"off the cuff" - proceeds to talk in detail constantly with military and geo-political context. This is why I support them on Patreon. We need to keep the Tank Museum going at this time. You get to enjoy presentations and videos from world-renowned experts.
The curator keeps dazzling us with his sense of style! That coat is awesome.
I hope he will tell us what it is and where he got it!
Yeah was just about to say, what a great Greatcoat :-)
Indeed.

@@nightjarflying Thank You! I still have a 1952 Canadian Army wool cap, stiff brim, chinstrap, plastic in the top, warmest hat I've ever worn.
Amazing "off the cuff" "stream of consciousness" commentary. Concise, detailed explanations. Well done, you!
David is practicing social isolation while being highly productive, informative and entertaining.
@@ihjackson5558 ___You can hear that it's taking a bit of a toll on his vocal chords too.
Paused this 5 minutes in just to say how much I'm enjoying the emphasis on doctrine in this talk. I love the normal tank chats but learning the thinking behind the development of the equipment is even better. More like this please!
I'd love to see an interwar "age of experimentation" hall with all of the interesting prototype tanks. I remember they were mostly crammed together about a decade ago but a proper dedicated hall or section for them would be brilliant.
I concur Sir
agreed
that would be amazing!
That's one hell of a coat
It's like a US Army Mackinaw coat
@@faeembrugh Close, it's a 1950's-style Canadian Army Mackinaw Jeep Coat Barnstormer. Heavy Canvas and Wool Lining.
His coat asserts dominance
We need a 40 minute video on that jacket. That a seriously good looking thing.
Sorry David, I know it’s not about clothes, but that’s a good looking coat!
It it really suits you!
My Dad was trained on the Bren Gun Carrier when he was in the reserves during WW2. The war ended before he was old enough to serve in battle...Thank God. My grandfather served in WW1 in the First Canadian Motor Machine Gun Brigade, and they had mobility with the Autocar machine gun carriers. Great video!

Can I just say a big thank you to all the museums doing stuff like this. It makes more of a difference than ya know.
I would listen Davids (both of them) for whole day long and still be amazed how much of a knowledge they have.
This is better than watching the tele.
The coat is armour. Protects The Curator from his garden.
I don't know when this was filmed, but it's been hot and sunny in South West England for the last few days, nobody's wearing winter coats. I hope David's fit and well.
@@obugger judging by the fact the sun isnt out here / it looks very grey might have been filmed a while ago since as you mentioned it's been lovely lately
Thank you SO MUCH for these videos. Getting this perspective would not be possible even in normal days. I may not ever be able to travel to be in your facility, but you have taken me in your museum.
Heart felt thanks from a hopeful US citizen.
Thank you, we need more experts. You are a master of your subject and a talented communicator.
Necessity is the mother of invention...and this is a brilliant invention. I love this, this is like an excellent quality Audio tour combined with a virtual tour!
What an excellent commentary on the inter-War period. Concise and extremely informative. Really enjoyed it, thank you.
Skoda was already the leading arms factory during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so it was more an inheritance not a response. Love this channel, great work! Fascinating history telling, Empire on the cheap, it was paralleled by the RAF and interbellum aerial bombing operations.
As for peace dividend, we should have had one after the cold war, unfortunately the military industrial complex took care of that and after the so-called war on terror we are now re-entering cold war v2.0
Thank so much David - best wishes.
Thank you for taking the time to publish these videos.
started video...quickly hit pause and grabbed a cup of tea to kick back and enjoy the "stream of consciousness" talk....keep them coming please
I'll never tire of listening to David talk. He's got so much knowledge to impart and always does so in a way that "off the cuff" for him seems polished and prepared for anyone else
Thank you for these items you are putting out during the "frightfulness" greatly appreciated
I call it the current unpleasantness
What a treasure the museum is ⭐️
I can^t believe how much style the Curator (with intentions capital C) puts in every word, in every video, in the very style. Whoever said that man is his style, she or he war right talking about the Curator. Great video!
i must say that was an impeccable fluent descriptive talk
Magnificent for Off the Cuff. College level education from the Curator kept interesting and entertaining.
I love how nature loves David & The Tank Museum - the other Finn the dog joined in, now its that bush / tree and its over enthusiatic branch.
Excellent video!! Thanks! Hope all is well across the pond, from your friends The States.( Tennessee)
Thank you for a marvelous discussion.
Yet more superb lockdown content. Thank you
I can't tell you how much this is appreciated. There's sources of information aplenty about armour during the wars, but the developments of the interwar period are generally ignored or given short shrift. Thank you!
Great video program. I enjoy the military history you share weekly and have learned more about post WWI and Pre WWII than I new. Thank you from South Carolina.
