Germans: Anti tank weapon it is.
Americans: we've got semi automatic rifles
Germans: jajajaja hold my nightvision equipped tactical assault rifle
Meanwhile M2 Carbine a years earlier...
Germans were very intelligent hard working people and strong as nails.
There's a reason the Americans and Soviets didn't use night vision before, despite developing them three to five years earlier. The technology was just not mature.

I really hope you guys like this, i put a lot of time and effort into making the video. I tried to get a nice diverse range of Nazi weapons, people wouldn't have heard about before.

Good job as always!
Keep it up m8
It's kinda cool cause the US actually did have active night vision it's on an M2 select fire carbine and was called the M3 carbine it was used in the invasion of Okinawa and caused 30% of rifle and carbine casualties which is impressive considering there were only 150 of the M3's there

Not a Nazi fan or anything like that but let's face it, they were ahead of their time compared to other countries.
When people say the Germans who were mostly using horses were more advanced then the allies who split the atom in WW2 hahaha
Germany used the highest proportion of horse base transport and logistics of any major powers. Far more then most combined. By comparison the UK had its army fully mechanised by 1942, Germany never got close and was even de-mechanising troops at the time. It was better then Germanies idea, the proposed during Sealion to do the same... but in river barges... unpowered under tow. Germany was way worse.
Crag_r allies didn’t split the atom😂😂 Otto Hahn did
It was Germany to nuke Japan twice? okay nazi boy ahahaha
Crag_r Albert Einstein left Germany along with several other Jewish physicists, therefore the Americans made the nuclear bomb
as crazy as these weapons look, the germans back then were ahead of their time. like the night vision thing, that was just pure genius back then
@@irgendeinname9256 ⁰⁰
It was. The Germans barely fielded nigh vision meanwhile the allies put it on trucks as standard

Maus, literally the all round biggest and heaviest tank ever built
Ratte, a design concept for a tank the size and weight of a warship
Goliath, grandfather of RC cars
Go home Germany, your drunk
Honestly a genuine meme naming convention, those engineers must've had a wail of a time.
When your back is against the wall it is time to try anything, anything at all. Some of those weapons may have been failures, others were a huge success. Example at the battle of Salerno the Germans used guided by wire rockets. Big success. The advantage the Germans had was the superior engineering that made any crazy idea possible. The Flak 88 was an anti aircraft weapon. It turned out to be the best gun of its kind of the entire conflict. Nothing else came even close. The Me262 was so far ahead of everything else it could have been a game changer. Lack of fuel and pilots did it in.
Goliath was more useful than those 2,its more hidden (meaning plane and aircraft have a difficult time finding it) and it has explosive which can explode vehicle
German High Command: "We are going to destroy a tank and we don't care how we do it!"
Germans: the fliegerfaust is a complete failure let's scrap it.
Dice: give me all your stock
Sturmpistole:- Allow me to introduce myself
On the other note, sadly new content for BFV won't come as all the development for new content was stopped, kinda a shame.
BFV had alot of potential, kinda depressing thing that potential won't be utilised and WW2 setting won't be touched by DICE for a while.

weird most of the german army field weapons from the common grunt to the tankers were way ahead of anything that the allies had and old army sgt maj once said
that it wasn't uncommon to see some us army NCO's carrying an mp-40' and the STG-44 or the FG-42
The Sturmpistol seems like a weapon in an FPS that gives you some achievement that gave you some incredibly rare skin.

The Germans were decades ahead if its time.Incredible technology.
Germany who mostly used horses during the war ahead of the side that used nuclear bombs? ahahaha
If they didn't even have fuel they weren't decades ahead of anyone.

Germany had the problem throughout the war of not having enough supplies

5:45 the dark history of the nerf vortex
Oh my god
Panzerfaust and Panzerscreck were probably most effective German Wunderwaffes.They were simple,effective and produced and very large quantities.
They were not wonder weapons. One was a copy of the American Bazooka the other was intended to be an single infantryman projected anti-tank weapon.
@@peterson7082 yes but the Faust was revolutionary because it was cheap as heck, and very effective
@@LowEnd31st Not really revolutionary, just cheap and powerful. Granted aiming was much more up to guess work than those fired by the _Panzerschreck_ and _M1/ M9_ rocket launcher.
@@peterson7082 aiming the panzerfaust worked the same as the pzshrk or the bazooka what? it has a built in flip up iron sight system that had 3 openings each for a different range, that's exactly how the bazooka sight works. it has a moveable front sight you slid up or down for 3 separate ranges thus increasing the angle you hold the thing at. a pabzerfaust has a stationary graduted rear sight, but you just lined up which ever range aperture u needed and lines it up with the front sight
@@peterson7082 you can't see it in most pics of panzerfaust bc there's not many pics of soldiers actually firing one

