I can see that memorial plate is causing a lot of confusion. Please read the description. I've stated that: "In 5:10 you can see a memorial plate showing a KV-1 heavy tank. Today many historians agree that it was KV-2 tank. Notice the fact of 6 men crew instead of 5 as it would be in case of KV-1."
Even in war the enemies that hate each other the most can show the deepest of respect. True war is ugly and true it can be atrocious but it's stories like this that truly show the will power some people really possess. And the great lengths they will go to protect their homes and their people. Rest In Peace KV2 crew, your names may be lost to some if not many. But your heroism will live on and echo throughout history.
My respects to the KV-2 Crew.You shall not be forgotten,R.I.P.

Thanks for the movie! Many heroes gave their lives in this war, we will not forget! (Спасибо за фильм! Многие герои отдали свои жизни в этой войне, мы их не забудем!)
Great video!! 🙂 i loved the KV-2 since I was a kid when I saw it in the game Panzer General.... it looks so awesome and fearsome in a goofy kind of way, like the Soviets just fitted the biggest gun they could find onto a tank chassis, low profile or practicality be damned. It's still one of my favourite tanks today!
I merged 2 views using a mask tool. Then used tracker so the mask stays where the optics are. And finally added some feathering to create this nice soft edge.
Well, many believe that the so called “monster” was a KV-2 but it was actually a KV-1. In the picture from the memorial, it says KV-1 tank Crew, and below the names of the crewmen are written
Fantastic! I've earned this medal in wot blitz and was interested to find out more about it and this is an excellent interpretation of what was achieved by the kv crew! And for the Germans to bury them with honours too at such an early time in the war that it goes to show how much respect was commanded to that tank crew. Keep up the good work!
I dont know where you get information that was kv-2 but people who actualy saw that tank after this event in Raseiniai confirmed that was kv-1 tank. I'm Lithuanian and we know this story.

On June 22nd 1941 the Red Army was neither partially mobilized nor unprepared. It had more tanks than the rest of the world's armies combined (24.000, the Germans had 3250!) some 8.000 combat planes and 8.000.000 troops, all posed to strike at the rear of the Germans. But these Germans were not stupid, they striked first, but they had no idea that things like the KV 2 and the T34 existed.
After tanks fail to destroy KV2 it was engaged by two 8.8cm anti tank guns.....first 8.8cm failed to even deploy before it was obliterated by the 152mm HE....(as they tried deploying it directly in front of KV2)......the second 8.8cm was snuck behind KV2 while it was distracted by the failed infantry with explosive charges.....(second 8.8cm was what finally took out the KV2.....the crew were buried alongside their tank
actualy i know realised that our town was made war thunder map (when you could play community made ones) im really happy that our little city of 12k peaple has so many videos about this battle
Impressively well done. Congrats. I couldn't believe the KV missed the first shot. As if it was firing the first time. That was a little unrealistic given smoking older wrecks ;)
@@Ares28Pictures thanks, however i did not find any data about 6-th panzer division battke order by start of "Barbarossa".

My grandfather served in the 6th PD and he had some pictures of this KV 2 in his private photo-album. German soldiers call the KV 2 with nickname "Dicker Bello" ( literally something like "fat dog".

Hello Ares28, this video of yours is by far the greatest video which you've created (so far) :D I really like the visual effects as well as the sound effects. The voice acting is greatly done and the choice of music is done greatly too :) And the camera movement and different camera angles which you've used are one of the best I've seen so far. I adore your work...a great masterpiece
Very well done! There's only one little thing: I understand that you tried to bypass the ä in 'Panzerjäger'. In that case you'd have to use ae, not ea... You don't find many high quality War Thunder short movies like this. Keep up the good work! ^^
It's always pleasing to remember how the Wehrmacht was outclassed in Tank designs by the Soviets, and how ill informed, overconfident and inadequately prepared the OKH was for the task of conquering the Soveiet Union.
Thats what happens when you overestimate your own equipment and talk like no army on earth is capable of destroying you. Never underestimate your enemy, everyone who did ended up 6 feet under themselves.
I mean, while the Kv 2 could do its job can we really use it as an example for this? It ha many isuses, to be honest i'd put it really close to the ferdinand/elephant, the only difference is that soviets knew when to drop a bad designe, unlike the nazis.
@@coty.ott0359 False, In 43 the luftwaffe was brought to their knees, the Red Army took over air superiority. And in 43 germany didn't have enough oil to supply all their vehicles, ground or air. They had to salvage every drop from tank wrecks. By early 45 they didn't have a single drop left. Tanks were pushed by hand into dug out positions to be used as pillboxes. Germany lost the war the day army group south failed to seize the Caucasus oil fields and Hitler knew it.
Imagine being a German soldier and being told you had to fight in the Eastern Front knowing damn well of all the stories about the Night Witches, Vasili, the KV-2, Stalingrad, Leningrad and the ferocity of the Soviets (And that's just scratching the surface). All of a sudden fighting the Americans and British doesn't sound too scary.
you need to check out "Lego WW2 - Battle of Raseiniai - Stopmotion Animation". came here from there. It takes the cool beginning of this video, and develops it further
[English comment] In Games you have balancing... In REAL LIFE you have to fight what you encounter... And this was one hell of a encounter... Amazing historical Video :D // [a second German comment] Dieser deutsche Salutiert deinem Video :)