I am loving this series of David's explaining the ideas that were present in the various periods of the past century. This thinking was crucial in how countries prepared for self defence. If one good thing has come out of the current crisis it's that David has been brought out to the enlightenment of us all. Thank you Tank Museum.
Superb, informative film. Loved having David talking to us from the garden. Professional and entertaining. Really enjoyed it. Thank you. 👍🏻😊
Love these videos, thank you. Stay safe 👍🏻🇦🇺
An excellent presentation, thanks. 😃👌👏👏👏
Very interesting take on the diplomacy before the actual war. Makes a lot of sense on what Chamberlain’s frame of mind was during his negotiations with Hitler.
brilliant video, thank you and stay safe and healthy!
Excellent presentation. If only my history professors were this interesting and erudite! Well done, sir.
Yet another interesting, well presented and educational talk from David Willey.
This really should be a continued format. I'm enjoying the more intimate, unscripted approach as much as the "regular' videos.
Excellent series. Well done
I've become an absolute fan of your virtual visits. Go on, despite this closing time !
Great video, thanks for keeping us entertained!
Brilliant!
Thank you again!
Brilliant overview history. Looking forward to visiting the museum itself.
Thank you for making the effort to make these videos. Many gaps have been filled in my education and things make more sense. I imagine many tank buffs study a lot more than I but for someone at my level you are doing fine work. Cheers.
Another terrific talk. Thank you!
Facinating stuff. Keep up the good work guy's. Filling the time with something useful and interesting 👍
I bet the tank Museum is really cool to see in person
Very good historical background and unique from what I've seen!
The UK applied a similar "10 year rule" as it decided to accept a carrier gap. They phased out the Invincible class without a successor class in service. So that thinking is still around.
I can only watch/listen in awe as mister Willey talks faultlessly off the cuff for 30 minutes straight. Hardly an "ehm..." in sight. That's even more impressive than his coat.
Thank you for your courage sir ,thank you for the good content,I learnt a great deal
David, that was amazing. To do an ad lib talk like that is impressive!
"It's the economy, stupid." - attributed to James Carville.
The dark god Logistics has many names.
Well said.
For me personally, the bit 20 minutes in underlines my own claims at parties, or in pubs, or during beer marathons at the beach, over the last 25 or so years: Deutche Wochenshau is still being seen as reliable documentation, and warping the perception of the logistics of WWII. -But unless one is watching from MT Pegasi (~79.2 LY away), one can find sources like this, that might get much closer to putting the light on that the German logistics relying mostly on horses, trains and walking infantry, from the beginning of the war, and until the end.
Thank you , Mr Willey .
That economics aspect it's very important and othen overlooked, it's not just that a matter of militaries around that world couldn't see the potential of tanks but also a matter of what they could afford to buy or maintain.. for example two Vickers exports was brought in some point by the Greek army for evaluation
The Greeks went " wow " with the new toy ... but the country was almost bankrupted and they never order more of them.. although that original vehicles helped the Greek army to realise what was the potential of those new weapons and how they could change the battlefield .. they also came to realise that since they don't have their own tanks (as they would like to )they had to find ways to neutralise the threat
At the end of WW1 most countries were broke. It wrecked economics all over Europe. No one had money for new fangled toys, especially if, like he said, they thought that war on that scale would never happen again.
Yes. It annoys me when young youtubers view WW1 and 2 history like a video game. Asking why Brits etc didn’t have snarling Tiger-like tanks of our own in 1939 etc the truth is we were skint, gut sick of warfare and no one wanted / voted for more war. We did well for the time. But Another war seemed totally pointless and insane. No civilians wanted it unlike in Germany (insane) it was crazy and the Germans could never have held their short term gains. So our planners could not foresee that insanity. It all Arguably made Soviets more effective and organised too so = the Cold War after. What horrific damage it all caused so pointlessly. Lest we forget.
@@pistonar well that was the case in 1920s but in 1930s I think it was starting to get obvious were things are going, I remember my grandfather ones told me that His father, a cavalry reserves officer told how to shoot a gun when he was 11 years old,because according to his father '' if a new war " breaks out, and he is being called to active duty, my grandfather and his siblings might found themselves being on their own and they must know how to hunt for food or protect them selves ..
@@Surv1ve_Thrive yes it's annoying, after all we are talking about human lives here
pistonar I agree. Smaller conflicts were foreseen if you look at military procurement that is certain. But for Germany to drive into Paris and Warsaw etc and claim those cities and countries as their own for ever by installing a few dumb facist German soldiers in bunkers and government offices is just ...it’s impossible to say how insane and stupid. This was in modern times. Almost like now. Many of them still alive now. It would never work long term. What agony it would have been under perpetual occupation Never has worked before.