The allies did have night vision equipment with the Tabby monoculars and night driving systems being fairly widespread. Not sure they ever saw any German IR searchlights but there were plenty of opportunities to spot them if they'd been used on the western front.
The Goliath idea is actually a pretty good one in modern terms. If they'd had time to develope it into something useful, it could have been used in high numbers at Kursk, for example...
Cool video dude. Some of these were brilliant; like the night vision scope. But others (like the crude anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons) you can really see the desperation in their design.
Hmm...the Sturmpistole was a design to (desperatly) fill the gap of manportable AT- weapons at the eastfront right before the massproduction of Panzerfaust kicked in. The K-98 rifle, as example, was also used with a similar barrelmounted 3cm grenadelauncher (Schießbecher) as AT-weapon solution...with only moderate effect against the first and early tanks....The brandnew "Uhu" - nightvision system was introduced at the last months and weeks of the war...

If I need to explane the joke just tell me.....
I like the several different pronounciations of equipment like the Panzerwurfmine. Really makes this an authentic listening experience to hear someone non-German struggle to say these weird compound words.
Excellent video. Rare to see a list of actual wierd weapons. I hadn't heard of most of those, except for the Goliath remote tankettes.

Germany had some really weird stuff like the Krummlauf for the Stg 44 tho. I wonder why it wasn't included here
yeah look putting an explosive charge on a pistol hadnt been tried before because its stupid, so is trying to cross a lawn dart with an anti tank mine. I wish people would stop pretending things are amazing just because they came out of nazi germany
@@ledavalon7118
Well, there are a lot of the german developments that really were outstanding for the time. For example the panzergaust wich later was used as a template for the russian RPG weapon. Another good example is the last submarine type that they developed, after the war, literally every other nation used this submarine configuration for their standard and nuclear submarines.
I was always curious about unusual wwii tech. Germany certainly had a headstart in that department. That vampir NV scope is something else.
No they didn't have a headstart. They were considerably behind. There's a reason why the Americans and Soviets who were working on it three to five years before them didn't use it in combat- the technology was just not mature enough.
Good job m8. I always enjoy these types of videos.
I'm glad you like it :D

anybody else think of lawn darts after seeing the Panzerwurfmine?
Well it is basically that, an explosive lawn dart.
Yessss
Yes, also known as Jarts.
Yep, "JARTS"! Late 60's, 70s, and as a kid, Grandad and Grandma's HUGE family reunions, lawn darts became the fav of all the family, tossing the fin-laden, giant nail, sailing through the air, what goes up, must come down, nailing the center of the mini-hula-hoops, in the grass. Or on whoever! It was like your own Command & Control, windage and using angles, that was (and is) time to "Missile Deployed". I just checked E-Bay, big item now.

Listening about Vampire night vision.... Ironically i was talking yesterday with my good buddy about nightvisions, as I'm about to buy one, and he said: don't think about active NV with IR light because you will see with it for about 300m and you will be seen from over 1km because you'll be light as flare to every radar/scaner around xD
Ahh, times has changed
The petrol driven GOLIATH were massively used by Germans against city barricades build by the soldiers of Polish Underground Army, during >Warsaw's Uprising
That awkward moment when you look at a German STG-44 and realize that Sergent Kalashnikov probably didn't design the AK-47 on a napkin. :(
TheAwillz They have a lot in common that's for sure.
Is this not common knowledge already? The ak-47 was just an updated and upgraded STG-44.
Except all the systems lifted from the American M1 and not the STG-44
I believe Ensign Chekhov would explain the Russians inwented the STG-44 first but the Germans stole the napkin with the design on it.
It's not really well know. But Hugo Schmeisser the engineer behind the Stgw 44 was a POW of the Soviets and was forced to work abroad. In October 1945 he was forced to work in the so called "technical commission" and transfered to the Soviet Union. Guess were he was stationed.... Izhevsk! What else is in the City? Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant who produced out of the blue the AK 47 which was designed there between 1946 and 1948😏

about the Vampir STG 44. The allies had night vision, the americans experimented on the m3 Carbine. However they did not go through with it because it was not needed

Props for struggling yourself through all those German terms and sticking to it
the Americans had similar night vision technology to the Vampir, which they used on M1 and M2 carbines on Okinawa and Iwo Jima
Dubsy 102 no
Yes
Dubsy 102 prove it
Why are we even having this discussion? But as I'm here, go and watch forgotten weapon's video on it
WoT theshadow9929 The m3 carbine. It was a m2 carbine with a night vision sniper scope, about 3000 produced. It saw combat in Okinawa 1945.
That night vision was pretty rad. I was amazed to learn only in the previous decade how much things Germans came up with during WW2. Like heat seeking missles, camera guided bombs, assault rifle was their idea, Horton flying wing plane etc.... they were really pushing the limits. One thing they were weak on I believe were computers. I believe the British had the edge on computers.
dude we invented the computer
the first computer system aswell. linux.
The night vision is actually pretty impressive. Presumably the soldier carrying the battery on his back would not carry full standard gear as well.
One gun used by two different nations with opposite results in mind:
Flare gun with frenchs and germans.
2:06 okay now I’m convinced how George Lucas got his Star Wars inspiration from

You know you're losing when your weapons grow cruder (and more laughable) as the war drags on.
Ever seen the USA's M3 Night Vision system from WW2? It saw very effective use in the Pacific, especially on Okinawa when the Japanese suicide sappers liked to try and slip into defense positions at night.

