- Tank Chats playlist • Tank Chats from The Ta... Panzer I was the first tank mass produced by Germany, as part of their drive to re-arm in the 1930's before the Second World War.
The Tank Museum's Panzer IB tank is the only known commander's model of the Panzer I.

"Hey Germany, you're not building tanks there are you?"
"No, it clearly says 'tractor' on the blueprints, look."
"Oh very good, carry on."
"They said they're also building some anti tractor guns."
"Those Germans are strange fellows"
russia made it all happen becous we could test them there
Lol😂😂
also in russia
And what about all those U Boats Mr. Hitler?
Ohhh those things, well they ain't U Boats they're My Boats
Germany : *Ships Tanks to Russia*
"Hey what are you doing?"
"We're testing out our tractors."
"Oh okay."
Because in Soviet Russia, tractors have cannon
Edit: you got to watch out for the bears
Too bad they don't sell them in kits. Panzer 1 would be a fun summer project.
I believe Tamiya do a Panzer 1 kit.
@@thetankmuseum Haha! But I won't fit in one of those!
Tamiya do. And Hobby Boss.
@@baz6128 HAHAHA! I'm talking about a real meat grinder.
Ammo has done a 1/16 kit which is nice
Video length- 19.44...
Nice
Japan and Germany: Not so nice
I took a dump longer then that
Never noticed that....well done, Tank Fellows.
@@jermasus My Emperor! It's good to see you again!
I can hardly take my eyes off the Jawa crawler filling the background!
More facts about the basic Panzer I with its rotating turret:
- Both the commander and the driver had headphones for listening to the radio receiver. But they had no microphones because there was no intercom.
- The commander turned the turret by rotating a wheel with his right hand, and elevated the two guns by rotating a wheel with his left hand.
- Both of the control wheels incorporated trigger grips. The commander could therefore fire both of the machine-guns independently.
- The link between the two triggers and the two guns were two simple push-pull cables. They had a device at the end that you screw-clamped onto the MG trigger. The MG was not modified.
- The tiny turret of the Panzer 1 had an internal roof lamp, because the machine guns might need some maintenance in situ. Power came from the hull via a small rotating link under the commander's feet.
20 minute long Tank Chat with David Willey...and it's a Friday. Sometimes life is very very good!
If only he had awesome enough facial hair to compete with David Fletcher it would be perfect!
Am I the only one that had shivers up and down the spine when I saw the insides of the tank trough the battle damage?
I mean, iI can't even imagine the mess that was inside when they captured it.
I used to have to clean out the bins for all the fish on a commercial fishing boat so I have some idea what the inside of that tank must have looked (and smelled ) like.
Scrape the nazis off the walls...
It's entirely possible though that the tank was already abandoned due to being damaged or running out of fuel (a constant occurrence for the Afrika Korps) and that a passing British tank put a couple of rounds in it just in case. (All tankers were in the habit of doing this - if it looks in the least bit threatening, put a couple of rounds in it just in case)
@@StripedbottomNo, it was knocked out whilst in action.
Perfect start to a Friday watching this on the tram on the way home.
Where are you at that has trams?
@@neilwilson5785 Nottingham
@Breezy Mods ?
Do you always go home as the day starts ?
@@neddyladdy I don't understand your comment? I commented about 5pm uk time so definitely home time.
I had no idea that Pz 1s were so dinky! They were pretty much a Bren carrier with a little turret.
@AstronomyToday In those days and with the experience of WWI in mind this was to be preferred above a muddy trench with no protective armour plating at all. Also there were no real anti-tank weapons in those early days, besides other tanks. No bazookas, Piats, RPGs or other Panzerschrecks. Let alone A-10s and attack helicopters.
@@flitsertheo it's really uninformed to say that there were no AT weapons at the time, there had been tankgewehr and similar high caliber ballistic arms since ww1, and direct fire field gun/artillery existed and was extremely effective. Tanks as a counter to other tanks wasn't really doctrine until into ww2, they were meant more for infantry support and fortified position assault.
