thanks for no music. not sure why so many people feel a need to play dj
or a whole orchestra lmao
I know. It's the most annoying thing ever. Ruins the whole video for me when they do that.
@@user-hq1uh1fl2w I friggin PLAY in a symphony orchestra and I can't stand that, lol
Lack of Panzer Grenadiers was disastrous.

Yep. And with the first rendition of this chassis not having a MG for defense against infantry, it was a sitting duck.
Most interesting heavy destroyer! I have several miniatures. Not many of these left in the world, only a handful. There was only around a hundred of these built by Porsche, made from their failed tiger design. To shoot the entire tank, had to be moved in the correct direction like the Stug. Originally lacking a heavy machine gun for additional protection. Tank overhaul, a show from long ago restored one of these rare beasts. Last I had heard was in a tank museum on the US east coast. Slow and prone to break downs with lack of spare parts made this thing a nightmare to fix in the field. Zimmerit needed !!!
I saw that same vehicle when it was on loan to The Tank Museum here in the UK. They had all the Tiger family in one hall except the Sturmtiger.
@@user-xh3wr1do7k was thinking Sturm before I read it !!!
i seen all tiger family in kubinka museum even the sturm😊@@user-xh3wr1do7k
I have the privilege of getting inside one of these back in the 90s..
The Stug could traverse it's gun but it was obviously only a limited amount, I think 25 deg.
Awesome fire power at a distance but vulnerable due to it's weight, lack of speed and a fixed turret in close quarters! Cool video!
Also a lack of support vehicles....
highest kill per loss ratio of all
lmao a tank is not meant to fight in close quarters
@@JensJackson-yp8vs no doubt but lots of things happen that aren't meant to happen on the battlefield!
@@JensJackson-yp8vs You should go back in time and warn the Russians before they launch a ground assault on Grozny
Read Roman Toeppel, „Kursk 1943“, it debunked the myth of the Ferdinand/Elephant disappointment at Kursk. As a matter of fact, the Ferdinand was a success, the German troopers loved it and the missing MG was not really a problem because it rarely even encountered enemy infantry.
It went a bit different though. I think it was Zaloga in the famous "tank talk" they did 6 or 7 years back where he mentioned: it was 50 / 50 affair. Half were manned by ex Marder crews and the other half by ex Stug crews. The Stug ones did well, the ex-Marder ones though that all of a sudden they got an invincible machine and got into trouble. Hence the mixed stories of the Elephant failure vs success, it really depends at what reports you look.
Вашу хренотень и сейчас уничтожает Русский солдат!
The thing has a 10:1 kill ratio, it was about as successful as a destroyer could be.
Mechanically unsound, but deadly as hell on the Russian Steppes.

Wow more than ❤❤❤
A beast on the battlefield but lacked close quarters defensive armament for the crew and was prone to mechanical breakdown.
Wahnsinns Aufnahmen 😊
?
I thought this tanks was only in the blueprint stage and never actually made into production. This is the first seeing it in action on the battlefield.
"Sounds good to me!"
reject expensive modern tank, return to the good ol' tanks
This tank, like so many other German tanks, was very limited in its actual combat value. Just like the Tiger, the Elefant was also very susceptible to technical problems. During the first deployment of the Elefant during Operation "Zitadelle", half of the tanks failed after 4 days due to technical defects. In addition, with 1000 litres of petrol per 100 km, it was a logistical nightmare and, at just 15 km/h, a very light, virtually immobile target. When it fired, the shot had to disable the enemy, otherwise the crew was dead.
German armaments had huge problems right from the start. There were too many competing offices, too many profit-seeking individuals and Hitler, who changed entire production processes by decree as he saw fit. This led to a very inefficient multitude of different devices whose spare parts were not interchangeable. Projects were constantly being started, cancelled, changed, etc. at great expense.