Well the Fliegerfaust(called something different in-game and is very nice to use) & Goliath RC mine are featured in SE4 and fairly accurately recreated
German Weaponry:- It's not weird.. just ahead of it's time.. that's all
Learn some basic rules regarding WWII tank warfare.
Moving attacking tanks are far more vulnerable in a battle than a static camoflaged defending tank or anti-tank gun.
Remember a moving attacking tank is entering unknown ground and has to stop before it can fire a round. A defending tank or anti-tank crew knows the ground, are prepared and are ready to fire a round immediately. You were far safer defending than attacking, at least initially. The allies won due to superiority in numbers when attacking, that is they were happy to lose many tanks whilst attacking.
This all changed later after WWII when it was possible to target and shoot rounds while a tank was on the move.
Finnish soldiers also had relatively good success with the panzerfaust
Black light is not infrared. It's close to ultra-violet actually. The British liked using black lighting for nightfighter instrument panels, the US used NIR Starlight scopes for night snipers to counter the Germans.
In the late 80's, start 90's, when shit allmost hit the fan, i tried a similar, but slightly modified nightvision as shown 8:00 min in the video. It was mounted on a M75 and the range was aprox 100 meters. Though it was 40 years after the first, German model, it was still 10 kg+ and the target was shown as a green blob....Glad i didnt had to use it hot :-)

They didn't. Infra-red lamps and lenses were in use at the turn of the century.
arthur lewis Yes they did not.. Infact Modern man invented no shits, we just go modifying things as it were to a better and more efficient suited to our modern needs, that is all
Actually, the Allies had this technology. The US had the M3 Carbine, which was an M2 Carbine with an M2 infrared scope. By Korea, this would be upgraded to the M3 standard.
The weapon saw extensive use in Okinawa, where it contributed to about a third of all Japanese casualties to rifle and carbine fire.
8:20 'Black light lamp'
A black light is UV (ultraviolet).
The STG-44 uses a IR (Infrared) lamp.
UV and IR light are at two different ends of the light spectrum.
My only reaction to all of these ideas is "holy lord!"
11:46 “this technology doe” 💀
Mine: mine / Miene: facial expression/ Minne: ritualised medieval love with playing music and einging.
The reason the Maus is so named is because of the considerably larger Ratte, which wasn't so much a tank as it was literally a Kriegsmarine Cruiser turret with a mobile chassis built around it. The Rattes defensive guns would be comprised of Tiger or Panther turrets and Maus turrets mounted along the perimeter of the chassis. It was a behemoth that thankfully only existed on paper and the minds of the people that thought the beast up.
Not everything was weird, night vision back then is pretty impressive.
"Nazi weapon" Fliegerfaust. A very nice gun! I also like the republican M16 or the labour party Thompson gun
good point....^^
its weird to say Nazi weapon, but the branches of the US Armed Forces swear first and foremost to uphold the constitution, then a president, this is why the armed forces could potentially not follow an order from the president. The oath of the Wehrmacht was of absolute loyalty to Hitler. That difference means a whole lot.
DressedWings Now the US army they swear to the bankers, the Rothschild and israel who controls the US goverment..
tinfoilhat much :D You have to start making a difference between "influence" and "controlling" or otherwise people will keep laughing and the dumb stuff you say.
The SS swore an absolute loyalty to Hitler, not the Wehrmacht (German army).

Joba Sure there are always reasons. Reasons why he got elected were that he promised jobs for the Germans and to make Germany great again cuz they had to pay much money due to a war they havent even started (ww1) (treaty of versailles) that made many Germans angry and they wanted to have a strong leader back like in German imperial times. Btw not even the majority voted for Hitler (43%).

the weird infrared light was still in use on a G3 rifle in the german army in 1986. we used it in the Panzergrenadierbattallion 22. batteries were a lot lighter though.
All that technology in 1940s means we should already have been in mars had the people not been so violent.
At 2:28 was just funny how He explained it
i feel like the Goliath would be more useful as a way to demo enemy fortifications
I mean, I wouldn't consider the vampir weird, it was the first use of night vision, it was crude, but the basis of night vision within modern armies.
