One tank had to be restored the other one just survived the war. That’s why the Sherman is still seeing service by other countries meanwhile the tiger 2 is only for show now
I had an old buddy, long departed, that actually fought for the US in WWII, and was in the Ardennes, and he said every time they saw a King Tiger, it scared the hell out of them! One time, they were sitting still, in a road, and one just came out of the woods on the right side of the road, and kept going across and to the left, back into the woods there, and they figured that Tiger never saw them, or it was hauling to get more ammo or gas. Either way, they sat still and waited for an hour and nothing more, they were so scared. Tells the power of this amazing beast! True story!
As an American kid growing up watching WW2 documentaries I think the germans had the cooler toys. MG-42, Tiger II, German Half tracks, a car that goes in the water Schwimmwagen. Kettenkrad HK 101 are my favorites. Plus the german helmet Stahlhelm ('steel helmet ) 😁
Bedder Looking, yes. Bedder in general, no. Hard to produce, expensive, not easy to maintain. But the best in ergometrics. Inovative would be the right word.
The beautiful thing about these old olive drab and gray and brown and blue and chrome and grayish green hunks of steel and Iron and aluminum etc. is that they will be telling the stories of the men who operated them at crucial points in history long after those men are no longer able to tell those stories themselves. God bless those who take care of these old weapons of war and preserve them and their stories for posterity so that God forbid their stories will ever be forgotten.
Great video. Interesting to see, and to keep in our minds the horrors of warfare that still go on today . We must remember our past to move forward to a world of peace.😊
Sur place c était impressionnant et magnifique avec du matériel en bonne état et fonctionnel et certains sur les petites routes avec leur camion et dépanneuse d époque
Le Halftrack Htm16 (4 mitrailleuses de dca) était encore en service dans mon régiment en 1984... Un officier américain de passage était impressionné par le soin porté à nos anciens véhicules destinés à la "décoration" de la caserne... il a fallu lui avouer qu'il s'agissait de notre couverture anti aérienne ...
Thanks for the video. My uncle Don landed on Omaha beach June 6,1944 with an artillery battalion of the US Army. It's difficult to imagine the horrors they endured that day. Very interesting to see the kinds of equipment they had . It's a wonder they got any of it off the beach! Thanks again!
These videos are always GREAT to see. Watching these vehicles still running is wonderful considering their age and history. HOWEVER, I find it disappointing we NEVER get to see any turret traversing. Just driving around and around. Do these turrets still rotate or not? Maybe show one tank taking aim at another, or just lining up on a simulated target. Seeing them drive around and around and around, when we know they did so much more...AT least show a turret move.
I Love that 'Priest' artillery tank..... Just THINKING of All of those tanks.....back 80 years ago.... fighting amongst each other around in France. May A L L those men ( and civilians - men, women, and children ) Rest In Peace. J'adore ce char d'artillerie 'Priest'.....

