Well done, Lance. I don't think your criteria are all that silly, either. Experimentation, anticipating operational needs, and determining methods for incorporating new technologies have got to result in some dead-end results along the way. Your choices were representative of that process and I enjoyed learning about them.
Nothing like imitating and referencing the master🙂! It could have developed into a cargo carrier but the Weasel was developed during the war and effectively dominated that field for a decade or two.
What I really loved was how much I learned. Most of the other lists are made by people who are more or less specialized in just tanks, and contain mostly well known vehicles. But this one brought out obscure ones I'd never heard of.
BUT Its Monday. DAMN! No. It *really is* Tuesday. I remember because I play football on Tuesday and I still have my shorts on - Guess I lost a day along with my change of clothes. Yes please Matron, more custard - and don't spare the weasels this time!
@@THR33SIXX3MPYR That you imagine I am your brother in Christ might go some way to explaining why you are so literal minded 🙄 I *know* it was posted 11 days ago It carries a time marker [But glad you enjoyed the History Guy's excellent video - even if my humour didn't appeal]
I love it when guests take a different twist on the Top 5/Bottom 5 concept and The History Guy has never been just another historian so it fits perfectly.
Been a follower of THG for a long time. Glad the Tank Musuem invited him to "cross the pond" and stir some history American style! May we have more please sir? Cheers!
I’d like to see a top/bottom five done by an artist or art historian based solely on aesthetics. What are the best and worst tanks by the criteria of visual design? It’s silly, but it would be interesting to look at it from that angle.
Ok, ok, I get it, but then there are tanks 2 through 5. Although it is not tracked, I have a fondness for the Daimler Ferret armored scout car. It’s a cubist sculpture on wheels.
Great bottom 5 list, and each one had a great not-story to it. Timing is, indeed, everything in the case of these tanks. "A bunch of pie in the sky that never got baked" ... loved that expression.
Really interesting episode, I really do enjoy the effort he puts into his shows. Thanks for having him back and hope everyone had a great time at Tank Fest. Charles
"Despite that they invited me back " I almost choked on my coffee. Great opening. I regularly watch both channels and enjoy seeing the History Guy in the field.
Radical departure from your usual format Lance - *Eminently watchable & highly informative as ever 'tho* Part of its charm is *exactly* because you highlighted Tanks which are intriguingly clever but hardly known to most folk. That BoarHound Armoured Car really impressed me BTW. Thanks
Most of the M103 Variants ended up with the US Marines as beach assault Gun fire support to block machine gun fire, wreck bunkers fast and shoot whatever was slowing the Grunts down. The ones in Europe operated in 3 tank Platoons as Rear overwatch fire support there were 72 in total assigned there.
Funny thing about M103 the US Army ones would be relocated to Fort Hood next to the Plum and Seek range. It was funny arguing about them and what they were. Then pulling out Janes and showing them what they were. Plus the Army never updated them the Marines would upgrade theirs.
History Guy and The Tank Museum. Oh boy, thank you! Plus his takes on his bottom five taught me a lot. Fun and informative. Keep em coming Tank Museum!
My own personal No. 1 with this criteria would be the O-I, intended to be a bunker on tracks in Manchuria used by the Japanese. One prototype hull underwent maneuverability trials... and dug itself into the road surface that it was tested on. A single piece of track survives.
Fantastic video. I love how The History Guy didn't just pick bad tanks. He stayed on theme and chose those with a forgotten story to tell. But can we talk about Lance's awesome wingtip shoes? They were almost the best part of the video!
There's a M103 on display at our local city park. It's an earlier model, with an air-cooled rather than the later liquid cooled engine. Quite impressive.
Awesome. Another history guy unique take on an aspect of history. I've seen a million videos about the tiger 1. Nice to see these oddball tanks, and get an idea about what goes on behind the main stage of history. Bravo!
The Panhard EBR and the Sd.Kfz. 234/2 have similar aesthetics. The EBR mounted turret variants of the AMX-13, and the Sd.Kfz 234/2 mounted a two man turret intended for the cancelled "Leopard" tank project.
One of the reasons I love HG is he gets in to the nooks and crannies of history that have been largely overlooked and forgotten. Most of the history books, tv, and movies only show the big stories for much of my life. I love seeing exactly this kind of content.
