This WWII era War Department training film (TF 18-1116) shows the secondary weapons that a tank-hunting team uses to destroy tanks as well as ambush methods that assist in destroying enemy tanks. The film features what appears to be a captured Polish 7TP light tank used by the Panzerwaffe. The tank moves over a small gully and through trees (00:47). The film shows inside the tank and the view through the window slits (01:12). The tank’s turret revolves around. An illustration is used to show the “dead space” where a tank cannot fire (02:58), giving tank hunters safe zones. The film then shows the vulnerable spots on a tank, including the exposed windows in the front of the tank, periscope, turret, turret rings, tracks, idlers, and wheels (03:50).Three U.S. soldiers get out of a jeep (04:58); viewers see the weapons they use to hunt tanks: anti-tank mines, smoke grenades, and rocket grenades with a rocket launcher. The men sight in their carbines. One of them carries the rocket launcher; he shoots a piece of steel with the weapon. A soldier demonstrates throwing a smoke grenade (06:24). The three-man tank hunting team moves on foot and locates a tank. A soldier sites in the tank with the rocket launcher. When the tank is close, he shoots the tank. A tank stops on a dirt road because of tin cans out on a road (08:27)-an ambush method used for attacking tanks. A soldier drapes shelter halves across the road to stop and ambush a tank. A tank is out of gas but is hidden in the cover of some trees (10:30). The tank hunting team demonstrates how to approach and attack the tank by diverting the tank’s fire with one member while the grenade crew moves in for a high-percentage shot. The soldiers tie anti-tank mines together with heavy wire (11:31), then they camouflage the mines, and wait to pull the mines into the path of the tank once the tank moves into a position creating necessary dead space. A tank moves through a gully and the tank hunters toss smoke grenades to provide cover (12:58); a soldier takes a log and puts it between the bogey wheel and the idler wheel. The film concludes with footage of a solider shooting a rocket launcher at a tank and hitting it.

Finally someone knows how to do this. Have had an awful German Tank problem at my house for months now
The unfortunate thing for you is that a lot of this advice isn't very good.
Sounds like an infestation - can be awful buggers to shift - hope the tutorial was helpful.....
@Mr. Monitor what, like
embarrassing hand me downs or what exactly....I'm sure factors will make them blush
You mean American German tank lol 😆
Ah, you’ve got a maus problem? Hate to hear it
A lot of guys who watched this got killed because they left out the part about what to do when the tank has infantry support.
Ever heared of allied air supiriority?
Yeah even if the bomb doesnt knock out the tank it will shurely give the supporiting infanterie near it one hell of a time.
Edit: Also every weapon in the US infanterie arsenal was ether semi or fully automatic(With exception of the M1903 sniper variant). In other words they had the upper hand over the german infanterie with their K98 bolt action rifles.
Most german tanks in the earlier years of the wars fought with other tanks meanehile the infantry was behind in either halftracks or trucks but mostly in horses
@@jakobc.2558 Absolutely wrong. The Germans = FG 42 (machine gun/machine pistol), MP 40 (sub machine gun) and storm 44 (assaulters rifle)(even the luger) . Considered by many to be the best and most devastating semi auto and full auto sub machine guns, assault rifles and machine guns of the war. The allies had all but lost the war till they convinced the Americans to bail them out.
Or when it uses HE

How to destroy a German tank that got itself hopelessly lost somewhere in the Midwest.
Ha!aa!aaaaaa!
mike blubaugh The hell
After watching this video, an American would know:
- where tank armor is weak and where it is strong
- where tanks can and can't shoot
- that making it look like something weird is happening will force the tank commander to poke his head out
- that shooting will force the tank commander to "button up"
- how to use teamwork and cover to get close to an enemy tank
While facing up against multiple tanks with infantry support would be far more difficult than facing a lone tank, the application of these principles would still be the key to success. As such, the video does its job.