@@flitsertheo "Also there were no real anti-tank weapons in those early days, besides other tanks."
Incorrect. No one's doctrine called for tanks to fight other tanks (well besides the Brit who thought the tanks would do everything). That was the artillery's job. Tanks were designed to penetrate a defense and then run around and shoot up the enemies rear areas and infantry. And there were plenty of AT guns. They were just small of scale because the tanks were small scale in the pre-war years. AT rifles and the 37mm AT gun was considered "heavy".
Lol
truly the most underrated panzer of the family
;)
Its underrated because it sucks Nothing Impressive about a panzer 1
@Jordan Hardesty So your Claiming that panzer 1 was a decent tank and that it wasn't replaced because of its lack of armor and fire power
@Jordan Hardesty operations with barely any resistance
@Jordan HardestyPanzer 1 and 2 sucked dude the were only succesfully used agianst countries with outdated tanks like Poland and Holland and belgium
And all were suprise attack
I find the WW1 and pre/early WW2 tanks absolutely fascinating.
Formula for spending a perfect rainy day: Hot cup of coffee, and a chat from the Tank Museum.
Sounds like a good setup!
I don't analyze my failures often...
...but when I do, I do it ruthlessly.
The only thing I'm left missing from this Tank Chat is at least a passing mention of the re-use of the chassis, namely, the Pzjg-I.
Excellent video. The Panzer I was such a developmental step up for it’s time, I don’t think people currently realize how important it really was back then.
I was so hoping the Panzer I Ausf. F was going to be mentioned in the video. It was the up-armored (30mm to 80mm frontal) and substantially wider tracked variant originally intended to be used as an infantry support vehicle for an invasion of 🇲🇹 Malta. An operation that, of course, never occurred.
Only about 35 Ausf. F’s we’re built and subsequently deployed to the Eastern Front. Ultimately used in anti-partisan operations. I don’t recall for certain but I think a percentage were refitted with a 20mm auto-cannon sans the two MGs.
They were Panzer I on steroids 💪 !
When you read about the Panzer 1 on the Norwegian wikipedia and realise that Norway`s army was so poorly equipped with anti armor weapons that they couldn`t even defeat the Panzer 1.
What did they have, pea shooters?
I think atleast one panzer 1 was defeated and maybe a neubaufahrzeug ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Norway fell mostly due to the German airforce and parachute infantry.
Norway mobilized 52,000 troops, Denmark just 14,000. Finland had similar population and was able to mobilize 300,000 during the Winter War and WWII. Complete failure of leadership to provide their people the means to defend themselves.
@@EmergencyChannel Finland actually mobilized more like 500,000 for the latter part of the war. But to be fair to Denmark and Norway, the build-up in tension between Finland and Soviet Union was much more gradual and long-drawn than between Denmark/Norway and Germany (and Britain, on the one hand). Finland had already almost fully mobilized more than a month before the Soviet attack, under the guise of extraordinary military maneuvers and other such measures, and the invasion only took place after the breakdown of negotiations that lasted about the same time. In the case of Denmark/Norway it was much more of a surprise attack, with Germany only making diplomatic advances immediately after they had already invaded, and the two Scandinavian countries hoping til the last to be able to remain neutral in the conflict and avoid mobilization so as not to invite a pre-emptive strike because of it. And, as we know, Sweden actually did succeed in a similar policy, and ended up one of the few European countries that managed to avoid the horrors of WW2 almost completely.
I'm not too familiar with the mobilization effort in Denmark, but in Norway it was almost wholly ineffective though. I think they must have looked too much at the example of Finland and too little at Poland, and not realize that a modern war is way too fast-paced to mobilize by letter anymore after an enemy has already started an invasion. Their mobilization only really succeeded in the areas that were too far away for the Germans to reach in the initial stages, and which could then be covered for mobilization by British assistance.
