He was not alone as there were multiple Sherman's involved in this engagement and there is still debate if he was the tank and gunner to knock out Whitman and his tiger. There is another Sherman that also has a good claim to taking.g the credit for this and it was positioned in the farm house on the road beside where Whitman passed.

@@THE-BUNKEN-DRUM Shermans were meant to engage infantry and emplacements not fight tanks. Tigers broke down on their own and were just a huge propaganda machine that got destroyed constantly by planes as they broke down in fields helpless. They were not effective by any means and still struggled against a few much cheaper and effective T-34-85s. The Panzer V was the last good German Tank. Now stfu you Wehrmacht wannabe.
@Solipsil Near the end, Japanese military reassigned all their best airmen to defend Tokyo and by extension the emperor, instead of assigning them as instructors where their talents would have been better utilized. Not saying it would have turned the tide for them, but it was a stupid & myopic waste of rare & precious resources.
BeachsideHank Don’t think it would have done much. The best for them is to relegate most of their aces to instructor role back in 1942 or 1943. Doing to so late wouldn’t done much for them, considering that it would take a long while to train pilots.
@Solipsil one of the justifications for the criminal bombing of Germany was sending fighters to prevent them bled dry the pilots so that on D Day there were few aces left. With Japan the pilots were also inexperienced so that kamikaze made sense because sending them against the US fighters and ships meant almost certain death anyway.

God bless you old warriors - you saved the world, so that younglings behind computer keyboards could insist that THEY know what REALLY happened. Fortune passes everywhere.
@@thewarhawk8203 To think that any country fought Germany out of a sense of moral good is absolute delusion, this was a war of imperial ambitions. The "good" brits were busy starving 3 million Bengals to death, Russia starved 8 million ukranians to death. How exactly are they better than Germany?
Idk why but it made me cry when I’ve heard about Soviet names there. Everyone counts my country as an aggressor and nazi nation… it’s even hard to imagine that someone was doing that for honour of our men…

@@KoishiVibin It's a bit more complicated then that. Ballistic performance is determined by several factors. Now a tank can only be so big before it starts running into problems, especially at WWII tech levels. This limited size meant a limited size turret which meant a limited size breech, which had to fit inside the turret. While you could fit a very large 100mm+ bore cannon on to a Sherman turret, the breech length would remain unchanged. Which means cartridge over all length does not change. Which means you go from firing a long skinny cartridge, to a short fat one, relatively speaking. While the short fat cartridge will hold more powder then the long skinny, the ratio of powder to projectile weight becomes skewed against the short-fat. Like a 5.56 versus a 12 gauge, roughly the same OAL, and the 12 gauge has twice the powder of the 5.56, but the projectile weight is several times more with the 12 gauge. Thus, it is much slower. All that said, the invention of APDS (Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot) made this issue irrelevant. The APDS design lets you shoot the same weight projectile (sub caliber projectiles) regardless of bore size. Since a larger bore size will let you fit more powder behind the projectile, larger becomes always better.
@@caseyb1346 what about heat shells, a larger bore means more explosive can be packed behind the copper cone, and muzzle velocity does not matter as much since the shell explosion is triggered on contact and does all the penetration.
I am a researcher in naval but research on local news about new discoveries like 3 kids found a sunken t-34 Russian tank in a swamp just seeing its turret
I'm an American who just turned 45 years old but I also lay claim to killing the black baron. Wow, everybody and their mom claimed to destroy those tanks. Thank you shoemaker for your service and to all who sacrificed to save the world. You are the greatest generation
Thank you for noting that the 17 pounder was quite a handful when fired. I've read a number of articles describing how, in their tank manuals, Firefly TCs were told to stand outside the tank to effectively direct their fire. This was due to the ridiculous muzzle flash created by their main armament. What a well done story that tells of one man in battle, merely doing his job. His job that day was to take out Wittmann and two other Tigers- that he survived and received the credit he deserved was a happy ending! (Unless you're a Wittmann fan obviously) SUBSCRIBED!
I always love hearing those old-timers talking about the war. They tell their stories with a refreshing humility. They just got on with it, never complained and never asked for, nor expected, any acclaim. True heroes.