Q: When does a tank travel alone?
A: In a War Department training film
And along with no other tanks; we will never allow Panzergrenadiers or any infantry to accompany us!
When it broke down and its infantry left it
Also in Soviet Russia in the early years of the war, because they didn't bother to develop a tank doctrine or realize tanks needed an infantry support. One would think that the Winter War with Finland would be enough of a lesson.
Usually in a quick unpredictable war, the tanks can charge ahead of the infantry
You possibly could pick up a lone tank doing a screen on a road and the crew dont see you coming
That quickdraw at 5:16 was pretty slick.
I like how American the scenery is, it makes sense that they wouldn’t be able to film it elsewhere
Yeah and the actual tank is American too

As silly as it sounds, my squad would form Hunter/Killer groups in Battlefield V, a game set in ww2. We'd outfit with an MMG, or LMG, a couple assault rifles, and a medic, along with a lot of AT weapons. This way we could engage errant squads on foot, or armour as we found it. We employed a lot of these techniques during our time playing. Laying mines in vulnerable areas like enemy resupply points, setting up ambushes with the MMG, and deploying smoke into the face of enemy tanks to blind them, so we could plant explosives on them, or at the very least, drive them off. We did surprisingly well. Granted, it's a game and not real life, but still. It did well.

“Sir what tank should we use for the lesson?”
“Just use one of ours and stick a German cross on it”
Less chance of a ship being sunk trying to ship transport a German one back
Funfact:
Soviets wanted to use dogs as suicide bombers on german tanks and taught them how to sniff them out
seems great on paper right?
Well, what they done is they trained dogs to sniff THEIR OWN TANKS which the soviets used DIESEL which has a very different smell than the German's GAS. when they put them on the battlefield the dogs started getting scared which ran BACK TO THEIR OWNERS and under the own SOVIETS TANKS because of the confusion in the battlefield.

@@niklasklasen8048 then you are no better than they are by your own logic.
@@Shadowhunterbg ok, but their is a difference between why they were killing and why we were killing.
@@jacobtrowbridge9767 Not really. They fought for their country and you guys fought for your country. Other factors contribute but that one is the most important.
Edit: I am talking about Germans not alligned with Nazism, some of them did exist in the Nazi Germany. These germans were conscripted and had no choice but to fight, others fought to keep their families safe. Some became rebels and helped freedom fighters and etc. Nazi by all means were not fightning for their country but for conquest.
I have been a Soviet soldier on the Eastern Front for a few weeks now, and can't seem to destroy those German tanks properly. Thanks to this tutorial, I can now easily destroy German tanks! Thanks very much for this tutorial!
You can tell the tank destroyers are Italian by that sweet “ayeeeee we good boddy 👌🏼” 11:52
Or most definitely some New Yorkers
Tank Hunters: "Oh look! A rare wild German tank in it's natural habitat, hunting for it's prey."
"Let's give it an American greeting"
thats not a german tank... it may have the cross but its an early american tank.
@@ballistexx7864 It is a joke.
*throws pokéball
@@ballistexx7864 No shit
Me: hide in the 20ft dead space
Tank driver: open the hatch and shoot me with a pistol
Me: not like the simulation
Or you know the infantry support will shoot you or there other 3 tank in the platoon
More like hide in the 20 foot dead space then shoot driver when he opens the hatch.
When the tank uses an he shell instead of MG fire
There is a video on youtube of a modern tank namee T72 getting destroyed by a grenade thrown in its barrel, the attacker eas in dead zone.and no infantry or other tanks were near it,they turnes BBQ
it can just drive to crush you
Finally a good war thunder tutorial
These training films are a goldmine. Thank you.
You know I have a few ways of knowing if it’s a German tank
1: if it’s got the phrase panzer in it
2:if it’s grey
3: *if it’s shooting at me*
Hector MARSHALL yeah sure thing
Yeah uhm Im cookin' sumthin here I wanna ask how much trouble you can get in for uhh *meth*
Wait, if it's shooting at you, then how did they know you are not a German soldier?
How will you know if it's a enemy tank or a frienly tank, with tan and no markings,frienly fire is on, and you are alone with this mistery tank in the midle of the dessert? and also the enemy is using captured tanks.
@@lyletaronas6835 um if friendly fire was on why would a friendy tank shoot at me? If it shoots at me i fire Bacc
Shouldn't the "dead space" around the tank be called the "alive space"?
Dead space for the main gun. Alive for the hunters.
LOL dont start confusing peeps!