Such a great lesson in history ...... I hunger for more!
OMG where's the CAT & KRYTON , RIMMEEEEEER ?
I guess LISTER is driving for UBER, since he lost his job on CORNATION STREET driving for STREET CARS?
Superb tank chat as always! Thanks David!
That dammage on the plate armor could be from a 20mm auto cannon. During the invasion of Poland a Tankette with a 20mm auto cannon comanded by a Polish soldier was able to destroy and immobileze several German Panzer variants including one of them commanded by a german Prince. The Polish tank commander had quite a successful day in his little lightly armored tankette as he relentlessly blasted numerous panzers to scrap, employing his own blitzkrieg on the invading army. He even got out of his Tankette at one point and pulled the German Prince out of his flaming panzer in attempt to save the guy/take him hostage and he took a few other Wehrmact soldiers hostage as well with his pistol after he had destroyed their tanks.
At that time the very 1st tank models had ridiculously thin armor and it wasn't much for even a 20mm(used as a main gun) to punch through. 20 & 30mm cannons are really very versatile and have a variety of powerful ammunition types. Obviously the Germans learned alot after 1939 and built better and better tanks...also the Polish tank commander survived the invasion and the war. Very interesting story.
It was KOed and captured in N. Africa. Almost assuredly it was from a 2 pounder.
Best video I've watched in a while. Bits of history you never heard before. Thank you
This man always has impeccable style. Knitted tie, even.
I'm a supporter via Patreon and this is around the third time I've watched this brilliant video. It is so rich in the origins and history of German tank development.
Superb video! Tank chats with David Willey are the most enjoyable ones for me! Outstanding presentation! 😊👍🏻 the tank museum seems to have nothing but lovely people in its ranks. I hope to meet Mr. Willey in person to shake hands and thank him for the great work he and his team is doing. Visiting Tank Fest or Tiger Day is on my bucket list for some time now
A lot of people don't realize how many horses were still on the battle field even in the invasion of Russia. The Germans had some 500,000 horses pulling the heavy guns and supplies in operation barbarossa. That must have been a sight.
I love the longer, expanded look at specific tanks!
Keep them coming!
I am honored to have such an authority talking about tanks over my lunch hour today. Thank you David Willey and The Tank Museum. I'm a proud Patreon supporter.
"the panther one designed by crop" - youtube subtitles 2019
Perfect for a Friday lunch break - Thank you!
Thanks for this chat David, I never noticed the damage when I saw the tank last year
Excellent lecture as always from mister Willey, I really enjoy them.
Great historical context! Cheers for a very informative video, guys!
Great to hear that you enjoyed it Valeriu!
I've got to say - this command version is probably WAY cooler than the turreted version, which pretty much anybody even slighty interested in tanks has seen at some point (either pics, models, vintage film). I haven't had a tank chat pop up in my suggestions for some time (not sure why, since I love them) - I'm so glad this one did. I've said enough - I want to get back to the video ASAP! Thank you, Tank Museum!!
Not to outstand the Panzer I but look at that absolute unit LVT in the background
Dummy thicc
Seriously, who can pay attention to the little mini-tank when there's a Jawa sand-crawler *right there* ?
Fantastic video. It's so pleasing to listen to people who are so knowledgeable and passionate. If you could get a guide to talk about the collection like this as you went around the museum, I would pay handsomely for it.
Fantastic video, really enjoying these longer videos!
Another magistral class..not in vain the best museum of thanks of the world.
Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Thanks
Love these 'chats', thanks
Hooper: “That’s a twelve footer!”
Quint: “Thirteen. Got five tons on him.”
Thank you for such thoughtful presentation.
Excellent lecture, thank you so much !
Great video, really dispels some of what I had read years ago.
Quite good tank for its time and important step in tank development. Great video.
Great to hear you enjoyed it!