It's funny, I've been reading about projects like the T14 and Boarhound a bit lately, the American M7 tank (of which the turret was used for the Boarhound) and the Canadian Ram series of tanks fall under a similar category. Had they simply been completed a little earlier or under different circumstances they might have had their own service stories to tell. Now we can just speculate about them and I suppose in a way they are given notoriety in video games and other media.
Only THG could carry off wearing a white shirt and cuff links under his smart coveralls, topped off with his trademark bow tie and some very snazzy shoes! Quite the example of sartorial elegance for climbing around on hunks of metal - careful THG or you’ll be seen as an eccentric Brit if you keep this up! Absolutely bloody marvellous in dress and delivery.
What a gem of man! Thanks so much for sharing amazing history that truly does deserve to be remembered! …And a shout out to your son, he was raised spectacularly by you and your wife. It is great that you have passed down your love of history to him, and are able to share a passion for history together, and share that history with the world on your guys podcast! Maybe I have missed it, but I would love to see him make his own channel as well, it is great to see young talent such as himself share his favourite stories from history with us all! If his fantastic storytelling on the podcast is anything to go by I’m sure his on camera stories would be just as fantastic! He has also done a fantastic job writing for you, he deserves all the love he is getting for his amazing work, and for the work ethic you have clearly instilled in him! I hope you two keep on living your passion, and sharing history with the world! I also really appreciate the fact you two tell interesting stories from all time periods, and subject matter! That’s one thing I really appreciate as it is never boring, and I’m always being exposed to parts of history I would never have dreamed of.
Really love THG's Top and Bottom videos because he sees these from a very different point of view than the typical tank appreciator. In his love of a good story I'm only surprised he didn't find a way to relate any of these vehicles to piracy.
There are so many "top 5" and "bottom 5" videos out there, I almost past this one by- but when I saw it was "The History Guy", I just had to watch. When The History Guy talks, just gotta listen... Gotta love the wingtip shoes!
I’d like to see THG and Curator Smith comparing notes about their hat collections. I imagine they’d have a whale of a time comparing notes. How about it, Top 5 and bottom 5 covers (hats).
I have never seen the "History Guy" talking about tanks. The jump suit and the bowtie and the shoes and spats were very interesting . As usual the History Guy amazes me. Carry on Sir!
Well that was a lot of fun, and an interesting way to think about a 'bottom 5'. For a while I was concerned you were going to pick the Conqueror - which is number one on my personal list of Top Five Tanks!
What I love about the tank museum is that i was standing behind the camera for number 1 and learning about that tank in person that I wouldn't have noticed due to it being my first time there shows how awesome this place is.
Thanks, THG. I travel to the UK on occasion to visit family. I need to find my way to the Tank Museum. I'm a WoTB player and they do a decent job of replicating some of these tanks in the game.
THG is probably the best historical YT channel. Videos aren't too long, he doesn't go over the same ground for 30 minutes that you'd understood after 1.
My two favorite channels come together! Mister History Guy, I love your stories and your incredible knowledge of our history, and I appreciate those spats!
As you said, the M103 was never used and are scattered around the US as displays. Three are within a 50 mile radius here in Ky: Radcliff, Greensburg and Campbellsville.
I must be broken bc I love the T14 and the Boarhound. I know they didn't see combat or even real serial protection but one cannot forget the Rule of Cool.
We used a number of the M-103 tanks as "hard targets". Shot to tiny little pieces in the 80s. We used the gun tubes from them as posts, cemented into the ground to keep people from smashing into the washracks. One of the stereo rangefinders was taken out by us and is currently whereabouts unknown.
Weird things that haven't had their story told is an interesting take on bottom 5 tanks. I wouldn't say no to a regular installment of short videos on some more of these.
Interesting stuff, I liked your approach to the brief. Plus a couple of tanks I didn't know about; and in any field knowing what doesn't work is as important as knowing what does in my mind. Thank you.
I like @TheHistoryGuy 's reasoning behind his choices. As an aside, the channel Armoured Archives has some videos about Contentious and Prodigal, including the ribbed armour.
I am glad you visited Britain and the Tank Museum. If you come again and intend to give a lecture tour, please give us some advance notice. There are many British fans of THG who would willingly pay to hear you talk about any aspect of history you care to choose. That you were given access to the non-public areas shows the esteem you are held in. And if you were in Bovington drop into the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton. It is about 30 miles away. All the best.
