imagine being in a tank without infantry support and hearing someone outside of your tank pummeling it saying 'you piece of shit its fucking RAW you arse donkey shit'
Tank crew: sir, taking a break at an enemy camp sounds like a bad idea. Tank commander: what's the worst can happen? A cook with an axe charging at us frantically?
You gotta admire the iron will of this man who found a way to fight a tank not with a gun but with an axe, requiring extreme close range and running the risk of the crew just shooting from the hatch and firing with small arms fire.
"You see Ivan, if you dress like kitchen cook wielding an axe charging to your enemies, they will be confused and run while frantically acreaming that they not want to be butchered." -Ivan to another Ivan, probably.
Point was that he was hiding so commander got out thinking camp was empty. When cook attacked he rush into tank and when blinded and there was fake command going on he though it was a ambush, that camp was hiding whole time, or Soviet troops got back to camp prime time to attack against their tank. Human mind is crooked thing with confirmation bias, so in his head there could been potentially army outside.
You don't see too many stories from this early in the war, especially not on the Soviet side, I love seeing the early tanks depicted like the short barrel T-34s and KV-1s and of course, the Panzer 38ts
U forgot to mention that the tank engine was off & the crew need to reignite from outside. That's why they couldn't run away and fell prey to a cook with an axe
We dont actually know, theres no info on why they didnt move the tank since.. well, the captured men went straight to a POW camp. My personal theory is that the driver must have stalled it trying to leave, and since its a hand crank they were just stuck. Sereda of course was too busy not getting shot so its quite likelly he wouldnt have noticed such a thing. But thats a guess, nobody knows.
@@v.bieliaiev8202 Why are you trying to change history? Is this a trend now? Sereda was a citizen of the USSR, and was Russian, as even the ending of his surname says (Ukrainian surnames have "ko"/"uk" at the end)
Recently found this gem of a channel. And this is now my daily source of inspiration! Thank you for bringing such stories to the forefront, respecting their legacy and inspiring generations ahead!
When Soviet Union was a thing, my father was part of a tank/infantry training in russia. There was a tank assault and infantry had to put up smokes and take positions, one guy's equipment failed and also the radio did not work. So he took a shovel and ran towards the tanks, waving the shovel so that the tanks would notice him, and not drive over him. Later when training had concluded my father recalled how the commander went up to the guy who had waved his shovel and said. "It's not up to me but I would give you a medal for trying to attack a tank with a shovel."
Regardless of what side you choose in all these wars, stories like these are just amazing feats of heroism... A true hero for what he managed to do, my hat off.
When i read the title I briefly wondered "Yarnhub doing Battletech now?" Because in that setting there's a mech called "Axman" - which is specifically intended for melee against all kinds of targets including tanks.
It's especially funny because a mech running up and meleeing them is one of the biggest threats to tanks in Battletech, especially since many of them are armed with things like PPCs, LRMs and medium-caliber autocannons that perform poorly in close-quarters combat.
"You know, I asked an active-duty Army officer once - if an infantryman had to take on a tank one-on-one, how should he do it?" "And? What was his answer?" "'DON'T'. He swore that there's no way in hell a single infantryman could take down a tank by himself." "Interesting..."
Everyone: Tanks are the greatest beasts of war ever created. We should prepare and invest millions on the development of anti tank weapons Sereda: have you considered use axes?
The US army actually did a serious study on various such methods during WW2, including using big rocks against tanks. The conclusion was that it did work sometimes, but that it was still a terrible idea.
One of the things I love most about your videos is the music. The subtle hints and chords of other songs from movies and games always puts a smile on my face. Thank you for the video!
Спасибо за проделанную работу! Я родился в России, и все свои 20 лет прожил в России. Я ни разу не слышал об этом Герое Советского Союза, на уроках истории нам о нем не рассказывали. Благодарю Вас, за то что Вы провели мне своеобразный короткий и информативный урок истории, всего Вам хорошего! :)