Another excellent presentation, thanks. 😃👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏
Terrific tank chat really enjoyed it.
Glad to hear it!
Another fascinating tank chat. Many thanks.👏👏👏🇬🇧👏👏👏
Outstanding Video, thank you!
Thanks Matt. Always good to here you're enjoying the content. You may wish you consider supporting us on Patreon www.patreon.com/tankmuseum Thanks again!
Brilliant history lesson !
Very interesting chat,thank you sir!
I love the correction scroll,lol. It shows that they actually review these videos before sending out
I love the history and detail that you go into that lets us really understand what was going on.
If I am correct in France DeGaulle and in America George Patton were also pushing there mititaries to work on tanks and tank tactics.
Excellent. Good information.
David Willey is just the best presenter on Tanks
Thank you for the video and the history lesson. ^^
This man has a gift. I'm all ears.
Ausfragtactik or something like that. Great concept of Mission Command and the introduction of the combat estimate and mission analysis.
Excellent
Excellent tank chat, there's been that many now I can't remember if you did the Pz2?.
Thanks!
0 Dislikes so far ... what i like to see good job Tank Museum
1 Dislike now... must be a a French Char driver.
I figure the 1 dislike is because he forgot to mention the 5th manufacturer
4 dislikes now. Who does that ...
The French.
Apparently anyone who rated the video with a dislike reckons that he or she can do a better job LOL Some people simply like to moan (in a bad way 😉)
Donated £50. Love these guys.
The German army had more horses then tanks in the entire war.
A point overlooked by many Cory.
Cory Fice You can use horses almost on any ground.
And germans were that efficient, they used horse bodies as a sniper hideout (at least as a desperate method in the end of the war). No one was expecting that.
@@thetankmuseum That's not as major a point as it sounds. The logistics arm will always outnumber the actual fighting force. If the horses were part of the combat arms (by that I mean actual cavalry) and outnumbered the tanks, that would be a major issue. However horses were widely used on the Eastern Front, with the Soviets actually having an even lower proportion of motor vehicles than the Germans. Even France had over half a million horses in its army in 1940, far more than the number of tanks (do remember that of the Western Allies, France had the most tanks of any combatant, including Germany, at the start of the war).
That the German army was highly mechanized might have been a myth, but it wasn't much worse than the largest of its adversaries before Pearl Harbor, and in some cases better off. You're propagating another myth to counter the mechanized army myth, which is just as bad if not worse.
This also ignores the fact that German motorized logistics and combat strength was heavily dedicated to panzer divisions, while the slower infantry, who wouldn't be outrunning horse-borne transport anyways, were supplied and had their field guns transported via such means.
They used horses instead of trucks, because the german high command was well aware of the fact that the available oil reserves wouldn't allow fully mechanized troops. They also missed to fully mobilize their industrial capacities for military gear, so there wouldn't have been enough trucks/halftracks available anyway. ^^
The Capula looks like a hat on that small tonk
Very interesting presentation
Thanks.
David, in the close ups are you looking at the camera ?
Excellent and informative film.
0:15, that's like an early edition of the Mammoth Tank, is it?
No coincidence that the tie looks like a tank track! 😊
This is a very intereting sample of the PZkpfw I. I have a picture of myself in front of it. :)

@@Tuning3434nice song
I love the Panzer I. It was so cute.
Also, New Tank chat video,, Score. :)
If you want to see a cute tank look up the Polish TKS tankettes ... So small you could probably fit 2 in a medium sized garage.
That and they tend to drift on assphalt and or brick roads on full throttle which is amusing to watch.
You might love the Italian L6/40, then. AKA the three-stepped pyramid of doom.
@@chungusbooperI love all tanks to be honest. But yeah that one is a funny one indeed.
@@PhenixtriI think i recall having seen one of those in a documentary once.
