Btw there was an 88/L 71 PaK43 called Scheunentor so the 75mm PaK40 wasnt the heaviest

Watched some of your videos and they all deploy the MG42 wrong, the Zweibein needs to point at you with the spiked endings. That's how I learned it at my military time, and we used the MG3.

1:51 Between 18 and 24 hundred rounds per minute ? I don't think so...

German army needs to buy that guy a new pair of pants. His knee is sticking out of his trousers.

Hate for German reenactors is very depressing. People need to stop being so weak minded. I think people over react when they see the swastika. First of they are not bad symbols at all learn where they originate from and if the swastika is bad so is the Russian and American star. They also killed and raped innocent civilians - Nuclear bombings, Bombing of Tokyo, raping women in Berlin and Nam. In war there are no good or bad guys. Fighting for your country is never a bad thing or to be ashamed of. Surprisingly this message comes from a Slav.

Music in video ruins it

"You can't tell the story of the good guys without the bad guys."
I for my part think, that no side in WW2 was "good". The Wehrmacht burned down the eastern front (The Wehrmacht didn't kill the jews, these guys were the SS, those were Nazis to the bone, the Wehrmacht, the german main battle force, wasn't in this) , the allies bombed Dresden/Hamburg/Hiroshima/etc. More like "You can't tell the story of one side correctly without the story of the other side". -
Peinlich und mehr als lächerlich!

That german pronunciation.
-
Hail hitler in Illinois!
-
Really cool :D
-
nice review & how mr.russo got his helmet ! thanks for keeping history alive. p.s. yes a little less background music when the man is talking.
-
No need for background music hence thumbs down.

Love that the 37mm was set up to recoil!!!....Pure Awesome,....!!....

Couple of problems:
1) the nickname was Hitlers Buzzsaw
2) it a bipod on the MG42 not a tripod
3) Jack boot where not as common in the mid to late war
4) all american medium tanks in WW2 had at least a 75mm. the only ones that would have had a 37mm would have been light tanks like the Stuart or Locust, or in the top turret of a M3 Lee.
5) the M60 wasn't a modified Mg42, it took the recieve from the m60. the M60 was actually an amalgamtion of weapon designs from wwII, inlueding the bren gun (quick change barrel) and M1919 30 cal.