Like a 5.56 versus a 12 gauge, roughly the same OAL, and the 12 gauge has twice the powder of the 5.56, but the projectile weight is several times more with the 12 gauge. Thus, it is much slower.
All that said, the invention of APDS (Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot) made this issue irrelevant. The APDS design lets you shoot the same weight projectile (sub caliber projectiles) regardless of bore size. Since a larger bore size will let you fit more powder behind the projectile, larger becomes always better.
@@caseyb1346 what about heat shells, a larger bore means more explosive can be packed behind the copper cone, and muzzle velocity does not matter as much since the shell explosion is triggered on contact and does all the penetration.
VERY well done video. Thank you for putting effort into your content. It's becoming rare. Looks and sounds great...AND YOU USED WORDS RIGHT!
I am a researcher in naval but research on local news about new discoveries like 3 kids found a sunken t-34 Russian tank in a swamp just seeing its turret
dude, what's up with the animation? It's pretty much close to perfection.
Finally a TH-camr with good production quality AND proper knowledge of things. Not things you see on TH-cam it seems.
No knowledge since Joe DEkins didn´t take out Wittmann!
You absolutely ROCK for keeping these histories alive..!!! 😉👍
Him: I just killed a tank ace lol
Them: nice work now go to the bloody radio
That was a great yarn. It must have taken some bravery making 3 tigers angry and giving away your position.
Have a Merry Christmas everyone...
That animation got so much better!
This guy had the magic hands taking out 3 tigers! Insane! It's awesome how you got him to narrate!
Good job. I learn more about history in this channel alone than all years of school.
The animation is good,congrats yarnhub,you have a new subber
keep up the good work Yarnhub
Great script! Thanks for posting.
10/10 video bro, nicely done!
The enemy be like:
Tank1: bro what the hell happening there mate
Tank2: some fireflies or just one fire fly took ou-
Tank1: bro?
Tank1 : oh no
Tank 1 : oh Scheisse, Scheisse ,Scheisse ...Hans step on ze gas
Thats some high quality animation mate
Great video. This put a smile on my face.
Everyone: "nice shot Joe"
Joe: "tank you"
The tank Animation is Soo cool
*Yarnhub, an third History channel after Simple History and Oversimplified.*
Legend
Yarnhub is my new favorite, replacing Simple History, thanks to the animations
The way you start you videos man, makes me feel like I’m watching a movie
I'm an American who just turned 45 years old but I also lay claim to killing the black baron. Wow, everybody and their mom claimed to destroy those tanks. Thank you shoemaker for your service and to all who sacrificed to save the world. You are the greatest generation
I even claim to downing the Red Baron...
The tank animations were AMAZING
the quality inproves every video
Found your channel yesterday and I’m binging all your videos
These videos are great 👍 I’ve watched all of them. Please make more
The CGI and the original record of Joe Ekins! great job you got there Yarnhub!
New 3D Cel Shading style is nice. Now you can have more 3D maneuver animation.
Seeing this and the last video that Yarnhub uploaded i see a great improvement
Your videos are really good! The animation and storytelling are both great!
A British Tank Hero 👍🙂 A great story. Real heroes are usually reticent and unassuming. They just get the 'job' done.
Thank you for noting that the 17 pounder was quite a handful when fired. I've read a number of articles describing how, in their tank manuals, Firefly TCs were told to stand outside the tank to effectively direct their fire. This was due to the ridiculous muzzle flash created by their main armament.
What a well done story that tells of one man in battle, merely doing his job. His job that day was to take out Wittmann and two other Tigers- that he survived and received the credit he deserved was a happy ending! (Unless you're a Wittmann fan obviously)
SUBSCRIBED!
There's a reason the Americans turned down the Firefly and went with their own 76mm gun.
theres a reason the Brits put a 17 pounder on a rothmans
I always love hearing those old-timers talking about the war. They tell their stories with a refreshing humility. They just got on with it, never complained and never asked for, nor expected, any acclaim. True heroes.
Wittman: I was the Black baron
The Red Baron:Pathetic
Joe:Pathetic
What a ridiculously stupid comment you made
What a great video, YarnHub. The animations, the narration, the origianl audio. Congratulations. You, Simple History and Oversimplified are my favorite history channels in TH-cam.
Keep up the good work mate
