetrate at 1000m a distance the IS-2 still had trouble seeing at.
Win goes to tiger @@KerlixxChannel
At 5:04 you can see the gunner aiming at the turret ring, he is a certified warthunder player
It's engine roars,
It's gun can peirce the thickest of armour,
It's armour is inpenertrable,
It's the mighty Tiger I
Too bad it was prone to break down, too little in numbers, just as vulnerable as any other tank to AT mines and easily destroyed when flanked or in air attacks.
Why did you spam it three times
@@alfiebutterworth-cu4ys Don’t know, looks like some connection issue. I’ll fix it.

It's only one comment now
Not only is your animation so amazing but on explaining the details of many warfare and showing the soldiers perspectives in their battle, Keep it up.
Crew:”Sir all enemies around us,we are in danger”
Captain :“Yes they are!”
The quality of content and animation makes this channel outstanding.
The main weakness of the soviet tanks in world War 2 was the lack of communication between tanks
I LOVE the addition of the actual photo's taken during the war. Keep up the great enjoyable video's!
I would love it if Yarnhub did a video on the Monchy 9 of Newfoundland. 9 men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment positioned at Monchy-le-Preux during the Battle of Arras in 1917 hid behind shrubbery and defended the town from a German force anywhere from 200 - 300 men strong for 11 hours to prevent a German break through. I think it is a very cool and very underrated battle that sounds like the plot of a movie.
I would love to see that!
Is that the same regiment destroyed on the first day of the battle of the Somme ?
@@samuelgordino The Newfoundland Regiment had been almost wiped out. When roll call was taken, only 68 men answered their names - 324 were killed, or missing and presumed dead, and 386 were wounded.
1:14 war thunder mentioned
lol
The largest tank battle of World War 2 took place not near Prokhorovka (Kursk), but near Brody in 1941. Correct. The Battle of Brody (other names in use include Battle of Dubna, Battle of Dubno, Battle of Rovne, Battle of Rovne-Brody) was a tank battle fought between the 1st Panzer Group's III Army Corps and XLVIII Army Corps (Motorized) and five mechanized corps of the Soviet 5th Army and 6th Army in the triangle formed by the towns of Dubno, Lutsk and Brody between 23 and 30 June 1941.
this is movie level quality. you became insanely high quality. What a channel. Thanks, chaps.
Who's watching this as the second battle of Kursk is happening?
What a time to probably be alive.
Staudegger’s cat: a Tiger doesn’t exist if I can’t see it through the bushes
I thought the sponsor was going to be War Thunder after you said "...in the thunder of war"
Damn it’s incredible how much you’re animating skills have advanced, keep up the incredible work man!
12:00 Brilliant, I love that you put both perspectives
The split perspective is a fantastic idea. You really get the whole story from both sides.
Staudegger was like" Its hunting season boys
Staudegger: I am not trapped in a battlefield full of Soviets, You are all trapped in here with me! 💥
Kolobanov who too destroyed 22 tanks like staudegger:finally a worthy opponent
@The.National.Socialist thats because Germans produced lesser tanks than Soviets who were just pumping out mass produced tanks.out of the 1400 tigers hardly 6 remain out of which only one is operational remaining all were completely destroyed of abandoned by their own crew due to the beautiful fuel efficiency and reliabilty and Soviet aces like Oskin destroyed 3 king tigers in ogledow using inferior t34 85 out of 500 king tigers produced.if Germans produced more,Soviet kill counts too will be greater.also German kill counts were highly inflated for propoganda and you can see that right in this video's end
@The.National.Socialist my n@zi kameraden if you need to win a war you need a large quantity of tanks.tank on tank engagements were rare and the primary role of the tank was to support infantry and storm strongpoints.in this role,the Soviets required large numbers of tanks to supply their vast infantry units.the t34 might have not been the best but it got the job done and was always there to support infantry attacks unlike tigers for instance which were rare.German propoganda inflated kill counts and you can see that right there in the end of the video concerning staudeggers kills a brilliant example of how Germans counted kills.and only 3 king tigers because there were only 500 produced which is shabby when compared to 50,000+ t34
@The.National.Socialist my Nazi kameraden it the Soviets who are attacking here and not the Germans and most German tankers would just lay in a position and attack the soviet tanks ambushing was the prime strategy of aces like wittmann and carius.kolobanov confronted 22 tanks repeatedly received fire from panzers but none of them penetrated

A natsoc and a commie are having a debate
Amazing video!!! I love watching detailed videos like this and I was searching for so long for a TH-cam channel like yours. Very amazing work
Great idea to use both perspectives, kind of wished you added in the t-70 tanks you mentioned but were not in the video which was a bit confusing. As well as some of the Tiger's turret movement but a bit jittery. Other than that tad criticism great video!
The Soviets actually acknowledged their losses but the problem is who the kills are credited to. Since it's a general attack I am more into the Soviet perspective which accounts for multiple guns/artillery/tanks instead of just one Tiger tank with no support or whatsoever. Great video as always!
The other thing is that Germany used a lot of propaganda, so a lot of things, especially in the later war, is made up from real events
Edit: I am well aware that the Soviet Union and Russia uses a shitton of propaganda
Well one very unbelievable thing about the Soviet perspective is that the T-34s had radios... in real life, very, very few T-34s had radios.
LMao the german side is pure nonsense
Actually German propaganda tried to make the SS look good. So I really doubt the German perspective. But none the less, having 10 kills a day would be fine as well.
@@F.R.E.D.D2986
Must be one fancy a$$ T-34.
The Tiger's crew: But sir, we have damaged suspension!