Although many documentaries give the impression that the Wehrmacht was highly mechanised, this is not actually true. Until the end, the Wehrmacht relied heavily on horse-drawn vehicles for its logistics. But the Wochenschau wouldn’t show this. 😏 My grandfather was in a logistics division. They had a few half-tracks, but basically they were cowboys, herding a lot of horses.
Interesting, a lot of farm boys were put into service.
When I hit the start button. First thing I thought of was this contraption part of their blitzkrieg 😂
The Elefant was not deployed during Zitadelle. The tanks you are seeing here were not lightly armored, they had the heaviest armor right after the Jadtiger. You are confusing the elefant with the less armoured Ferdinand , which was still used verry effectively in the battle, judging by the number of soviet tanks (2,000) it knocked out.
@@Swervli You're right about the armor plating, it even withstood direct artillery fire, I got something mixed up.
But not here: Ferdinand and Elefant are not two different tanks, just different names for the same machine. Which often happened in the Wehrmacht.
So step by step. The tank was officially designated "Panzerjäger "Tiger P" for 8,8-cm Pak 43/2 (Sf.) (Sd.Kfz. 184)".
Before its delivery to the troops, the tank was given a much less "bulky" nickname for everyday use.
In a meeting with Adolf Hitler on February 6, 1943, the designation Sturmgeschütz (assault gun) on Porsche Tiger chassis with long 8.8 (Ferdinand) is documented.
However, the name was changed again at Hitler's personal request in November 1943 with the instruction that the vehicle should be called "Elefant" in future. As a result, it is listed in the inventory of the Schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilung 653 as s.Pz.Jg VI (P) 8,8 cm Pak 43/2 L/71 "Elefant" from May 1944.
The Ferdinand was a recycle vehicle. They used the already built Porsche Tiger hulls and put a casemate with the 88 Pak43 on it, probably the best anti tank gun of WW2. The Ferdinand was never meant for continued serial production. It had its issues and was certainly not a great weapon system but it did its job, first in Russia and later in Italy. And it did that job better than many other armoured vehicles if you look at its kill ratio.
i love german tanks in games

@@slowery43 okay boomer
Siiiiiiiiiick
terrifying tank
Thirteen Ferdinands were knocked out at Kursk. The first day of the battle, a flaw in the fuel lines emerged and a number spontaneously caught fire. Eighty-Three returned from the battlefield. 50 were rebuilt and renamed Elefant.
The Germans were pushing the technology hard, which was part of the problem, but the Soviets had the German order of battle. The overconfident Germans knew the Russians knew that, and proceeded anyway.
my favorite Porsche product 🥰
In the end, a waste of steel ✌️ RIP🙏
The thing has a 10:1 kill ratio, it was about as successful as a destroyer could be.
What a behemoth!
The Jagdtiger was even bigger!
@@erniepaints Very true! I have one in World of Tanks - Blitz and it's huge compared to every other tank I have in my garage. A true steel monster!
My great grandfather worked in the Krupp Factory in Essen after being wounded in Kursk. He served in SPz. Jgr. Abt 653 ( Heavy Panzerjäger Battalion). He wasn't a front line soldier but lost his trigger finger. It was smashed off by working on half track I think.
@@erniepaintsCheers for the reply. He must of had some unreal stories from the war. Glad he survived it!
@Spartan902 he had some stories I heard thru my family. When he was marching into a small village on the Russian border I believe, there was thousands of surrendered soviet troops. He gave a group of them his supper ration. When his NCO found out he was striped of his rank. His compassion meant weakness in the Feldwebel eyes.
If I have to choose a jagdpanther or this in game. I choose a jagdpanther which also has 88mm gun. :)
I always played these in Call of Duty - United Offensive :)
Awesome flak 88 canon in whole lenght.😮
88mm L/71(King Tiger), not L/56 (Tiger I).
