    You know they’re good just from Beau wandering with a grin on his face! What a pool of skills and from Michaels comments about cast in Poland supporting more local industries too. Their museum will be well worth a trip when they get it going.

    Thank you guys for restoring and saving history for all future generations! It's not about war and who's won what - it's about engineering at its finest for the periods that sadly was used for bad things. Saving history is about learning from the past, and if you're at the same time a bit of a tank aficionado like me and most of you here, then you're in for a treat watching our Aussie and Polish friends here!
    I only wish these videos were a couple hours each walking through the treasures at Panzerfarm, but every minute of it is awesome and I thank you for making the trip and the videos!

    When they said they might get their Tiger running one day, I thought they meant decades away. This is so cool. Imagine if we see it headlining Ausarmourfest in a few years.

    I will say it again, I just love Workshop Wednesday. Kurt & Beau, you both must have been drooling and smiling like children. I hope you took some shirts & caps for the Panzer Farm team. If it was me, I would be scoping one of their jackets. Great episode, Kurt your Polish is also incredible. Cheers

    • @pilsplease7561
      @pilsplease7561 10 місяців тому +2

      The plus side is modern metalcasting and machining is far better so they will last way longer than factory stuff. Given the shortage of alloys and metals the germans faced during the war it is impressive some of the stuff they got built

    About 85 years ago, my ancestors unrightfully entered Poland and shamefully brought death and destruction, nowadays these guys from Panzerfarm as well as AusArmour restorate this technical stuff with absolute perfection.
    I hate the purpose, this machinery was made for, but I really enjoy and love the technical thing itsself.
    Thank you Panzerfarm and AusArmour for another wonderful vid.

    • @ThomasMulhall

      Your ancestors were rightfully saving the lives of ethnic Germans who were being persecuted by the Bolsheiviks. You have been lied to by the victors, who write history. Be proud of your country and people. Even the US General Patton said; "We fought the wrong enemy."
      Germany fought with Christian honour!

      When I did my apprenticeship back in 1970, our training staff had an Ex RAF W/O Engineer who had been out in the Libyan Desert. He would tell us tales of all the Aero engine parts he and his unit used to MAKE when supplies had not come through, Marek at 15:16 is the spitting image of him, and I could see that same look in his eyes like there is NOTHING beyond his skill ! A bit like your young Beau. I would PAY to watch Marek making stuff, as I bet he would be as hypnotic as your tea in their artistry. Our Mr Brewster would ALWAYS just have turning formulae in his HEAD as well as an almost unlimited memory of all sorts of heating temperatures for different finishes etc ...ALL before CAD and calculators, only with SlideRules. I'm so grateful YOU guys are keeping those skills ALIVE

  • @danielstickney2400

  • @winstonsmith478
    @winstonsmith478 Рік тому +4

    It's amazing to see the amount of metal, special alloys, castings, and precise machining that went into things that were eventually going to be destroyed or break down and be abandoned, sometimes not long after they were made. That really stands out when looking at power plants.

    Those maybach engines were working so hard to push a tank that was usually 10-15 ton heavier than what they were spec’d for. That is so thin between the cylinders, no wonder they self ventilated so easy, aside from inexperienced drivers. Thanks for sharing!

    • @jeffreytan2948
      @jeffreytan2948 Рік тому +4

      Yeah, I'm surprised that they tried to make those V12 engines so small. I would suppose the newer tanks like the King Tiger and Panther would have bigger engine bays that it would not have been necessary.

    Yeah, they have definitely scored full marks on the wow factor. I find it amazing that 80 years after the war there is still German equipment to be found. It isn't the thousand year Reich that Hitler promised but a much better one that serves as a reminder of those dark times that hopefully won't be repeated in the future. We owe a debt of gratitude to the Polish people for many reasons, this being yet another.
    I wish them loads of success going forward with this great project. Their craftsmanship is inspiring.

And I dare to dream it, even the Jagdpanther, which is such an amazing vehicle. To see them running each year would be truly amazing!