Lance's tanker suit is the bee's knees; the bow-tie and the spiffy white-topped wing-tips really set off the whole ensemble. That T14 is a great looking vehicle; like something out of a "Weird War" story. I thought that a lot of the tanks were painted a brownish-grey colour until I realized it was dust. The Contentious is so strange that looking at it did odd things to my eyes; like it was an optical illusion.
An interesting and coherent collection of oddballs presented at pace. But can you imagine what might happen if the History Guy was made to sit on his hands? Excellent! TFP
One of the "surviving" M-103 tanks is a park sentinel in Pioneer Park, Nacogdoches, TX. Came here out of a scrap yard in Longview, TX. In decent condition cosmetically. The British Contentious is very reminiscent of the US SPAT, which could easily have been substituted for it IMO.
I know that most all of these tank spent little or no time on the battlefield due to changing tactics and needs, but most of them were not given a chance to perform the task they were designed for.
Loved this vid. It represents why we all have differences on best and worst. I personally would never choose a prototype as a worst tank. It's the tank that is made in numbers, saw combat, and is still crap that I would consider relevant in a worst list. Different, but intelligent, opinions is what can make people great.
I just watched a video by one a the few people who can make a story come to life about a subject that has or had no story, made at a place that contains stories told, untold or forgotten yet preserved so that they can be told.

Hey, Tank Fans! What do you think about 'The History Guys' Bottom 5? Let us know what yours would be and why.
I will just go along with the History Guy’s top five for now 😎
Thank you for uploading.
The bottom 5 are usually far more interesting.
The top 5 are usually the Tiger, M4, T34, maybe Churchill or Comet and then some
Really enjoyed this one; the approach was fresh and some vehicles rarely and seen and one I'd never even heard of!
I’d like to see you get James May to do one of these videos.
Well done, Lance. I don't think your criteria are all that silly, either. Experimentation, anticipating operational needs, and determining methods for incorporating new technologies have got to result in some dead-end results along the way. Your choices were representative of that process and I enjoyed learning about them.
I must say, this is actually one of the more interesting Top/Bottom 5 episodes. Interesting stories behind each of these.
Agree :)
Yup
or the lack of story
I almost felt sorry for the first little tank, that was almost David Fletcher levels of savagery from the History Guy.
Nothing like imitating and referencing the master🙂! It could have developed into a cargo carrier but the Weasel was developed during the war and effectively dominated that field for a decade or two.
My monocle almost fell out.
But David is sooo good at slashing something, I watch his vids just for that! 🤣
You said David Fletcher. We Love Him!
Nich tank like the funny tanks used in the invasion and never seen again
The bow tie goes to Bovington - excellent! Nice to see The History Guy joining the jury on best/worst tanks. A very enjoyable video.
What I really loved was how much I learned. Most of the other lists are made by people who are more or less specialized in just tanks, and contain mostly well known vehicles. But this one brought out obscure ones I'd never heard of.
Yea he puts his own spin on history,
Not just a big game hunter.
A double dose of The History Guy this morning? What a wonderful way to start my Friday
BUT Its Monday.
DAMN! No. It *really is* Tuesday. I remember because I play football on Tuesday and I still have my shorts on - Guess I lost a day along with my change of clothes.

@@jarraandyftm I was thinking exactly the same thing!!
@@paoloviti6156 great minds…
Best aesthetic tank? Panther. Jagdpanther if we count TDs.
Ok, ok, I get it, but then there are tanks 2 through 5.
Although it is not tracked, I have a fondness for the Daimler Ferret armored scout car. It’s a cubist sculpture on wheels.
Great bottom 5 list, and each one had a great not-story to it. Timing is, indeed, everything in the case of these tanks.
"A bunch of pie in the sky that never got baked" ... loved that expression.
I laughed at that one so much that I wrote it down.
When he said "Pie in the sky..." I was wondering if he'd finish that it came out half-baked or overbaked, but not baked at all is most appropriate.
Really interesting episode, I really do enjoy the effort he puts into his shows. Thanks for having him back and hope everyone had a great time at Tank Fest. Charles
I love how you can always hear the excitment and passion for history in his voice.
Bow tie, black coveralls, white spats. Pure History Guy. Gotta Love It.! Keep 'em Coming. I love these videos.
