Machines | Panzer Tanks - WWII German Tanks Documentary

1. The title is ambiguous. Panzer is the German abbreviation for Tank, so this title is basically, Tank Tank! Really, it should either be Panzers, or Tanks.
2. Okay for one thing the logo didn't bother me at all. Now for some corrections. The T-34 was first armed with a 57mm gun then a 76mm and finally a 85mm gun. The Sherman was never armed with a 85mm gun, it had a 75mm gun, low velocity. Then a 76mm and some had the big 105mm gun on it. The British rearmed some Shermans with a 17 pounder gun, I don't know what MM that is.
3. I wish the Germans produced the Lowe (Lion) Tank.
4. 22:23
   Actually, the side skirts were added as a defense against the Russian 14.5mm Anti-Tank Rifles. Only Germany really used HEAT shells and the side skirts wouldn't have done anything against them anyway.
5. Nice vid, thanks for sharing!
6. I like how this fucker puts his name over the whole video as a fucking watermark, like he owns this documentary.
7. The very crudeness of the production of the T34 is a badge of honour.
8. 13:30 A very good point. If in late 43 the Germans faced the fact that they were fighting a defensive war, & simplified production to mass produce PzIVs, StuG IIIs (PzIII chassis/75mm gun) & Hetzers (Pz38 chassis/75mm gun) it would have been most beneficial & the sheer numbers able to be made would have been decisive. Glad they didn't.
9. The biggest mistake British and American did in WW2, they should not be give Russians lend lease, and instead of Bombing Germany in 1942-1945, they should bombed Leningrad and Moscow, to help German to win the War against Communist Evil, and German would be able to produce more Tiger 1 and Panther 1 tanks and win the War on the East. It would be the events of 1990s came much closer like in 1945, with complete crush of Communist Evil Empire, and established the Free Democratic Europe from Ural to Atlantic shores!!!
10. the tiger protected its crew better, but left the whole army vulnerable simply because of the difficulty of manufacturing it severely limiting the number produced
11. Also 1 Maus did see action and was destroyed by an lucky ammo rack explosion....
12. Schuerzen or side skirts were not put on German tanks to defeat shaped charged weapons. They were to stop Russian Anti Tank Rifles.
13. tank more like stank xD
14. There's something oddly satisfying in seeing the viciously arrogant superior attitude of the Nazis being shredded to pieces.
15. Dude dont mind these idiots complaining about the watermark, its barely visile and audio quality is 11/10, keep the good work up
16. I'm getting triggered too much with this. I'm calling it 13:08 you know, the only reason why the T-34 and the M4 Sherman ever have a reputation, its simply because there were so damn many the Germans would run out of shells.
17. 8:40 JgPanzer IV (Late) armed with a 75mmKWL/40 and could quite literally tear into any Allied tank like it was butter. I'm sorry I'm knit picky as fuck with German works of art.                                                                                                                     (Edit): FUCK ALMIGHTY! if I had a penny every time I heard the PZ4 was the best tank of its time I'd never say anything again! But seriously though, the ammo is right behind the driver and hull MG sticking straight up and just begging to be shot. whoever thinks the PZ4 is a superb tank is lying to themselves.
18. very well documented and thank for sharing. Informative as well as evolutionary xJes
19. t34-85 is perfectly capable of penetrating a tiger 1 from the front if unangled. tiger1 design is mostly outdated in 1944. it is the tiger2 king tiger that really can be called invulnerable from the front, though even tiger2 can be knocked out by an APDS shell from a 17 pounder gun. and the 3d model in this vid is completely crap.
20. sigh, where to start? OK, the Russkies did not have hollow charge weapons (maybe some bazookas) - Schürzen was probably a defense vs ptrd effective close up. Shermans were not upgrade to 85mm guns, T34 was. Shermans were upgraded to 76.2 and other improvements including extra armor, new turrets and more. The Soviet allies prized Shermans and issued them to Guards Units; they could spot a stinker and named Grant 'coffin for 7 brothers', so they knew what they were doing.