I've been watching your videos since the OG Red Baron. And here you are now guys, little by little getting close to 1 million subscribers. Today at my break, watching this masterpiece, a curious coworker thought I was watching a movie, surprised at the quality of the video. Hopefully that's another person subscribed.
Keep your outstanding work.

Stalinium not working

@@alikumail1985 Maybe the real stalinium was all the conscripts we killed along the way
this is what gaijin doesnt wants you to know
I really like the perspectives and the use of German and Russian language here, great job.
It's interesting that a lot of the understanding of Kursk as a whole has come from Soviet sources that have only recently begun to be challenged as unreliable. There are also some German-led myths that pervade to this day, such as the idea that the offensive was called off because Hitler diverted units to Southern Italy.
I think in this case it's fairly apparent the Germans embellished the role of Staudegger (who died in 1995, not 1991) for propaganda purposes, but the overall nature of the battle was more or less as they depicted it.
Я русский. Друг моего деда был артиллеристом в той войне. В чем именно их мемуары " Не надежные " И " Сомнительные". Да, тигр взять в лоб т34 в 43 году не мог. Вот только под Курском большую долю машин немцев подожгли противотанковые пушки и авиация ил 2. У последнего в 43 году появились кумулятивные бомбы. Причем РККА в 43 году поменяла противотанковую тактику на опорные пункты обороны вместо сплошных линий. Поэтому немцам и не удалось окружить Курск. Ибо на борьбу с танками направили и зенитки и самолеты с танками. Причем после того Как тигры сожгли корпус генерала Кравченко, тут же было приказано откопать т34 рядом с артиллерией и пехотой. И это принесли результат. Так что не стоит думать, что немецкие танки утонули в массе советских трупов как в фильме " Враг у ворот".уже после Курска, под Харьковом, немцы собрали остатки их тигров и пантера и попытались отбросить от города РККА. Те их разбили на голову.
My favorite part is the real life pictures transposed over the video. Reminds me that this isn't a video game but real life

i love the way you mix the animation with historical pictures, its great!
Tiger is surrounded with enemy tanks

A perfect example of Quality vs Quantity
One of your best video! Everything is perfect!m Narration, both sides perspectives, and especially the animation of the combat who is a must! Congrats to the whole team !
The growth of this channel and production value is insane
I love these videos man! Keep up the great work!

Simply masterful stroytelling! Bravo

Brilliant as usual. Your animation just keeps improving. I like the perspective thing and I like how you tell both sides of war. Keep up the great work.
タイガー戦車が強かった理由は、当時の戦車の作りにあるのですが、全面装甲はその戦車が搭載している砲塔の弾に耐えられる物を持っていました。
つまりは、タイガー戦車の前面装甲を撃ち抜きたければ88ミリ弾頭以上のサイズの砲弾を打ち込まなければ破れませんでした。
もしくは後ろに周って弱点であるエンジンに一撃与えるしかないです。
dang those T34 really got uptiered. this animation was amazing! not to mention the story telling as well!
i watch your videos alot and show it to my dad too, who found it amazing (he is very picky when watching anything). your work is the best ive seen to date.
The only thing that worked out well for me was the German tank commander,(8:03) especially the Tiger tank commander would never turn the tank sideways as you see in the video, the clover leaf method was used for this, thanks to which the commander knew at what angle he could allow himself to approach the enemy tank.
I do love these ww2 animations! Keep it up yarnhub, you never fail us!
Gorgeous animation as always. I reall😢🎉y want to thank your team for high quality videos you make for us!
Aquí si aplica la frase que dice :

This was a fantastic video, if y'all would be open to suggestions I would love an episode recounting the Italians in the war, perhaps the Devil Commander Amedeo Guillet, Unatu Endisciau, the action at Bir El Gubi, or the many kerfuffles the Folgore took part in.
Your animation is really improving! That tiger looked 🔥🔥🔥
Rest in peace, Franz Staudegger. I thank you and your crew for your service.
He was part of the SS, not the Wehrmacht. They will only rest in hell
That one scene where the real photo intertwined with the animation looks fine af. Great job guys!
YES I’ve been waiting for you guys to cover this story!!! Amazing.
2:20 Got to hand it to the Germans…best dressed soldiers. I know this is simulation, but the Tiger crews did always look sharp and well-scrubbed.
Yarnhub really did a good job, I must say that from all the videos he really learnt how to make graphics more realistic, tho without or graphics Yarnhub manages to make amazing history videos, good job and keep it up!
Yooo brother

"A thunder of war"
WAR THUNDER????? EVEN IN HISTORICAL VIDEOS YOU HAUNT ME!
There is no escape
I think it would be interesting if you did videos covering stories from the smaller powers in WW2 - Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Greece, Yugoslavia, etc. They had very interesting stories that barely anyone hears about just because they are from the less well known countries, and all stories should have the chance to be told and remembered.
Super video, very well edited and produced!!!
The Tiger-(H1) has 3 critical weaknesses in the side armor because the bullets are stored there with the square armor and the roof armor is easy for aircraft like IL-2 to shoot through the armor on the roof
They can research and animate such great stories so much faster than me posting a 30 second Roblox skit.
Amazing animation man! I always see your videos in my recomendation bar, and each time I click on your videos, I keep watching it until the end. Great work pal!🫡
