CSelH, i found that funny too. When will Westerners stop glossing over the atrocities commited by communists?

Fascism and communism were both disgusting (and fascism is simply corporation backed socialism linked with nationalism).

Before the bottles, they used clay jugs filled with petrol or similar flammable liquid. The idea came from observations made during the Italian invasion of Abyssinia, where Ethiopian forces used clay jugs filled with a flammable liquid against Italian Tankettes. When the jug smashed, soaking the tankette, a flaming stick was thrown to ignite it.
Spaniards were most likely the first to use molotovs, but Finns named them, used them to even greater effect (so much so that later tank models were designed to reduce damage taken from incendiary bottles) and made them part of popular history.
@Furry Destroyer He did betray the fascists yet I don't think he was a monarchist either. One his side there were monarchist factions like the Alfonsists and Carlists yet he betrayed them too by making himself dictator instead of handing the power to any of the king candidates. When after his death the power was given to king Juan Carlos it only happened because Franco's preferred candidate to inherit the regime (Carrero Blanco) had been assasinated a few years earlier.
@@TheBlackpanzer1 I find Franco to be an interesting character. He was a strong anti-communist, but he also did not want anything to do with Hitler and his ambitions. Having declared himself a "fascist" and accepted aid from both Mussolini and Hitler, he had placed himself and his nation in a precarious position. They were in danger of being swept up by the Nazi regime and Hitler put quite a bit of pressure on him to allow German troops free access through Spain. But Franco played off Hitler's demands through a series of negotiations and eventually told him no unless certain conditions were met that he knew the Germans either could not or would not agree to. He successfully kept Spain out of WWII without provoking either an Allied or Axis invasion. Love him or hate him, you have to admit, he was a pretty effective politician.
Two questions: firstly, did you do all the tank drawings? They were very nicely done. Secondly, is there a photo of the CV tankette with a flamethrower which the drawing at 10:47 is based on? I have only seen flamethrower CV's like the one at 20:21 , with a trailer for the flammable material. Overall, a great video; however, I think you could have benefited from truncating the sentences you put on the screen as long sentences can be distracting. Edit: aha I heard your credit to the artist just now.
My grandfather (RIP) ended up fighting for the nationalist faction. One day they were trapped in a trench. The radio was not working and the trench was very crowded and messy. He decided to jump out of the trench and look for help from nearby German tanks. As he was sprinting away, bullets were sizzling around his feet. (He described it as thoughtless and fearless act.) He found the tanks and somehow managed to communicate with the German official in charge. He run leading the way back to the battlefield followed by a group of tanks. One tank (probably Pz-1 Breda) shot just once and the republicans got scared and surrendered waving a white flag. My grandfather was only 17 back then. He became an official a few months after that. I don't know if the story is 100% true, since he told it me more than 70 years after the war. Thank you for the videos Hilbert!
@@piloul3538 Bear in mind that, as Hilbert has well described elsewhere, those on what we call the fascist side were not *all* fascists! Or even that right wing. If you don't get that, please watch the other videos. Also, 17 year-olds aren't always fully cognisant of the whole story of their current politics, *particularly* during a time of war. They will often (almost always) just follow their parents' or even their friends' lead. My sister's father-in-law (she's British, her husband of 45 years, and still going strong, is German) was Austrian, he was conscripted during the war. Though his politics were right of centre, he wasn't a Nazi and he sure as hell didn't want to fight for them. But given the option of joining up or being shot - and quite possibly having his family suffer as a result - he joined the army. He was also glad to have been captured by the Brits in N Africa because he knew he'd get better treatment than he got from his own officers; and he did. He was in fact delighted that his only son - his only _child_ - married a Brit rather than an Austrian or German. He'd gone to live in Bavaria after WWII with his Sudeten-German-Czech wife who'd been a member of the Czech resistance against both Nazis & Communists and had been tortured for her actions. I hope you now see that judging someone when there is such a chasm of time and space between you and the one you're disrespectful of is not only unnecessary, it is ill-considered and your conclusions, whilst they may _possibly_ be true, are skewed by your own emotions. Do you honestly think that a 17 yr-old, *pre-WWII* and living in a country where, because of the nature of war, was only hearing propaganda, not any sort of truth, can carry some sort of psychic ability to see how things would turn out? If the answer is yes, I suggest you take up another academic interest.
