Can we stop saying every anti tank gun was an 88mm. The pak40 long barreled 75mm was as effective, way easier to use and freed up 88mm production to focus on their antiaircraft role because they were being hammered by the continuous bombing.
Maybe they did encountered a 88 mm.
Why can't they simply say "German high velocity gun"?
"88" had become the generic term for German HV anti-tank guns with Allied troops, who may have believed they were all 88's. All of the longer barreled high velocity German guns did the same thing to opposing tanks regardless of the specific caliber.
I guess the 37mm was phased out at this point, but yeah, the 75 and many captured 76mm zis' far outnumber 88s
I feel ya😂 wasn’t it actually an OG anti aircraft, flack flack gun? Either way it needs to be nerfed at this point bro 😂
15 minutes in they've talked about the 75mm gun on the Panzer IV and they talked about encountering the 88mm flak gun, which is the anti tank gun these men encountered. I don't see where your complaint has any validity whatsoever.
Excellent content. ty. o7
Respect to the vets they know best as they were there. But the people behind making the documentary itself. The jagdtiger was the biggest tank the Germans built that was in active service. The Maus was the biggest tank they done but didn't see service.
The Pershing "must outflank the Panther" to defeat it?
Not really. It could penetrate it from long range frontally. But it's tank warfare 101 by 1945 to outflank whenever possible to gain advantage and decrease chances the shot will bounce.
Weird how they describe the effective thickness of the Panther frontal armor due to slope, but fail to mention the Pershing's armor slope at all.
And they keep referring to the Panther as a medium tank when it was actually a heavy.
They like to keep that German "super panzer" mojo going. Lol.
And oh yeah, the WW II gyrostabilizer was not well liked by American tank crews (who usually turned it off), and was eliminated on Pershing to make room and save weight. The Pershing scored a hit because the gunner was a good shot.
Not a lot of crews were trained properly to use the stabilizer. Those that were found it to be pretty good.
@@brennanleadbetter9708Undoubtedly. Most apparently did not know how to use it, by accounts, hence the general disdain. So it was deleted on Pershing to help make room for the extra ammo storage the Army insisted on.
Given the limits of the technology at the time, no one apparently missed it.
My dad was at the battle of the bulge. In the 91 Gulf War, I was in the 3rd army spearhead division
Dude! Wicked! Please tell me more friend 😮
@Lybarger12b my dad told me how him and three other men would pry the tracks off the drive socket of a panzer using there rifles then pull the pin to a hand grenade count to 2 or 3 and through it in the hatch
Love when my man is talking about the pershing with a total hard on mentally and physically lol
A wonderful historical coverage documentary about allies offensive operations to invade Germany during WW2... where quantitative superiority of US Sharman tanks and Pershing hell fires over runners of good qualitative of tiger tanks and long range & accuracy of 88 flank guns of Germany....at the end US Super Pershing tank finished the job ...besides Germans fought stubbornly and furiously...on theirs fatherland sovereignty
Super Pershing barely saw combat
Just like Britain's Home Guard, a lot of those older men that were called up for Germany's defense would have been 1st World War veterans, so better trained than you might think.
The Siegfried Line was nothing like the Maginot Line - it was a in depth defense system of various seperate modules that could be used dynamically - while the maginot line was one straight fortified and rigid defense line, that was useless once broken through. The Siegfried line was tactically a total different beast than the maginot line - the complete opposite of military strategy and thinking.
The story with dragons teeth shows once again that every fortifications without covering artillery fire and defending troops are useless
this channel rivals timeline for most asinine audio mix
Ha ha ha, what about Kursk battle?
Exactly
Russian military deaths 7000000, civilians 20 +, genius production and heroic people
There are literally two episodes of this show about Kursk. One for the northern pincer, one for the southern pincer. So now what, every other tank battle should be ignored?
Where are the planes? Tanks finds the 88's and planes take them out.
The Sherman tank with its short barrel low velocity gun and a hit range of only 800 meters was an easy target for German Panthers and Tigers. But! Fighting them would be relatively easy for Germans if they had strategic initiative. Then they would use their Tiger tanks as spearheads of attacks and everything would go fine - just as they easily struck down thousands of obsolete Russian tanks at the beginning of the war. But at the end of the war the strategic initiative was firmly held by the Allies. They decided where and when to deal a crushing blow. And Germans were forced to use their precious Tigers in purely anti-tank role. And here the law of big numbers worked: as Russians as Americans produced their T-34s and Shermans literally by thousands. And German Tigers couldn't be everywhere. They were constantly outmaneuvered, lost of gas and ammunition and trivially broke. Yes, German Panzer aces could achieve extraordinary results here or there but for the allies it didn't have any significance. The result was inexorable defeat.
The German army was very good with our equipment. Id put money on the Germans to beat any one. Tuff guys hu one on one. Id love to see you beat us. We fought the world 🌎
how much do you beat ... i will accept Philippines.
The Kursk battle and other eastern front engagements made these tank battles pale in comparison.
Western front was R&R for German army
Aachen: 80.000 U.S.troops,300 tanks vs.18.000 with 60 tanks.Who fought the heroic battle?
Typical U.S.,the enemy is so mighty,they want us to believe ,always the same. They only win, against week forces.
The winner writes the history.