The heavy tank
Tank destroyer
This only shows successful deployments which is why the video is 1 minute and 13 seconds long
It looked like all the footage was in Russia and that would mean this was before they were overhauled and renamed Elefant. Thus those were all Ferdinands
No machine guns for for self defence or fir supporting other vehicles being attacked by infantry
This thing had a kill ratio of 7:1 or more and they talk about missing mg 🙈
Can you imagine no secondary armament on Elephants? Russian soldiers could run up to these things at Kursk and either disable them or destroy them.
yeah but the purpose of elephant/ferdinand was staying very very far away and hitting other tanks, not going against infantry like shermans
These things are similar to Snipers of tanks - They weren't meant to fight the enemy head-on.
@@jakubvsv9305it was still a shocking oversight
@@charlesburgoyne-probyn6044not really, are you really gonna put a grenade launcher on a sniper rifle?
@@anegg9057 a lack of consideration for someone coming up to attack it was shocking
HOLY SHITBALLS! That's serious firepower.
Cannot be destroyed at mid/long distance even by the IS-2 and its poor optical system. Elefant is a Sniper with a magnificant gun when the tank was released.
But mechanical problems plus the waves of soviet tanks supported by the infantry didn't let any chance for the Elefant and its desastrous mobility.
i want one :O
The audio sounds so incredibly pure sounds better then modern footage haha
The audio is purely dubbed rubber hammers and sheets of tin being hit and with sticks and such being rattled. Rarely does WWII and before field footage have sound to hear that, it'd have to of been a lot closer with sound crews that didn't exist back then. Over the years the dubbing has improved with digitalization to make it seem quite real. Check out the YT channels on it, you'll be blown away how these noises are made and how the mind is tricked into believing it.
The 8mm film cameras used on a 1940's battle field did not record sound. When making a movie with diegetic sound on a set, a separate sound recordist is required. This is always the case with film.
Would've been better without the stock BBC sounds slapped over it too.
Qué tanques más hermosos .
Ты знаешь, сколько твоя красота убила людей? Спроси у Русских!
Hitler was obsessed with making ever larger tanks beyond the realm of practicality.
Awesome machine but not perfected and the drive line was too weak.
Thoss are ferdinands. Not elefants. Footage is from Operation Citidel
Name was changed from Ferdinand Heavy tank destroyers to the Elefant
i think we all know this...the change did not happen till early 1945. The footage in this video and sounds are from 1944 when it was still designated as ferdinand. @@jimmyposada145
Incredible panzer
Куча металлолома!
Played greatest role in the failure of German armored assault during Operation Citadel.
I said the real porsche perfect
The elephant had no machine gun so easy picking for infantry
sound doesn't belong to the footage. cameras back then only shot pictures, but no sound.
It was fun while it lasted.
Elephant turned meat eater
0:17 created a meme ig
I find it somewhat endearing that the nazis named all their tanks after animals. That’s something a small child would do. :)
The Germans still do that, Puma, Leopard, KF51 Panther. What straw are you grasping at?
били тогда ,бьем сейчас)))))
Страшно(((
Was it only used at Kursk???
Ferdinand was the one at Kursk. After the failure of the Kursk offensive, the surviving vehicles were sent back to Germany and rebuilt into Elefants. A number of them were used in Italy, one being captured by the Americans and it’s now on display in an American museum.
@@user-xh3wr1do7k It is a common misconception, elefants are not upgraded Ferdinands they did get upgraded but the whole name of the tank changed to elefant whether they got upgraded or not
The comments from the wargaming/gaijin crowd stick out like sore thumbs.
I know they were a disaster at Kursk. Were they ever a success in any battle?
No
Depends on how you see it. The cannon and armour made it a significant force to be reckoned with. But its numerous mechanical problems and the lack of effective weapons against infantry gave quite some opportunities to the enemies to destroy them. But as long as its drivetrain was working and it had ammo, anybody would run from that thing - it was quite feared among the allies.
tank destroyer
No music. But added bonus fake soundtrack
The German offense attack at Kursk, was actually delayed, on purpose, so the newly built Elephant tank could be transported there. Once combat started most of the Elephant tanks broke down due the drive train breaking down. Many were simply abandoned by their crews. They also lacked anti infantry guns on this tank, making them vulnerable to infantry. It was a total fiasco.