"They found they could light wine bottles on fire and throw them at the T26 tanks". How about saying petrol bombs? Or Molotov cocktails? You make it sound like the wine was flammable
@@lunadevass5561 You need around 40% alcohol for flammability. Wine literally can't get that strong without fortification. The sheer alcohol strength kills the yeast at around 15%. You need to distill to get stronger drink. Of course, it could be nasty brandy (distilled wine).
The spaniards invented the modern "Molotov" cocktail. In July of 1831 the lieutenant Manuel José Domínguez used inflammable bombs to sink a smugglers' ship in the coast of Motril (Granada), the name would be Domínguez cocktail. You can read the press release in the newspaper library of La Gaceta de Madrid.
@@Thrashgu Strictly, the Finns invented the Molotov Cocktail in the Winter War, although it certainly wasn't the first use of the idea, but they should get credit for the specific name
I love how knowledge can come together. I recently watched Tank Chat, hosted by the wonderful David John Fletcher MBE, and he taught me that the tank at 1:50 in this video is a Mark 1, due to the tail assembly. The wooden framework on top was designed to deflect grenades, and were only ever fitted to C Company! Fun the way things come together sometimes.
Here in my City (Castellón) Nazis dropped many bombs, there's a museum in a bunker in the center of the city which explains that and also shows the maps where the bombs were dropped.
BT-5 could hit 65 mph if the tracks were taken off, the tank could be driven with or without the tracks. The driver even had a steering wheel if they were to switch it from offroad to on-road.
My grandfather fought in the civil war and drove a panzer 1. He was trained and was part of one of the battalions commanded by Wilhelm Josef Ritter von Thoma. He had a very hard life during his youth due to the war, he was a loving and kind guy and a real badass
10:12 800 mm mg's wow. Nazi germany was developing the Gustav with 800 mm cannon and italians allready had 800 mm "dual" mg. Every day you learn something new.
I heard 800mm dual machine gun and had to comment, but i see many others already have. I think this was done on purpose so you could get a lot of comments on this video. Pretty genius actually!
9:40 That flag it's the correct one for the current democratic period, minus the crown. The nationalits used one similiar with an imperial eagle behind the shield.
@@RuiRuichi Not really surprising in HoI4. The German Leichtedivisions have enough Armour and Hardness to more or less disregard Republican militia with no Piercing or Hard Attack worth speaking of. It's not terribly historical, since IRL very few tanks were involved in the entire war (probably less on both sides, during the whole war than you squeeze into those 2 Divs as Germany), but if you want historical accuracy, you don't play an explicitly "what-if" game like HoI4, I suppose
Many tanks for sharing this. The CV33 flamethrower tank sounds grim, and probably better used if one has difficulty starting a barbecue. As for the instance of Nationalist soldiers setting bottles of wine alight and throwing those at tanks, I guess that was an early version of the Molotov cocktail, although it sounds like a waste of good wine.
There aren't any 800mm machine guns (so far). The standard German rifle round of the time was 7.92mm, often called 8mm. *However* the Germans did actually make an 800mm cannon and used it a couple of times during World War II. Just setting it up required many days and thousands of men, and the gun captain was a general. It would have been more than enough to blast the Brits out of Gibraltar, but Francisco Franco decided he would rather pass on another war. After Hitler's one and only face-to-face meeting with Franco, the Fuhrer said he'd rather have several teeth extracted than do that again. BTW, I was actually in Spain in 1975 when Franco finally died, having outlived Adolf and Benito by thirty years.
I was wondering which languages do you actually speak ?? Because I'm French, studying English and Spanish, and I'm pretty impressed by your pronunciation in French and Spanish!! Also thanks a lot for you videos, it helps a lot !
I know i'm quite late to the party, but the thing that would've made the CV 33 Framethrower variant so effective (11:18) was that the welding quality on Soviet tanks was poor aswell as the hatches having larger slits when closed due to poor manufacturing compared to well-made or otherwise foreign tanks. This meant that crews were extremely vulnerable to flamethrowers, molotov's, and just grenades and shells in general. This also meant that in theory the ~8mm machine guns and other heavier rifle caliber weapons could knock out the Soviet built vehicles.