@@TheTankCrew if they let the fascist invade, they would all be systematically executed. Only the fittest and strongest might if been allowed to live on as forced labour workers, and in a suggestion made to Hitler as servants, which he quickly turned down.
Actually they weren't in their country. They were in the territory of Lithuania that was invaded by Soviets just less than year ago. Ironically under the secret protocols of Molotov-Ribbentrop pact that was concluded between Russians and Nazis en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pact Basically to invaders fought in the territory of third country in order to have control over it. Eventually Soviets caused more civil casualties and economical damage in the Baltics than Germans ever could.

This is the lesson we all have to learn - war is horror that we must never let it repeat. But, unfortunately, thanx to the Washington its getting often from year to year...
Washington annexed some canadian territory? damn... that's bitter Oh damn, my bad. It was Moscow that annexed some parts of the ukraine, how could i forget....
Relaxo Referendum you called annexy, yeah, right. You know something about that? Nooo. You just repiting that you heard on CNN or what ever you waching. Talk to some one who actually live in Crimea. Besides, ukrainians provide decommunization - Crimea was a gift of communists government in 1954. Firs Crimea declare independence and only then send request to be part of Russia. And by the way, how about Puerto Rico in US? Should I remind you that part? Maybe it is the Moscow who iterfere in the internal business of countries for the last 40 years? Rwanda, Sudan, Panama, Venezuela, Angola, Somalia, Philippines, Liberia, Georgia, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Haiti, Congo, Honduras, should I go on? Maybe it is the Moscow bombed the Yugoslavia? Or Iraq? Or Libya? How many people died because governments of this countries were wanted to provide independent external policy? How long US will be pressing North Korea and Iran? How long they will be supporting terrorists by weapons and ammunitions in Syria? Oh, right, this is not terrorists, this is moderate opposiotion, they cut the heads not from right to the left, but from left to the right, this changes everything, yeah. It is Nobel peace prize laureate Obama want to remove Assad at all cost. And thats why John Kerry call Obama to bomb Syria like Yugoslavia.
Relaxo Its you who started the insults, I wish that some one notice that. Ha! Who is moron now?) If there will be a war betwin RF and US, the tanks will be no use - we all (and you, and me, and the rest of the world) will be dead in half an our. East of Ukraine is independent republics, dic...khm. If they were part of Russia, no fighting would there now, just like in Crimea. Yeah, all who had opposite opinion is Kremlin-bots, this is your democracy. Looks like maidauns (its those mindless freaks who stand on maidan initially and burned unarmed police whith Molotov cocktail) infected you with stupidity virus. Yes, Russia have a past. Only The Bolshoi Theatre have more past then entire USA. We know what war on our own land bring to the people, unlike US. I'm realy, realy want good relationship between Russia and America, but Washington wants world domination, saying about exeptionality (what did you say about nazi?) and telling other countries what to do. In nineties US got Russia in their pocket. Puppet government did everything they say, but Washington destroyed this idyll by relations like you got now. You are not american puppet, you are simple western citizen like I was eastern about 14-16 years ago - curse all who look askance at my country, I were ready to nuke this "rotten west". But I got older and able to see some things in different ways. Russians are not enemies to the americans. Americans are not enemies to the russians. Together nothing is impossible. You'll realise that, you just need to get older.
You may fool some people for all the time or fool all the people for some time. But you can not fool all the people all the time. Your propaganda is like brain syphilis but how can be so many russians contaminated?

