One thing to consider is that in another hundred years, these videos might be the most complete records we have of how these vehicles went together. Documenting the process is great fun for us to watch, but there is also a significant historical benefit. I am sure anyone else restoring a STUG III or any one of the many other vehicles AUSARMOUR have done will also appreciate this visual tutorial.
Each Restoration should have a complete documentation record. Photographs, sketches, video, notes, reports, invoices, colour swatches, time sheets etc. The more documentation the better.
Museums are about display but also about the history of artifacts. I have a buddy that is the curator of a railroad museum. The restore the rolling stock and had just finished a restoration of a dinning car. It was on display during the fair and any number of visitors passed through the car. An older black gentleman stopped to ask a question. "Is this coach 567?" He was assured that it was. The man went on to explain the he was a steward on that very dinner. He told them where the silverware was kept and how he had a spare jacket in case of a spill. My buddy asked if he would come back and do a walk through to record a history. It was priceless.
Here in the northern parts of the US we park our STUGS for the winter. Driving them in the snow and slush, not to mention the salt on the roads to melt the ice, leads to rusty tracks. My SCHWIMMWAGEN is parked, too.
Crew: "There, we've blown it up so no one can ever use it again. No one could possibly repair this pile of twisted junk!" Australians 80 years later: "She's a beaut! Bang off the rust, apply a little heat, she'll be right!"
Hi guys. I'm an german mechanic. It is amazing unscrew after 80 years. Take 5 year old Volkswagen ,you cant unscrew many bolts. That was engineering. Greats from germany ❤
You’re right to acknowledge the people who were the last to touch those components when they were first assembled almost 80years ago. It certainly is pause for thought. Another thoroughly absorbing episode.
Yep, I've always wondered what the museum's position was, and whether they thought about what these vehicles mean. They might be "cool war vehicles", but the history behind them needs to be acknowledged. It's something I grapple with as a military geek.
@@murmaider2Thanks for your well thought out comment, I'm sure those people who risked their lives sabotaging components on tanks, aircraft etc. had known that you especially disapproved of modern day Europe they would not have bothered. Congratulations on graduating at the top of the class for twats.
Wednesday is like Sunday to me 😊 As a person who worked for decades for the German car industry as a mechanical engineer, I noticed how the rubber on that road wheel was still in good shape after 80 years. As it was marked VORWERK, I checked it on the internet. This was most likely made in the city of Fulda at the factory famous for making Fulda tires after 1945. It was sold to Goodyear, but still sold tires using the old name. After 125 years of operations, that factory will be closing down next year 😒 VORWERK is a German family name, and the name of the original owner. I once worked together with a German engineer from Fulda, who had a license to drive ALL German tanks. Probably a dream job for Beau and Kurt😊 During the cold war and around 1980, his job as a soldier was to drive all armoured vehicles away and hide them in forests around Fulda. This was done to prevent damage in case of strikes from the Soviets against locations where the tanks were stored. The so-called "Fulda Gap" was the location where the US Army considered an attack by the Soviets as very likely.
Glad you mentioned the forced labour. My father in law was from the Ukraine and he was taken prisoner by the Nazis soon after they invaded Poland. He spent the duration of the war underground working on an assembly plant of some sort, we think for aircraft but he never spoke about it much. He spent about 5 years as a displaced person in Europe after the war before making his way to Australia. He was impacted mentally for the rest of his life. He never recovered. A young life destroyed.
And repeated for millions of people around the world. Its amazing how much destruction only a handful of evil men can cause, and how it keeps repeating, even today...
Thank you for his sad story. May he rest in peace and be remembered as he deserves. It’s our, my obligation to make sure this never happens again. Greetings from Berlin, Germany!
The refurbishment of the shock absorber is one of the most incredible things I've seen. It would have been last apart when it was assembled and put on the tank. Now its good for another 80 years at least.
While stationed in W.Germany in the 70's and 80's I had a good friend that went all over Germany to antique shows. Of all the German WW2 uniforms he collected, he was most proud of the rare Assault Gunners uniforms of these Sturmgeschutz crews.
It is a solemn thing to think of the horrors the original builders of these machines went through, but as long as we acknowledge and honor that history, I like to think that restoring them serves as a reminder of that time and helps us prevent it from happening again, rather than being any glorification of that dark time. These machines are merely tools, initially built for death and destruction, but now rebuilt to remind and educate.
@@ekspatriat 20% Forced labor is a pretty good chunk, enough to deserve to be reminded of. And unlike the Allied workers, German Workers did it for the country who started the whole mess whether they were misguided, or blindly loyal.
Exactly 80% did it for their country and were probably proud to do it. Kurts comment made it sound as though all workers were forced. 'Blindly loyal' also applies to the allies.@@RandomThingPosted
I will never again just glue a wheel to a model tank... now I can see in my mind what is underneath the cover... the washers, the bearings, the spacers... this is so great to watch.
Love the piano, strings, and drums music; but hate that it means the end of an episode. The craftsmanship, ingenuity, and dedication of your artisans is impressive and inspiring. Keep up the great work.
it is always mindblowing how complicated those seemingly simple vehicles were look at the M4 Sherman, the suspension is basically a coil - but look at those dampeners insane piece of engineering
Beau's skills are really impressive. He comes across as an incredibly capable person. Nothing beats him. He always makes a plan. I really enjoy watching him work. Inspiring. Richard Edkins. South Africa. I think I need to visit my daughter in Gold Coast in August one year and make the long trek up to your Festival. I would love to do that!!