Thank God for this video. You never know when you're going to encounter a WW2 German tank coming at ya.
Or an American scout tank mocked up like a German pz2
Here, take this... (hands a log) Go get them, Tiger!
I love the encouragement of creativity in the final part of the video. You won't always be in an ideal situation or have the best equipment for the job, so put your brain to work and improvise. While there may be standard procedures for hunting and killing a tank, your own initiative and ability to adapt are your greatest strengths.
It’s never too late to learn I guess.

Disclaimer: For the unlikely situation that an outdated single tank attacks without infantry support.
😂🤣😂 very good mate lol
Ya i know this tutorial suck
Silly answer. More like tanks have infantry support because of this.
Also it would be silly to have infantry run into a strayed tank and can't deal with it because they don't have this basic training.
Finally a lot of stuff happens in a war. Yeah tanks are supposed to be deployed in platoons with infantry support... But just give it a few months of war or a few hours of battle and you can run into very unusual situations: platoon got broken apart or decimated, tank got stuck while infantry retreated... And so on...
You’d be surprised how often that happened
@@random_name3977 Which part of "unlikely" havent you understood?
Thank you cuz next month I'll be traveling to 1944 to fight for freedom. Thank you for your tips, really.
In 44 you’d die trying that
I mean, once you deal with the infantry support sure it's probably that easy.
Alternate method: Radio the Army Air Corps, tell them you see a tiger at coords, duck and hope you both got those coords correct.
The M1 carbine is a handy weapon and a lucky shot can jam the turret ring. Amazing he never changed his tune.
it was different time
only if you shoot a panzer 2 hahaha, panzer 2 weren't in service at 1943

Well, it won't be too bad. Knowing German tanks, it probably was broken down on the side of the road anyways
It works on tigers
@@podomuss Much the same as the soviets...
@@insertrandomusernamhere4209 Russian tanks were designed to be mass produced, easy to repair, and cheap
German tanks were fitted with technology they clearly couldn’t upkeep. Big difference
@@podomuss Correction, The russian tanks werent meant to be cheap, if Allied estimations are to be correct an up to allies standard t34 would cost as much as a sherman, the reason so many were made was due to the fact that factory 183 a behemoth of a factory was giant and, the fact that t34's made from it (50% of all produced) Didnt have radios, lights, chairs, hatch seals, Sights which in some cases were just polished steel and a lack of a turret basket to name but a few, alongside this having a massive amount of tanks isnt necessarilly a good thing for the overstretched soviet supply lines, i would prefer 100 of any other tank to a 1000 t34's as its 10x the crew and supplies necessary, which soviet supply lines couldnt handle, this is the reason for the famous enemy at the gates phrase "The man with the rifle shoots, the man without the rifle follows." this is not due to a lack of guns, the soviets had an oversupply, its again due to supply.

That’s not right
Tiger : 102mm
M2 : somewhere about 30-50mm

Well yeah, why do you think they stopped using AT rifles and grenades? Bazookas were just about the best thing for dealing with tanks and large groups of enemies, because, you know, they explode.