10:23, u mean 8 mm mashine guns? Would be Nice to have a tanket with naval guns superior to the Yamato, even then the Italians might accidentally kill somebody.
Communists, socialists, marxists, brigades from Russia, Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania etc. descended on Spain. Most of them ideologues they committed whole sale horrific murder of Christians, nuns, land owners, the "one % " ers Spanish patriots. They were the kind of people Bernie is. A lot of them were hung and shot for their crimes in Spain, the ones who did not die and rot fled back to their countries and later became government officials in the iron curtain countries. Liberals in the USA, at the New York Times lied, and supported the looting murderers calling them Spanish fighters for freedom and democracy. Not much changed since than at the Times or with US liberals.
800mm - this is what happen when a for profit company creates the script and animation, but did not try to hire someone with basic military knowledge, or diligence.
Oh just FYI the Germans did use Wolfram AP MG rounds in the Panzer 1s later in the war they could kill a T-26 or a BT5 not at a Great range but they could I was told no more the yards 350 yards if they could get that close before the 45mm armed Russian tanks could fireband Hit! But the Crews were better in both Italian an German for the most part. Hope this was useful God Bless.
The little spicy Italian tankette, I immediately thought the nickname was going to be something like: Little Satan or something. But I guess Mouse works fine.

And the panzers just cut through fortified dug in troops in hills and mountrains like it was made of freaking butter. Germany OP.
@@RuiRuichi Not really surprising in HoI4. The German Leichtedivisions have enough Armour and Hardness to more or less disregard Republican militia with no Piercing or Hard Attack worth speaking of. It's not terribly historical, since IRL very few tanks were involved in the entire war (probably less on both sides, during the whole war than you squeeze into those 2 Divs as Germany), but if you want historical accuracy, you don't play an explicitly "what-if" game like HoI4, I suppose
8:00 That‘ll be 65 kph, not mph. Even the BT-5 can‘t dream of going that fast. No tracked tank can.
*Takes the tracks off*
@@501ststormtrooper9 That was actually a feature of the BT-5. Rr the BT-7, one of them.
*Laughs in Race car designer making a tank*
@@toadtexas oh God your cringe 😬
Mate I was speaking the truth
You missed the cv33 with the auto firing 20mm in a breda turret.C.C.I Tipo 37
okay that's cursed please remove this comment
and here is me thinking the Panzer 1 with the 20mm was cursed
@@Cheezymuffin. heheheh My fave is the one in war thunder that's just a solothurn 20mm rifle strapped inside a cv33
Many tanks for sharing this. The CV33 flamethrower tank sounds grim, and probably better used if one has difficulty starting a barbecue. As for the instance of Nationalist soldiers setting bottles of wine alight and throwing those at tanks, I guess that was an early version of the Molotov cocktail, although it sounds like a waste of good wine.
7:58 - 65 mph, really ?! Thats a fastest tank in the world. Real maximum speed is 65 km/s, over 40 mph.
Wow I bet! 65km per SECOND!?!? that definitely is over 40 mph
65 km/s, damn didn't know the BT-5 could travel at mach 2
Failed video+Failed critique=🚾
@@georgeatallah1128 Elaborate, Why this is a failed video and critique to you?
Chaffee cough Bulldog cough cough
2:43 That's the wrong flag. Between the first World war and Hitler we had the same flag then today (black, red, yellow)
Great video! But the second flag used in 1:24 is in fact the flag of the First Spanish Republic, not the monarchist/fascist’s flag.
A 20 min video on Tanks in a war?! I commend you my friend!
Try lindybeige for 40 mins plus
There aren't any 800mm machine guns (so far). The standard German rifle round of the time was 7.92mm, often called 8mm. *However* the Germans did actually make an 800mm cannon and used it a couple of times during World War II. Just setting it up required many days and thousands of men, and the gun captain was a general. It would have been more than enough to blast the Brits out of Gibraltar, but Francisco Franco decided he would rather pass on another war. After Hitler's one and only face-to-face meeting with Franco, the Fuhrer said he'd rather have several teeth extracted than do that again.
BTW, I was actually in Spain in 1975 when Franco finally died, having outlived Adolf and Benito by thirty years.
Good video didn’t know anything about the tank warfare in that war.
I was wondering which languages do you actually speak ?? Because I'm French, studying English and Spanish, and I'm pretty impressed by your pronunciation in French and Spanish!!