Wow, some germans still had honour.
To fair the crew where just charred piles of meat......
and buried the soviet crew with full military honors
Germans have had more honor in those days than you crap bag have hair!
i imagine all germans seeing this comment lol
Was wondering where the TD's Reconnaissance unit are... I guess I found out what happened to them at 1:28 Great video!!.
Класс! по больше таких роликов надо делать!
Excellent video! Loved the Aesthetics of battle.
3:26 Where can i get this soundtrack?
Hello Ares28,
this video of yours is by far the greatest video which you've created (so far) :D
I really like the visual effects as well as the sound effects.
The voice acting is greatly done and the choice of music is done greatly too :)
And the camera movement and different camera angles which you've used are one of the best I've seen so far.
I adore your work...a great masterpiece
Thank you for your positive opinion!
Ares28
You are welcome o7 :)
Спасибо тебе Ares28. Пусть бережёт нас наш разум от возможных войн. Peace everyone.
Panzers: Look at this dude
KV-2: Omae ra mu sheinderu
Panzers: Nani?
Very well done! There's only one little thing: I understand that you tried to bypass the ä in 'Panzerjäger'. In that case you'd have to use ae, not ea... You don't find many high quality War Thunder short movies like this. Keep up the good work! ^^
It's always pleasing to remember how the Wehrmacht was outclassed in Tank designs by the Soviets, and how ill informed, overconfident and inadequately prepared the OKH was for the task of conquering the Soveiet Union.
Thats what happens when you overestimate your own equipment and talk like no army on earth is capable of destroying you. Never underestimate your enemy, everyone who did ended up 6 feet under themselves.
I mean, while the Kv 2 could do its job can we really use it as an example for this? It ha many isuses, to be honest i'd put it really close to the ferdinand/elephant, the only difference is that soviets knew when to drop a bad designe, unlike the nazis.
@@muffy469 if it wasn't for winter they would have won
@@coty.ott0359 False, In 43 the luftwaffe was brought to their knees, the Red Army took over air superiority. And in 43 germany didn't have enough oil to supply all their vehicles, ground or air. They had to salvage every drop from tank wrecks. By early 45 they didn't have a single drop left. Tanks were pushed by hand into dug out positions to be used as pillboxes. Germany lost the war the day army group south failed to seize the Caucasus oil fields and Hitler knew it.
@@alexandru-augustincosa9889if left unchecj, theyll ended up wasting more resources building p ratte, maus and E tank series
Amazing video! A tiny piece of war. A story worth telling!
Rest in Peace Brave Crewmembers of KV-2
No that's a kV 1
@@EulHollandais No, it's a Kv-2 4:36
@@Koxmeister oh yes you're right, sorry...
@@EulHollandais No problem, sir. :)
You died like a hero Kv2, motherland stays happy about you.
Now do the one with Franz Staudegger where single Tiger with infantry support held off ~50 T-34 tanks
No
I hope you know that he only knocked out like 20 of the 50 t-34
@@Patrix299 Doesn't matter man he still fought against them.
The tank was a KV1 not a KV2. Read the conmemorative plaque in the video and you can recognize a KV1. Is an historical mistake.
amazing work guys plz make more.. thanks a lot.
Imagine being a German soldier and being told you had to fight in the Eastern Front knowing damn well of all the stories about the Night Witches, Vasili, the KV-2, Stalingrad, Leningrad and the ferocity of the Soviets (And that's just scratching the surface). All of a sudden fighting the Americans and British doesn't sound too scary.
"KV2 RUSSIAN ACURACY"
WOT BLITZ
LOL XD
He prob waited for the circle to shrink before firing.
@@seomahazuri8999 in wotb never wait for the circle to turn small fire anywhere near a enemy and it will be a guaranteed hit
No USSR
you need to check out "Lego WW2 - Battle of Raseiniai - Stopmotion Animation". came here from there.
It takes the cool beginning of this video, and develops it further
Thanks for watching!
@@operationbrickfilm how did you find out? 😆 It didn't let me post links back then so I could only write the title
As i watched Naruto i literally read "The Monster of Rasengan"
A very nicely done !!!!
A real story very covered very well !!!!
Congratulations to all of the crew involved in that particular project !!!!
In WWII Russia was an ally. That makes these fallen men heroes and comrades.
It’s my dream to make videos like this. Ones that are so beautiful shot, with all the smooth angles on the yanks.
This was amazing. Great job!
[English comment] In Games you have balancing... In REAL LIFE you have to fight what you encounter... And this was one hell of a encounter... Amazing historical Video :D // [a second German comment] Dieser deutsche Salutiert deinem Video :)
In actual RB game the Ger side would win that quite easily while 4 on 1.
“Hanz the shots r bounzing vhat do ve do!?”
“Shut up Gunther let me thin... Oh shit”
*EXPLODES*