"Despite that they invited me back " I almost choked on my coffee. Great opening. I regularly watch both channels and enjoy seeing the History Guy in the field.
Radical departure from your usual format Lance - *Eminently watchable & highly informative as ever 'tho*
Part of its charm is *exactly* because you highlighted Tanks which are intriguingly clever but hardly known to most folk.
That BoarHound Armoured Car really impressed me BTW.

It is impressive to stand on too- makes most armored cars seem like toys...

Love it. The History Guy always has a great way of presenting interesting history.
An extremely interesting Bottom 5 tanks, some of which I was aware of, others were new to me. Also such a great criteria for selection. Well done.
History Guy AT LARGE! Excellent. As always. Thanks Tank Museum, for getting History Guy on your great show.
This was fantastic, Lance had more snark than he does on his own channel, and his reasoning is sound. This was a great video!
My own personal No. 1 with this criteria would be the O-I, intended to be a bunker on tracks in Manchuria used by the Japanese. One prototype hull underwent maneuverability trials... and dug itself into the road surface that it was tested on. A single piece of track survives.
There is also an amusing anecdote about the testing team trying to test run the chassis in a small town at night.
Best "Bottom Five" video yet. I think Lance put more thought into his selections than most have.
Fantastic video. I love how The History Guy didn't just pick bad tanks. He stayed on theme and chose those with a forgotten story to tell. But can we talk about Lance's awesome wingtip shoes? They were almost the best part of the video!
The History Guy is amazing. He has an absolutely wonderful channel. Thank you for having him on your wonderful channel as well!
There's a M103 on display at our local city park. It's an earlier model, with an air-cooled rather than the later liquid cooled engine. Quite impressive.
They certainly are intimidating. One upside of their limited service is that many were well-preserved as gate guards.
Awesome. Another history guy unique take on an aspect of history. I've seen a million videos about the tiger 1. Nice to see these oddball tanks, and get an idea about what goes on behind the main stage of history. Bravo!
Styling it up... Dicky bow, brogues..... And a boiler suit 😂😂😂👍👍👍
Very thoughtful way of evaluating tanks. I would just go by mobility, protection, and firepower.
How many times do you want to see TOG as a bottom 5.
Love THG, so glad to see him back on the channel. Fascinating choices, mostly new to me
The boardhound really is unique.
I've never seen a car with a tank turret before, but I love the aesthetic.
The Panhard EBR and the Sd.Kfz. 234/2 have similar aesthetics. The EBR mounted turret variants of the AMX-13, and the Sd.Kfz 234/2 mounted a two man turret intended for the cancelled "Leopard" tank project.
Rockin' those coveralls with tie.

I have a new insult added to my collection,,, "Pathetic Little Guppy"!! cant wait to use it :D . Thank you HG and the Tank museum.
Excellent! That was a very creative set of criteria Mr. History Guy came up with, and his presentation was (as usual) superb.

History Guy is not short, the M103 is that big. It *looms* even more than Conqueror. Lol #1 looks like a large Universal Carrier.
Thoroughly enjoyed this one, just like everything else by the History Guy.
There are so many "top 5" and "bottom 5" videos out there, I almost past this one by- but when I saw it was "The History Guy", I just had to watch.
When The History Guy talks, just gotta listen...
Gotta love the wingtip shoes!
Did he buy them from Radar?
The shoes, the suit, my goodness what style..
Another entertaining and genuinely interesting look at history, thanks Lance. 😉👍🏻
I love your criteria for these videos sir. You approach it completely different from everyone else who has done them.
I’d like to see THG and Curator Smith comparing notes about their hat collections. I imagine they’d have a whale of a time comparing notes.
How about it, Top 5 and bottom 5 covers (hats).
Now that would be great! I want this!
I'm there for it!
The entire look and name of the boarhouhnd is peak GI Joe. I love it.
I have never seen the
"History Guy" talking about tanks.
The jump suit and the bowtie and the shoes and spats were very interesting .
As usual the History Guy amazes me.
Carry on Sir!
Lance , you have the Coolest Job ! I love every single one of your episodes , please make more !
Well that was a lot of fun, and an interesting way to think about a 'bottom 5'. For a while I was concerned you were going to pick the Conqueror - which is number one on my personal list of Top Five Tanks!
Sure has an interesting profile.
One step closer to a History Guy, Chieftain team up.
Maybe Chieftan could get him drunk.