I see it as mass murder pure and simple. Cult like insanity. Not because I want to see it that way but I just cannot see it any way else. The fighting communism argument etc etc doesn’t make much sense as it made the communists stronger and better organised and by invading so many countries Germany spread herself so thin.
Thanks for another great video.
Brilliant video thank you.
Fascinating period - thank you!
Another fascinating talk.
David great job. Thank you.
Love this! Great content! Keep it up!
The interwar years of Tank development is fascinating, ideas a plenty, and different directions for many countries
It' time for a Revisit - So much has changed since my last visit! Cracking video ~ Cheers
Thank you for entertaining us at this time with some educational material. I truly prefer learning more about items of historical significance especially those of a vehicle that has changed land warfare to the same degree as a horse changed land warfare so long ago.
It struck me at 21m 10s that David is a properly dapper looking historian ...for a fusty ol' Curator!
Very impressive talk, without notes. WOW👍☕️
Awesome vid. Great work. Thanks for post. 🖖🏻🇦🇺
Awesome! Very well presented
Great idea to take advantage of the strange situation and walk and talk about the museum unscripted and natural. More please...
That winter coat is epic!
After the Corona virus I'm going to bovington!
I Would like to as well
Booked for tankfest. I may gift them the money.
DIno_Pekaar74 see you there.
Well, I got the all access day for October for my birthday, I really hope that can go ahead..
More great content. Thank you.
Excellent content.
I think that if several museums cooperated, you could end up with a good overview of what went wrong. Including why winning wars can be disastrous.
Of course, to be useful, brutal honesty is required, so we won't see that.
I see a Tank museum video I automatically click like and even watch the ads so they get the money.
Fantastically interesting episode. Thank You
But where's the Dog?
Apparently your pleasant spring weather lasted about as long as ours (central New Jersey USA) did.
Looking forward to a return to normal, but I can also see missing this sort of thing. This was wonderful to watch and listen to :) I'm sure all that editing took a few days at least, hence the weather difference people are talking about :) Well done on both fronts.
That coat is epic how he wears it in the heat here in the UK at the moment I don’t know
I think he picks up some nice morning light for those shots.
I ride my bike wearing shorts in the middle of the day in the sun but very early in the morning, I hear the heating system starts working due to temp. drop to zero or -1'C outside. Still, I'm from Poland but it is similar as I looked.
It was 80F here in Alabama A few days ago last night it went down to 37F. Crazy weather this week.
"heat"
Mornings are still cold.
thank you
I learned something; thank you.
you are correct about only the spear head of germany being mechanized, however Germany had six armoured divisions in September 1939; the Allies, though they had a large number of tanks, had no armoured divisions at that time. That in comparison was one big spear head!
Very enlightening video…can you tell what happens to the horses that are replaced with vehicles?
02:07 "...and would never be needed again!" -- Or why Finland as the only Nordic country that didn't thought like that after the Cold War ended, today can drive semi trailer trucks with face masks and other protective medical equipment out of their concealed Cold War warehouses. Respect to the Finns.
Was that a single take? Amazing. David apologised at the end, for what?
I have a question, you mentioned that there was to be A big tank push in 1919,before the powers at be, knew about the Armistice. Do you think, most would have broke down, like other large tank attacks previously? Great videos, very informative, great for these times. Thanks.
Excellent!
The virtual museum clips shown, is that available? It's unlikely that I would ever be able to visit in person, but to "walk through" and read the displays would be a real treat.
Yes you can, just follow the below www.tankmuseum.org/year-news/bovnews79638
Good stuff thanks!
Awesome chat.
Back to the previous video with Q&A on Leopard 1 you would like to get into Bovington - Poles had few Leopards 1A5 to spare. At least the last time I noticed.
The songbird effect The Curator has put in on top of the sound track is quite cool.
(Had he put on the bird volume little lower, he would have completely fooled me!)
Poland in the '35. Buying the 6-ton Vickers design.
Calls it 7TP but makes it a 10t tank - obviously.
Moves to 9TP as a name suggests it's an 11,5t piece.
Ends up with a TP10 - the prototype of a 14-ton medium tank in '39.
With license built Bofors 37mm AT cannons that could trash all German and Soviet tanks i 1939 (sadly not enough money to build 3000 of them - the few light tanks that were in service were a menace but not enough and lacking air cover.)
Loved it!! What engine powers Little Wllie
Brilliant once again, but where is the dog? Please tell me you didn’t lock him away but that he is current filming his top five tanks. Now that would be good. 😀
Hope to visit this September if CV reduces so can fly into UK.
Thanks.
Well done indeed!!