It has a 10:1 kill ratio. 10 armored tanks destroyed per Ferdinand lost. That is about as successful as any armored vehicle could be.
was it sporting an 88?
Google doesn't work for you?
@@slowery43 you have no clue what an 88 is
"No Music, Pure Sound" fake sound, over the top and unrealistic so why bother?
the russians nightmare ! the elefant !

Also known as a Ferdinand
nope ferdinand and elefant were two complete different tanks the elefant had waaaaaaayyyy more armor than the ferdinand ;)
The Ferdinand and Elefant were totally different.
The Ferdy's were Pre-Battle of Kursk, they only had the 8.8 Pak 43 as offensive/defensive armament
The Elefant was Post-Kursk, they were the "new and improved" version of the Ferdinand with: A bow ball-mounted MG 34 (Along with a port for a "Krummlauf" which was a curved barrel StG-44) , a commander's cupola for improved vision , thickened frontal armor, zimerit paste and wider tracks
elephant name change june 44...
all remaining 48 Ferdinand sent back and upgraded dec43.... all Ferdinand are renamed Elephant by order of high command and not due to upgrades
not new all original from 90 produced and 1 by alket.... so 91.... only 48 sent back from eastern front.... also known as a stug and a panzerjager....
it has the highest kill per loss ratio ...... say it's a failure.... haha

In the long open rolling fields of Ukraine at the time of this being filmed, these weapons where superb at ranges outside any threat to them. This was useless when the 100's of T-42/85 or the
SU family of 76/85/100/122/155 variant was charging at you. From Russia were ugly was in the making from welds some unfinished to downright incomplete surgery of a butcher!
Even German welds still had to be done right as It was a art, that mattered not when you needed more than the other guy no matter the cost. Unfinished welding joints didn't matter if your not expected to live past the first wave. Damaging or destroying the enemy was first. Tanks ugly in every point did the job is all that matters. No welding is important if your losing the war on equipment ugly.
Being beautiful looking means nothing if you're still going to lose the lot, in fighting these Russian Cannons right? These Tank Destroyers where of low profile was great idea in design, in being hard to spot. German tanks were so outnumbered you'd never have enough tanks or men to stop the Russian mentality at the time. You fight or die here right now was a motivation for many indigenous Russians, that were first to go into war. Germany was bombed by artillery for hours on end, not stopping until the tanks and troops atop came in for the kill.
Swamped in the Russian Doctrine at the time, same as today they are in some parts get close to doing in Ukraine without full evidence yet in detail. Thankfully some tanks like this only numbering 2 survived the war for study, unlike many of the rare versions and command vehicles they are all gone as scrap metal. So little of some rare German equipment don't exist at all for study is a shame in some ways. As these vehicles on all sides changed the future of a tank as we see today. The tank in five short years years took leaps forward into modern history wars with tanks.
A tank is a death box
Especially in the hands of a Russian crew!
@@johnwalkley6746nuh uh if a crew is not skilled even an Abrahams tank can be knocked out nothing ir indestructible
maybe ferdinand?
Pzh 2000
The ancestor yes.
@@H3llBaronno, the Ferdinand / Elefant wasn't an artillery tank, it has been a tank destroyer.
The predecessors would have been Hummel oder Wespe maybe.
Well that was just shite!
Elefant, another stupid panzer: 'all show, no go".
Vs T34: no show, all go!
Well maybe the Elefant was "no go" but it's cannon made sure that anything in a 2.5 km radius also was gonna be "no go"
Not when so much terrain on planet Earth is not a flat 2.5 km radius Moon like surface.
