ikr..... But Russia and America were just able to out mass-produce them by numbers that were just out of sight. True, Germany was able to about make 25,000 Panzerkampfwagen IVs, but Russia and America more than eclipsed that. But sure, I agree. The German war machine was a force to be reckoned with.
The best tank of WWII, the russian T-34, was also started the same exact way. Electric starters weren’t that powerful in those days. Shit, when it was cold, tank crews drained the oil and warmed it by fire…that way it was easier to start.
@@deplorablelibertarian Yes. I like theirs too. My favorite T-34 is the model 1941 T-34/76 in either the welded or cast turret. That thing's nifty. I also like my own country's Sherman and M-48 Patton. Love the Sherman Firefly also. Thanks for the input.
@@deplorablelibertarianI wouldn’t say that the t34 was the best tank of ww2 the best heavy tank was definitely the is2 but the best tank was probably just the classic Sherman it was reliable and could fit many roles
The German tanks were okay at best. Yes, the Tiger was good, but not much else. Yes I do hold this view for most tanks in WW2. The only other good tank there was in my eyes were the Sherman's and variants, and maybe the British crusader and Cromwell. Everything else was crap or just okay. Though my favourite tank is absolutely the Panzer II. Literally just because it's small and fast.
👌😉👍The Panther Tank has always been one of my all time favorite WW2 Tanks of the German army as well as the many various other of the Tanks and other vehicles shown here as well indeed!.
@daffyduk77 that's true for almost any tank duel in WW2, I'm talking about the number of times I've read of Fireflies knocking out the heavy panzers, especially the Panther.
man i rather own this than a sports car anytime . imagine owning some of this and park it in your garage ❤❤❤❤❤ the best vehicle ever build by mankind ❤❤❤
Hermosos tanques. Creo que por respeto a esos monumentos con Ruedas, no deberían asomarse los que van en ellos, perdón, pero sería genial ver solo los tanques. Gracias por compartir Beautiful tanks. I think that out of respect for those monuments with Wheels, those who ride in them should not look out, sorry, but it would be great to see just the tanks. Thanks for sharing
Is the Panther the one that was shipped from the UK after being restored by the 'Combat Dealers crew?. An excellent collection of runners...brilliant !
When you're stood in a slit trench on Salisbury plain at just before dawn, any tank that's heading your way is intimidating. You can hear the roar of a chieftain tank from 5 or 6 miles away.
Panthers are the most beautiful of these rare beasts. The engineering is another level apart from the final drive. The French adopted the Panther post WW2 and gave probably the the most honest assessment of it. The final drive was prone to breaking if the driver put it under unnecessary duress so in the final months of the war novice drivers probaly accounted for a huge amount of them being abandoned to the enemy. Love German AFVs across the board but many were way too complicated for mass production under wartime conditions.
the Panther had a gun- 75 mm KWK-42 high velocity armament. that shell developed at about 3300 f/s compared to the M2 75mm gun on the shermans which was 2050 f/s . the Panther shell could go through the front of the early variants of Sherman and out the other side. and the Shermans couldnt get thru the Panthers front armor no matter how hard they tried.
The PzKpfw V Panther remains controversial today as touted as the best tank to come out of WW2. Certainly the Americans with their late-war M26 Pershing and the British with their late-war Challenger tanks will contest that. Still, the Panther remains admired for its pleasing external design aesthetics, even though tanks were not meant to be manmade objects of beauty. Nonetheless, despite objections from M26 Pershing and Challenger advocates, the Mark V Panther entered combat service in late 1942 and went through three iterations to correct or improve its early technical faults, bugs, and shortcomings. Many were corrected by the third Mark (Ausfahrung) in 1944 but lingering maintenance problems still plagued the Panther. Had the Panther possessed the mechanical reliability of the M4 Sherman, certainly it might have taken the award for best WW2 tank design hands down. The Panther thus saw extensive combat service unlike the Pershing and Challenger. If anything proved to be the Panther's greatest drawback was its low production numbers, around 6,000 units. The Panther, in possible much greater numbers along with more Tiger I tanks, would have given the Allies and the Soviets greater trouble and possibly prolonged the war. As it was, the German Army already possessed the capable, reliable PzKpfw IV, the direct counterpart to the M4 Sherman, but was not able to produce the massive numbers truly needed. The Allies, especially the U.S. and the USSR, outproduced the Germans.

They never show the most intimidating parts of the German tanks....the optics, cannon rounds, etc...I once read an article of an American tank crew during WWII that had an opportunity to examine an abandoned Panzer; the commander ordered one of the crew to go inside the panzer and check it out. He came back after awhile and just sat there...stunned. The American tank commander asked him what he saw, but the crewman could hardly speak. Finally he said "I quit, I wanna go home". He went on to describe the unbelievable superiority of the Panzers gun optics 😂....he said they can see us clearly at over a thousand yards, they can place their rounds precisely where they want them far beyond what we can, we are so overmatched, I just wanna go home.
Great video, thanks. A lot of hard work and dedication right here. But I can't help thinking that dudes in baseball caps operating these tanks contradicts all the authenticity they represent... ok, members of the public taking a ride I guess.
No, that's a SD. Kfz 171 Panzerkampfwagen V Panther Ausführung D. Easily recognisable by the viewing hatch with angle mirror in the front armour. On the dome of the hatch for the commander and on the exhaust pipes marvels of carnivore coating.
When the starter went out in my M-60, they simply hooked me up to another tank and pulled me forward as I pumped the manual fuel pump with built in fuel heater. I guess they don't have anything to do that for them in the museum.
I just love Panther. A combination of beauty and ferocity
With beauty and ferocity you could win Miss Universe - not war.