Tiger tanks were actually knocked out by White Phosphorus smoke grenades according to Wolfgang Schenider's Tiger in Combat Vol. 1

Imagine being a soldier that watched all these videos, trained like hell for years and then being rewarded with a visit to the beaches of normandy
These videos are for specialist tank-hunters
Rip
Jess Blues well yes but it’s for special training so most soldiers needed to know what to use to destroy certain things, soldiers are not dumb retards they are highly trained killing machines
Yup, imagine bieng the guy who earns a fat hole in the stomach while still in the landing craft...
Although it would be the same for all nations. Imagine you were a young Japanese man, going through all the training, vowing to bring pride and honour to your family and the Emperor, telling your family you are going to kill many of the invaders, and if you die you vow to take many of the enemy down with you.
After all that, you get deployed in a pillbox as a machine gunner. You never do get to see the 'enemy', after a couple of quiet days you suddenly hear the door to the pillbox getting kicked open, some foreign guy shouting a strange word 'FRY!', and the next (and last) thing you feel is your body getting superheated to over 1000 degrees Farenheit.
This would be the fate of many combatants on all sides....

How to destroy German big cat:
Just wait long enough they will destroy them self.
Yes after losing a battalion to 1
ure, sure.... BETTER take those useless SHERMAN-Bullshit-"tanks" and waste youself !
I don't think the Sherman is useless, it's like a MBT, it fights/supports infantry, it kills other tanks, it's just that their armor and armament wasn't the best for the time

Since when is a Sherman useless?
Last time I checked, a Sherman with a proper flank can take out a Tiger 2 with a single AP shell
And no, I didn’t get this from Fury
Also, who needs a Sherman when the Tigers and other heavy tanks will just lose their ability to move in the middle of combat due to a shitty transmission?

US Army Armored Divisions 3 and 4 had a 3.6 - 1 kill ratio in their favor. That’s 3.6 German tanks killed for every Sherman killed. Good try with your bullshit myth though.

Funny
For the veterans to have ptsd flashbacks of course.
I laughed at this comment, thank you!
Twist: The algorithm knows better
Because of all the portland "protesters" recently. ..they've all been emptying out the old local military surplus stores of their antique gear too...
Wow lifesaver, was going back to the fronts tomorrow
I love these governt training films.
I love the dialect, "Now onto the business," "this team is on their toes," "these are just a few samples out of the bag."
And after a day of good work, the guys head to the pub and enjoy a mid-strength beer, I guess
Almost "Don't worry about their gats- these lunks keep'em inside"!
*tinny voice* "Now men, when approaching the dead zone of a tank, ignore the other tanks in the group who have overlapping fields of fire. The supporting infantry is a figment of your imagination!"
Always remember to tip to in a cartoonist fashion, they can't see you then.
I love the 3 actors and one old M2! An M2 with German insignia is a bit less frightening then a big cat!
Thanks for uploading this it’ll be very useful the next time I need to destroy a WWII era German tank
"Periscopes, gun sights and other vision devices are also weakspots."
Me who played War Thunder: *impossible*
These things can block everything I swear to god
what's better armor?
150mm of rolled homogenous armor < some periscopes and optics

@@livethefuture2492 never forget.......apcr kinda useless........it just bounce off even against flat surface........hell even the standard stock round can pen enemy tank more easily.
Yeah, I know that. Our only weakness we know of (besides flesh and ammo racks) is the gun itself. You shoot it, it breaks.

This video is assuming it's one lonely tank and without infantry support.
Other circumstances would had needed more reinforcements.
Your buddies deal with the infantry. Your not alone, either.
After watching this video, an American would know:
- where tank armor is weak and where it is strong
- where tanks can and can't shoot
- that making it look like something weird is happening will force the tank commander to poke his head out
- that shooting will force the tank commander to "button up"
- how to use teamwork and cover to get close to an enemy tank
While facing up against multiple tanks with infantry support would be far more difficult than facing a lone tank, the application of these principles would still be the key to success. As such, the video does its job.
It is an American tank taken by the Germans. I am assuming the commander got lost, the driver approached the Americans forgetting he was German 😂🤣
If you're a three man team facing several tanks with infantry support, you leave. You don't try to fight all that on your own.