with all due respect (these videos are great) there is nothing historically significant about random war stories. Do you better understand the context leading up to the conflict, or its effects on the world? do you better understand the unique ideologies of the nations at war? while stories like this are very fun, they are not "real history"; they are entertainment. History is about much more than brave soldiers and battlefield tactics.
@@nickb3164 There are plenty of archaeologists who are far more interested in learning more about the life of the average person than the deeds of kings and armies. History is history, and it's all worth learning.
The SFX are a nice touch, It really helps to the feeling of being there with Ivan and others. I hope, we will hear the sounds in the next animations aswell. good luck with your work!
There are plenty of other channels where you can fact check these stories, and see that these are not embellishments or fiction and not just great animations.
There are times were your better off out-smarting your enemy rather than outfighting them. And this man's story is a good example of that. My compliments to Sereda. I'm just sorry he never became a chief like he wanted too.
Completely out of point because we really give zero shit about “brave Ukrainians”, but yes , glory in the memory of the soviet heroes of the 1940s who gave up their life’s for our own future!
I appreciate the integrity of your videos, especially with your thumbnails. They are appealing but not too flashy. I’ve stopped watching Simple History because I can’t take those videos seriously anymore. Great animation too! I love the camera angles on the tank too. These animations get better with each video.
Hey… thanks for the animation, it’s great how your able to say so much if a story in only 8 minutes, thank you. Ivan polovich, rest with honor, 1919-1950
It wasn't German armor, as mentioned, but Czech armor with a German crew, because the Panzerkampfwagen 38 (t) was a light tank from the czechoslovakian manufacturer Ceskomoravska Kolben-Danek, developed before World War II.
Wow, amazing bravery as well as great thinking to fool the tank crew into believing there were multiple soldiers attacking! Loved the ‘dancing potatoes’ animation as the panzers approached, and the view of the thrown axe striking the tree. I also really appreciate you ending your videos with an epilogue of the character’s life after the highlighted incident. Thoughtful touch to include those.
"A tank is just a big iron coffin if you know how to defeated", personally I wouldn't recommend to use an axe but if it works for you I can't argue against that
An absolute madman-this fearless soldier not only captured an enemy tank and its entire crew, but he did so by pulling off a brilliant ruse. Alone and vastly outnumbered, he tricked the tank crew into believing they were surrounded by dozens of his comrades. Faced with what they thought was an overwhelming force, the enemy surrendered without hesitation. This astonishing feat not only turned the tide of that skirmish but also stands as a testament to his cunning and courage under fire.
6:45 this is Hardest task to do . When tank crew realizes that they have superior numbers, they will use tricks. a lone man tieing 4 men is very hard thing.
In Russian story telling the commander repeatedly states he wants Ivan to find meat. Ivan enraged he has to stay behind and knowing he cant find meat then soon hears armor rolling in. He covers the tarp on the tank and sets the tarp on fire while shouting orders. He smokes out the crew and finds a large stash of meat with them. His comrades are surprised to see the meat and mention the capture of the German tank as nothing special and what every soviet soldier can do. Of course they are joking and are truly impressed with his work.
@@sjonnieplayfull5859 What is remembered? He did some heroic deeds, and maybe because of that, he died young. For 99,9 percent of the people, nothing is remembered.

Great story and great video! Congrats! It is so sad however: once Ukrainians and Russians were fighting together and now against each other. Whoever prays, let's pray for peace, at least that's what we can do.
Just read history and you will see that Ruzzians used Ukrainians for their own purposes for 350 years, they called them brothers, and the next day they could stab them in the back, that’s the essence of Ruzzians

@@h.bjoewho6859 Yes, but he died young. It is not specified what, but such were those times.
@@ozymandiasnullifidian5590 At least more of him is remembered then just the plinth of his statue...
@@sjonnieplayfull5859 What is remembered? He did some heroic deeds, and maybe because of that, he died young. For 99,9 percent of the people, nothing is remembered. He will be remembered as The Hero of the Soviet Union which is no small thing, but if you have never seen this video you would never know about him.
@@ozymandiasnullifidian5590 And yet that is more then just the plinth of a statue with a name and a boast on it, read by one explorer, and told to some others. If I had not read that one story, your name would have been meaningless to me and probably even overlooked.
Great story and great video! Congrats!
It is so sad however: once Ukrainians and Russians were fighting together and now against each other. Whoever prays, let's pray for peace, at least that's what we can do.
Don't forget Belorussians, Kazakhstani, Uzbekistani and Armenian fought along side too😀
Just read history and you will see that Ruzzians used Ukrainians for their own purposes for 350 years, they called them brothers, and the next day they could stab them in the back, that’s the essence of Ruzzians
This channel is amazing, I've already watched 2 of your videos.
The editing is frigging superb.
Keep it up.
I just saw the story on a meme I didn't knew it was true
So just an axe, gun, and some fun, and he was able to take a whole tank?
hero of the USSR indeed. this was a funny yet inspiring video.
We play rock paper scissors. But its granite, tank, axe.
Hes truly a gigachad, had to fight a tank and still cooked food for his homies
A Ukranian hero defying all odds. How fitting
The soviet hero)))
They were so good that even the chefs could single handedly stop a tank
to be honest the tank had balls approaching the axe man like that
How incredibly goofy that a literal COOK took down a whole tank with an axe and his apron
He really took a axe and starts beating the machine gun like it took something from it
Yarnhub , Can you make a video about Franz Staudegger Tiger tank engagement with 50 T34s destroying 22 of them in a single day during the battle of Kursk
yes plsss
In the end lays the heaviest story yet to be told... Veteran's living afterwards...
How YarnHub is not over 1m subs is insane to me. I know it is a newer channel. What equally shocks me is the second Mystery channel does not have an equal amount of subs as the main.
Keep up the great content and that golden play button will be yours.
This man is a true soviet monster.
This guy is just Ukrainian, which is what we see today
I could never take this story seriously I’ve always found this incident cool that one man managed to trick a whole tank crew