Its why i love tankettes in general as the TKS intoduced me to these tiny midget tanks .... Makes me wish i could own a tankette as they look like they would be alot of fun to take on a joy ride xD
This is better than going the club
Love his tie
good stuff.
Amazing to think the Allies just stood by and let this all happen. "Tolerance and apathy are the hallmarks of a dying civilisation" (Aristotle).
It's interesting to see the sloped armor on the Panzer I considering how often you erroneously hear that prior to the t-34 such a layout of steel had never been thought of before.
Hell, the FT had sloped armor.
Mk4.
Any predreadnought battle ship. Etc etc
@@sugarnads Yes. And even many castle towers and turrets. But perhaps that's one of your "ect." 😉
@@polarvortex3294 what trix the weeraboos is its called 'batter' on a castle or fort
I would like to see you divide many of your playlists into what I would call sub playlists. These would be when you have more that 2 videos on a series or type of tank, such as the Sherman, Stuart etc.
Perfekt👋
Failure can lead to innovation. Failure is temporary and so is success.
To everyone looking for a model of this tank... The Paper Army channel on UA-cam has a paper model of this and other WW2 tanks from all of the combatants in the European Theater of Operations. Also you can find other paper models by Google search of the tank you're looking for and put paper model after that. For example, if I enter M4A3 Sherman Tank Paper Model into Google Search, it will bring up a number of sites where I can download various files for building a paper model of that tank and print it out on my color inkjet/laser printer at home. The models are usually free or just a few dollars/euros and there are a whole assortment of sites dedicated to paper modeling which seems to be very popular in Eastern European countries and in Turkey. Here's a link to the paper model of this tank. m.ua-cam.com/video/1lwQIu7ONoQ/v-deo.html
13:33 "Take support with you, maybe a cow for milk..."
Friday can start now!
Very interesting to see an early war panzer.
Disgraceful tie, great vid. Thanks for an intriguing combo
Please keep in mind early tanks were intended as a shock force of call it powerful scouts. Germans were good at this. Later came more anti armor tanks.
I actually find that vehicle much more interesting than the turreted version.
Another great history lesson. By the way what is that monster behind you?
Lots of background story about German army tank development during inter-war period, highlighting the contribution of Hans Von Seeckt and debunk Guderian myth on his biography, development of Panzer I, Nice.
Also Krupp's LA S = Landwirtschaftlicher Schlepper
Glad you enjoyed it!
Anyone know if any plans or examples of that 'light tractor' still exist? Still in love with that thing from world of tanks blitz 😅 probly my best vehicle before they simplified all the vehicles.
I was in the same pub as Dave, he let out a ripping good fart in the toilet.
It looks like the Panzer would fit into the Buffalo next to it.
Watch out for Bruce Crompton trying to steal it for the Tank museum in France.
Great video! How about panzer 2 next?
One aspect of the 'blitzkrieg' style is that the Germans needed vehicles that would fill the role that Cavalry once filled. The tactics aren't new, they were used by the Mongols, Huns, Scythians, Samaritans, and even as far back as the Assyrians using Chariots.
The Americans and British understood this too, producing fast tanks that could take advantage of breakthroughs, meanwhile the French were arguing amongst themselves over how tanks should even be used, with the Cavalry and Infantry both claiming sole ownership of tanks.
What is that huge tracked vehicle with the number 3 in a red circle plus Sevenoaks written on it?
lvt 4 buffalo
The best thing about this tank is that it has the FU2. I imagine it's a large middle finger that rises out of the top when they get hit.
Good god what is the HUGE machine behind the host?!
lvt 4 buffalo
Oof, that rubber on the road wheels has seen better days.
Is this an actual paint scheme that was used on this vehicle? I'd like to learn more about the basis for these colors that the museum has used.
Amazing Knowledge i really appreciate. I also ask myself, is there much enough of it as I am willed to watch and soak it all up. Greetings from Germany, Büchel (yes, we're those pricks with the B 611 nuclear weapons). 🇩🇪