Даже мурашки по коже. Достойнейшая работа! Замечательное видео! Я восхищен!
we have no mountains in Raseiniai.
They the crew of the KV2 gave their lives in the name of freedom, for their people and country, These men and women are never unknown, they are freedoms price. May they REST IN PEACE . and as we say in Australia Lest we forget.
these people defended their country. And what does it have to do with communism ?!
@@TheTankCrew if they let the fascist invade, they would all be systematically executed. Only the fittest and strongest might if been allowed to live on as forced labour workers, and in a suggestion made to Hitler as servants, which he quickly turned down.
Actually they weren't in their country. They were in the territory of Lithuania that was invaded by Soviets just less than year ago. Ironically under the secret protocols of Molotov-Ribbentrop pact that was concluded between Russians and Nazis en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pact Basically to invaders fought in the territory of third country in order to have control over it. Eventually Soviets caused more civil casualties and economical damage in the Baltics than Germans ever could.
What freedom you are talking about? They-russians were the same occupant of lithuania like germans, just 6 days diference!
@@ProPatria1919 Вот это ты здорово перевернул факты. Не удивлюсь, если скоро начнут говорить, что СССР вторгся на территорию Германии и первым развязал войну... Facepalm
The KV2 is chilling like nothing happened
Rest in Peace Hereos..
No one mess with nuke fridge tonk
This is the lesson we all have to learn - war is horror that we must never let it repeat.
But, unfortunately, thanx to the Washington its getting often from year to year...
Washington annexed some canadian territory? damn... that's bitter
Oh damn, my bad. It was Moscow that annexed some parts of the ukraine, how could i forget....
Relaxo Referendum you called annexy, yeah, right. You know something about that? Nooo. You just repiting that you heard on CNN or what ever you waching. Talk to some one who actually live in Crimea.
Besides, ukrainians provide decommunization - Crimea was a gift of communists government in 1954.
Firs Crimea declare independence and only then send request to be part of Russia.
And by the way, how about Puerto Rico in US? Should I remind you that part?
Maybe it is the Moscow who iterfere in the internal business of countries for the last 40 years? Rwanda, Sudan, Panama, Venezuela, Angola, Somalia, Philippines, Liberia, Georgia, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Haiti, Congo, Honduras, should I go on?
Maybe it is the Moscow bombed the Yugoslavia? Or Iraq? Or Libya? How many people died because governments of this countries were wanted to provide independent external policy? How long US will be pressing North Korea and Iran? How long they will be supporting terrorists by weapons and ammunitions in Syria? Oh, right, this is not terrorists, this is moderate opposiotion, they cut the heads not from right to the left, but from left to the right, this changes everything, yeah.
It is Nobel peace prize laureate Obama want to remove Assad at all cost. And thats why John Kerry call Obama to bomb Syria like Yugoslavia.
wow, you got not a single argument, good job.
Relaxo Its you who started the insults, I wish that some one notice that.
Ha! Who is moron now?) If there will be a war betwin RF and US, the tanks will be no use - we all (and you, and me, and the rest of the world) will be dead in half an our.
East of Ukraine is independent republics, dic...khm. If they were part of Russia, no fighting would there now, just like in Crimea.
Yeah, all who had opposite opinion is Kremlin-bots, this is your democracy. Looks like maidauns (its those mindless freaks who stand on maidan initially and burned unarmed police whith Molotov cocktail) infected you with stupidity virus.
Yes, Russia have a past. Only The Bolshoi Theatre have more past then entire USA. We know what war on our own land bring to the people, unlike US.
I'm realy, realy want good relationship between Russia and America, but Washington wants world domination, saying about exeptionality (what did you say about nazi?) and telling other countries what to do.
In nineties US got Russia in their pocket. Puppet government did everything they say, but Washington destroyed this idyll by relations like you got now.
You are not american puppet, you are simple western citizen like I was eastern about 14-16 years ago - curse all who look askance at my country, I were ready to nuke this "rotten west". But I got older and able to see some things in different ways. Russians are not enemies to the americans. Americans are not enemies to the russians. Together nothing is impossible. You'll realise that, you just need to get older.
You may fool some people for all the time or fool all the people for some time. But you can not fool all the people all the time. Your propaganda is like brain syphilis but how can be so many russians contaminated?
Very Good Production !! Bravo !!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