Kraus Maffei gab es damals schon.Aber ich glaube nicht als Panzerhersteller.Ich denke Henschel in Kassel hat ihn gabaut nach Vorlage von Porsche.Ich sammle auch Modelle.🙂
Je suis le type qui tourne la manivelle avec le militaire à l'arrière du Tigre 2 à 0:40 😄 Ce fut une expérience unique que je me souviendrai toute ma vie. Surtout que le monsieur est venu chercher quelqu'un au hasard dans le public et m'a dit "tu as de la force, tu veux démarrer le char avec moi ?" I'm the dude actionning the crank with the tank crewman behind the Tiger 2 at 0:40 😄. This was a unique experience that I'll remember my whole life. Above all the good sir came looking for someone randomly in the crowd and he said to me "do you have strength ? Do you want to start the tank with me ?"
Es el mismo del museo de blindados de saumur pero repintado? Quedo hermoso! Tengo una foto con él del año pasado 2023 con el camuflaje antiguo! Numeral rojo 233.
Der Tiger ist einfach ein wunderschönes Stück Technik. Schon damals seiner Zeit voraus und ein Wegbereiter zu heutiger Panzertechnik. Ein weiteres Jahr Entwicklung in diese Kampfmaschine und es gäbe wohl niemandem auf dem Schlachtfeld mehr der ihn hätte gefährlich werden können. Höchst beeindruckend.
Don't talk nonsense. In the next year there would already be tanks that would be able to threaten the Tiger 2 tank, such as the ISU-122, IS-3, Centurion or M-26.
Some great combinations of old and new and model variations on the Shermans with turrets and hulls, equipment etc. Nice to see the longer M4A4 compared to the other marks.
Nice display, but there were no Tiger tanks on Omaha Beach, there were retro-fitted French tanks, all the Tiger and Panther tanks were with the Panzer units fighting the Canadians and British around Caen.
No Firefly's at Omaha, they were used by British and Canadians. 21st Panzer, equipped with French trophy armour, would be the first armour encountered in the Battle of Caen.
The Tiger 2 looks menacing, until it got Humbled by a Sherman Firefly (dont hate me but yes the Fireflies are Tiger killers and can knock out King Tigers earning it the reputation as "Tiger Killers")
70 tonnes pour 700ch... 1ch pour 100kg ! Proportionnellement une 4L est 5 fois plus puissante !... Ce monstre était une ineptie, une débauche de matière inutilement employée. Mais ça reste une belle démonstration de ce qu'il ne faut plus faire... Et un travail de restauration fantastique !
It’s a good thing the Axis wasted so much time, effort, resources and lives on Wunderwaffe like the King Tiger. Otherwise they might’ve stood a chance to win if they focused on practicality and usability like they did with the Stug and Pzr IV instead of on power and intimidation.
The Germans made the Stug III out of old PZK3 chassis. The Germans are too stingy to just dump them, so they made Stugs with them. They literally fell into making the tank killers to not waste material.
Always many discussions about the superiority of the German tanks over the Shermans. Sure they were heavier and larger than the Sherman's but that was a problem that couldn't be matched in the USA due to everything had to be loaded on Liberty ships. So, rather than make fewer larger tanks to match the Tiger's, make tens of thousands of smaller tanks and that would overwhelm the German armour.
I'd say that the more iconic is the Tiger I. The Tiger II is surely the most impressive, although together with the big qualities had really huge issues
Tiger II is a definition of a failure and a great example of how shortsighted Germans were during WW2 This tank was plagued with issues, most of the 500 units they made were found abandoned on the side of the road. If it didn't break down or catch on fire it run out of fuel. If it miraculously managed to avoid doing any of that it got bombed, because Luftwaffe couldn't contest the air space, let alone gain aerial superiority or supremacy There's a reason they lost the war and there's a reason we don't have heavy tanks anymore I can't make you care, but I hope you realize its not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of denying that reality exists
@@tetrahedron4752 All true, although the Panther was also plagued with issues too when it rolled out. When they were able to work the kinks out it was regarded as one of, if not best tanks in the war. Given more time, The Tiger 2 may have been in a similar status...thankfully not though.
@@pyrowarhorse9738 The Tiger series was an impractical, over-engineered vanity project. They should have focused on the PZK V, their best tank, and a faster more maneuverable masterwork. Thank God Almighty they did not.
That tiger 2 is glorious. Imagine that beast rumbling towards your position...
When you look at the allied tanks adjacent and the size of this thing and it’s gun, they must have been very brave this thing looks unstoppable
@@martyincanuckistan3635 right!!! its unreal that these fought one another
Fucking thing would break well before it reached your position🤣
Then the fucking engine catches fire!
I wont be looking at it coming towards since it has broken down
le tiger II dans ses couleurs et son marquage d'origne de la 503 est magnifique!
Damn, Stuart is fast! And wonderful new paint job on Saumur Tiger II.
This Tiger from Saumur or the other one from Switzerland, renovated to running condition?
@@mr1724 from Saumur Tank museum ,the only Tiger II who can move alone
One tank had to be restored the other one just survived the war. That’s why the Sherman is still seeing service by other countries meanwhile the tiger 2 is only for show now
Paraguay just brought Sherman’s back into active service early this year just for example
The new paint scheme on the King Tiger is awesome! 😍

Dude, the Tiger II.... it's SCARY. I'm totally in love with it, what a gorgeous piece of tank.
Was für ein fantastisches Gerät der Tiger II, Königstiger ❤ herzlichen Dank dafür, tolles Video.
5:05 What an adorable family of 5. I'm sure the kids love their Kettenkrad.
That was fantastic. Tiger II looks great in its new paint scheme.
Vraiment exceptionnel de voir tout ces blindés ! Surtout pour un modeliste fana de la 2eme...
Gros merci!!!

Je pense qu'en Belgique, ces engins ont "traîné" longtemps également (fin '70 en tout cas)...
Excellent comme anecdote ! Dans le genre, mon père a passé son permis poids-lourd autour de ces années à l'armée sur un GMC..
Pour ma part dans notre régiment,, nous avions encore des jeeps et GMC, début 86 😂
Encore en service jusqu'en 1993 dans l'artillerie sol-air française.
The Work done to keep Old American surplus Vehicles Is quite Remarkable
Especially The Finnish and Uruguayan Tanks
Great Vibe
Sad Disability
Le firefly est tellement bruyant c'est incroyable. Quel moteur!!
Amazing works of art and military technology.
M24 looks very modern for its time.
80 years later and still looks badass. The Tiger, not the Firefly.

This is the equivalent of taking your construction toys out and rolling them around in the mud for all the other kids to see
I love these types of video's, thanks for sharing
The Sherman Firefly looks great with the bigger gun!
My Dad was deafened by a Tiger 2 tank in WW2 and here in. NZ we have Sherman (moulded hull) tank in a museum.. thanks mate from down under 👍🇳🇿

Have you ever seen the IS-2, IS-3 or ISU-152, that was a nice bang not the Tiger. The Tiger was complete miscarriage.

If I'm correct only the British had firefly tanks and they're where no king tiger tanks in Normandy.
There were plenty of Tigers in Normandy, all facing the Commonwealth troops.