Also thanks a lot for you videos, it helps a lot !
I know i'm quite late to the party, but the thing that would've made the CV 33 Framethrower variant so effective (11:18) was that the welding quality on Soviet tanks was poor aswell as the hatches having larger slits when closed due to poor manufacturing compared to well-made or otherwise foreign tanks. This meant that crews were extremely vulnerable to flamethrowers, molotov's, and just grenades and shells in general. This also meant that in theory the ~8mm machine guns and other heavier rifle caliber weapons could knock out the Soviet built vehicles.
You could do a video about Joaquin Garcia Morato, one of the best combat pilots in the civil war and founder of the “ala 11”
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!
10:23, u mean 8 mm mashine guns? Would be Nice to have a tanket with naval guns superior to the Yamato, even then the Italians might accidentally kill somebody.
Just to let you know, there is a total conversion MOD for COD WAW about the spanish civil war on ModDB it's name is Spain At War
when you need huge naval arty but you need a poopton of shells use one cv33
So the L3 (or CV33) had twin, fully automatic Schwerer Gustav guns?
Brilliant video of a very unknown subject on youtube of interwar armour. Superb
Panzerkampfwagen isnt just a fancy word for tank
It stands for Armored Fighting Vehicle
Means not stands
800mm dual machine gun.
As if someone put a larger gun than battleship that can pen tank is as same as bringing a Tsar Bomba to a swordfight.
Nice video and great spanish, italian and german pronunciation.
Communists, socialists, marxists, brigades from Russia, Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania etc. descended on Spain. Most of them ideologues they committed whole sale horrific murder of Christians, nuns, land owners, the "one % " ers Spanish patriots. They were the kind of people Bernie is. A lot of them were hung and shot for their crimes in Spain, the ones who did not die and rot fled back to their countries and later became government officials in the iron curtain countries. Liberals in the USA, at the New York Times lied, and supported the looting murderers calling them Spanish fighters for freedom and democracy. Not much changed since than at the Times or with US liberals.
Good video! Greetings from Spain :D
I think he said 800mm just to set people off! Job done haha
800mm - this is what happen when a for profit company creates the script and animation, but did not try to hire someone with basic military knowledge, or diligence.
Fascinating! Always interested in this conflict. It struck me as a "Proxy war" like the US fought throughout the last have of the 20th century
Marvel villains design huge devices to destroy earth
Some Italian designer after building a tank with 800mm gun : Signature look of superiority
That wee Italian fartbox could've knocked out the Tirpitz with its 800mm machine guns, wow!
If Stalin don't Purged so early then the outcome might be different
Great documentary. Tanks a lot
Damn man, you’re totally nailing all the accents!
"dual 800 mm machineguns"
2 fucking Schwerer Gustav on a cv 33
A tank that goes over 100 km/h and a 800mm machine gun? I wonder which universe that war was lol.
The 2235 war of the cookie
Oh just FYI the Germans did use Wolfram AP MG rounds in the Panzer 1s later in the war they could kill a T-26 or a BT5 not at a Great range but they could I was told no more the yards 350 yards if they could get that close before the 45mm armed Russian tanks could fireband Hit! But the Crews were better in both Italian an German for the most part. Hope this was useful God Bless.
Muy buen video🙏🏽
geeze, i cant imagine using the cramped interior of a schneider ca1 as a troop carrier.
"...lit wine bottles." I need some of THAT wine...
Dual 800 mm machine gun thats two gustav guns that can fire at sound breaking speeds
very nice video, good job
just subscribed :D
800mm machine gun? That's a bloody auto canon (none that ever existed though).
The little spicy Italian tankette, I immediately thought the nickname was going to be something like: Little Satan or something.
But I guess Mouse works fine.
Thank you Good video:) God Bless
Thanks for do the tanks of the Spanish civil war 😊😊😊
Aren’t IFVs basically landships? With more seating
10:49 new way to cook barbecue
I wonder what type of tank and tankette appeared at the end of Hemingway's "For Whom The Bell Tolls". I haven't read it in years. Any ideas?
Here in Spain we're still fighting a civil war, it never ended.
Glass catalonia again
Same as Russia.

The Civil War ended years ago, but we still suffer some consequences of its result.