What I love about the tank museum is that i was standing behind the camera for number 1 and learning about that tank in person that I wouldn't have noticed due to it being my first time there shows how awesome this place is.
I was hoping that you were going to say, "Yes, my bottom 5 tanks went nowhere, but still, deserve to be remembered."
Thanks, THG. I travel to the UK on occasion to visit family. I need to find my way to the Tank Museum. I'm a WoTB player and they do a decent job of replicating some of these tanks in the game.
"A bunch of pie in the sky that never got baked." Excellent!
Just got recommended this today. Surprised to see THG as guest. Love his content. Especially on foods, or invention of common day items. Like the fork
THG is probably the best historical YT channel. Videos aren't too long, he doesn't go over the same ground for 30 minutes that you'd understood after 1.
No doubt! I've been a fan since forever, love the guy's channel.
Him and Dr.Felton
My two favorite channels come together!
Mister History Guy, I love your stories and your incredible knowledge of our history, and I appreciate those spats!
As you said, the M103 was never used and are scattered around the US as displays. Three are within a 50 mile radius here in Ky: Radcliff, Greensburg and Campbellsville.

I must be broken bc I love the T14 and the Boarhound. I know they didn't see combat or even real serial protection but one cannot forget the Rule of Cool.
We used a number of the M-103 tanks as "hard targets". Shot to tiny little pieces in the 80s. We used the gun tubes from them as posts, cemented into the ground to keep people from smashing into the washracks. One of the stereo rangefinders was taken out by us and is currently whereabouts unknown.
Weird things that haven't had their story told is an interesting take on bottom 5 tanks.

Great advert for the tank museum, as always The History Guy's quirky choice of topics and delivery make for entertaining viewing. 👍
I've heard Russian agents have been asking about the possibility of buying some of the museum's tanks to replenish their losses.
I think they already cleaned out their own museums.
Well they did buy T34-85 tanks from Laos some time ago, to replenish their stock of parade tanks,
Totally wonderful choices. Lance and the Director have the best Criteria for their top/bottom Fives.
Coveralls and spectator shoes...bold style choice!
I am glad you visited Britain and the Tank Museum. If you come again and intend to give a lecture tour, please give us some advance notice. There are many British fans of THG who would willingly pay to hear you talk about any aspect of history you care to choose.
That you were given access to the non-public areas shows the esteem you are held in. And if you were in Bovington drop into the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton. It is about 30 miles away.
All the best.
Thank you! I did also speak at Tank fest, and we did try to advertise as best we could. I would be overjoyed to be invited back!
"It lacks everything"
LoL!
seems like a good way to look at it. They have a couple of weird testbeds that aren't even completed vehicles
Lance Geiger, I have subscribed to History Guy for years and had no idea.
Two greats, working together, just great!
Lance's tanker suit is the bee's knees; the bow-tie and the spiffy white-topped wing-tips really set off the whole ensemble.
That T14 is a great looking vehicle; like something out of a "Weird War" story.
I thought that a lot of the tanks were painted a brownish-grey colour until I realized it was dust.
The Contentious is so strange that looking at it did odd things to my eyes; like it was an optical illusion.
11:30 ...a bunch of pie in the sky that never got baked.... Genius.
glad to see History Guy collab on another history oriented channel!
I desperately want to get over to the UK for tankfest some day...
An interesting and coherent collection of oddballs presented at pace. But can you imagine what might happen if the History Guy was made to sit on his hands? Excellent! TFP
A win win for the facility; a popular host and a bit of dusting all at the same time.😉
Fascinating- I love it when presenters make their own criteria. I see I have to check out this guy's channel too...
. Great to see The History Guy here on another channel I regularly watch. 👍
Thank you - great presentation. Appreciate you coming back 😃
Great video! I love the History Guy. Thank you for bringing to life these lesser known tanks!
Great tank choices, great wing tips. I actually thought you were wearing a zoot suit at the start.
Tanks for posting this video!
Love the channel, great work as always! we appreciate everything the tank museum does.
One of the "surviving" M-103 tanks is a park sentinel in Pioneer Park, Nacogdoches, TX. Came here out of a scrap yard in Longview, TX. In decent condition cosmetically.
The British Contentious is very reminiscent of the US SPAT, which could easily have been substituted for it IMO.
He's always a joy to watch, what a legend