No matter its history , or how it was built, the engineering to make it all work , is fantastic. And for the team to rebuild these is a credit to them and that of the training they have received of their given trade.
NO, it is of paramount importance to remember the tyranny and human suffering connected with these vehicles. YES, they should be restored and preserved, but to forget their history and reasons for being created, is a huge mistake.
You talented SOBs. I am absolutely fascinated by the work that you do. The historical preservation work is so important. I grew up with an entire museum of armor and artillery literally across the street from my home. Every WW1 and WW2 piece was there. The Army Ordnance Museum at Aberdeen was great but lacked the funding and manpower to actually restore anything. Made for a great playground for someone like me. I am thankful AusAmour restores some vehicles to running condition. Complete respect for you guys.
Watching you work on these old parts and restoring them to working functionality is a credit to you all. Most today would not be able to do this kind of work today. I look forward to this every week just to see the lost mechanical arts.
Thank you for the reminder about the manufacturing conditions - when they were not what I picture for Boeing or Kaiser. And the bullet or shrapnel scar that reminds us about the purpose and use of these machines. The elegance of the designs and engineering and your dedication to restoration and preservation make it easy to forget those aspects of the vehicle.
As much as I, like so many others, love this stuff, I'm glad you remember where they came from, and what they represented. It's a detail and a truth we tend to leave out.
I did appreciate how you guys haven't repaired the battle damage on the vehicles... its a solid reminder of what these things are and that someone was desperately trying to stop that vehicle back in the day.
You blokes are truly amazing. I really like the new technique in the filming, but don't forget to keep the team front and centre. The unique experience of the Aussie engineer viewpoint is a huge part of your appeal and success. Keep it up, cobbers. From an English fan.
You guys helped fix my 'mere' 30 year old washing machine. The aluminium pulley wouldn't come off the steel motor shaft....ah heat! That worked 😊. If i had the time and money, id love to come and volunteer to help restore these amazing vehicles
Wonderful work this week men. I notice that every person on the restoration team is the kind of men that never give up on a problem, they combine ideas and go with the best option.
4:14.....It almost looks like you have a mallet with it's own Zerk fitting. There must be a story there. Another great video, and as someone who has given you a hard time in the past, I have to say, you do a great job. As does everyone else at Aus Armor. Gets my Wednesday off to a great start.
So therapeutic and relaxing watching your craftsmen at work. Blows me away how much goes into carefully restoring every component. Oz Armour is the best.
Thanks Kurt, for the Wehrmacht eagle stamp on the hub picture. I could visualize a man in grey rags, half starved, holding a stamp punch and marking the hub with a hammer blow. And losing a bit of his self and hope with each hammer blow.
I’m always getting excited when I see there’s another StuG episode on workshop Wednesday. Hope you guys can make some serious headway now the new parts are in!
The sheer number of component parts and the engineering involved never cease to amaze me. Of course, those facts were a double-edged sword as it made a vehicle like this that much harder to produce. However, we get to admire the manufacturing and engineering skill decades later. Amazing to watch and kudos to Beau for being able to decipher these complicated assemblies!
I can't say enough how relaxing and enjoyable these Workshop Wednesday videos are. The craftsmanship and respect for history that is on display never ceases to amaze. Another aspect of these videos that I find myself really enjoying is the background music. I could listen to that theme all day long. Where does that piece of music come from?
Thank you, Kurt, for the reminder of how these vehicles were built. The misery endured by slave labor during their construction is embedded in the memory of the vehicle.
Although the circumstances and horrific stories of vile forced labour, this tank, and many others that survive today is a tribute to those who gave their lives to build them. German precision is a phrase that sums up the level of engineering for the era. Thank you for sharing this incredible restoration
I am always amazed, and thankful, to see you guys this work! There is no stopping you doing your magic. Thank you so much for preserving history! Greetings from Germany!
Beau is one hell of a awesome mechanic I noticed how the factory had crossed threaded part of the shock and Beou fought that Piece off , Fine threads especially that diameter are a Bugger at best ,well done mates looking forewarn to next Wednesdays video
I had nearly given up the Stug. Have followed your restoration from scratch but it's been a long time since your last video regarding the Stug. I guess it's hard to find parts lying around these days😄 Boo has it. A sharp eye and a gentle hand when needed. Take good care of that guy. Just to point it out....I am not into WW2 restoration projects of different kind at all, but I like watching your videos. Thumbs up immediately and greetings from top of the world🇳🇴
Wow nice work! As much as the design is exquisitely intricate and its production a very dark part of history, I could not escape the thought "damn that's so over-engineered".
Another great video! Love that you show the disassembly and reassembly with explanations! I restore antique vehicles and you guys are inspiring! Thx again

That's fair, but it was still supporting a horrible regime.
What a beautiful reassembly of that old shock absorber , highlight of my week.
Fascinating! Incredible patience and the ultimate "can do" attitude.

As I was watching, totally entranced (as usual) the lovely classical composition came on and I went "NOOOO!!! The video is almost over!!!" 😀
I'm constantly blown away by the engineering design on these vehicles.
Thats the BEST episode in a long time! LOVE IT!!!

Well...this humbles me. I thought i knew a thing or two about restoring stuff...but you guys take it to a new level! Very nice job there!
Another great video. Thanks for the hail back to the history of who actually did most of work to produce them.
Love the details... I'm recreating in 3D CAD as accurately as I possibly can so these videos are a great reference.
Well since it's a pleasure for them to do that I reckon they'll get it done before it's started
