As he says fly, a turret can be seen attempting to create it's own space program.

All the Maus would have accomplished was winning some lucky Sturmovik pilot a Hero of the Soviet Union award.
Sturmoviks weren't all that accurate, especially in urban area. I guess the Maus would have been used as movable bunker/anti-tank gun position in the Battle of Berlin, blocking the advance of a soviet armor group at best.

Understated comment
im surprised by how long they were able to keep the war going. giving all the obstacles they had to deal with
The last tank battle on the western front ended in German victory. 5
King tigers wiped out the American 3rd armored division (not to be confused with Patton's 3rd army). A few days later the 5 king tigers ran out
of fuel and had to be abandoned
Sounds about right.
Impressive. Now let’s see all the previous fighting that got them to this point.
So not really a victory then.
@@annoyingbstard9407 they completely destroyed the 3rd armored division without the loss of a single tank.
@@joshuaplotkin8826 So they won? When was the victory parade in Berlin?
Can you talk about Germany’s smaller allies like Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria etc
I second this
I third this, as a Romanian. Could also do a parallel with the Finns on this topic, and the mistakes made compared to them
Romania has a couple of tanks that could make for an interesting video. There was the TACAM series which looked similar to the Marder III and were built out of scavenged Russian and German parts as well as Romanian made components (depending on availability and model) and also the famed Mareşal tank (which the Iron Armenian mentioned in one of his videos), which was a tank destroyer with highly sloped armour and an overall design that Germany itself would use for the successful Jagdpanzer 38t tank destroyer. The Mareșal came in two versions, one built using a Russian T series chassis and mixed German, Russian and Romanian components and the second version was a fully designed Romanian version built using Romanian made components.
You forgot Slovakia and Croatia. ;-)

So I knew a guy who claimed to be a WW2 veteran. At the time I was around 13 years old, and I was willing to hear his war stories. He told me he was a tanker and fought against the Russians. At he time, I thought the US had always been at Russia’s throat, and didn’t know they were allies in WW2. So at the time, I thought he was a Tanker fighting Russia in WW2 on the Americans side.
Little did I know he drove a tiger tank and mowed down any POWs.

Your explanations about the Maus and E-Series are a bit misleading.
Both programs were ended in November 1944. Those tanks would never have been introduced even if the war continued longer. In fact the last production plan calls for a ramping up of Waffentrager and Hetzer production while the bigger resource intensive tanks would be slowly phased out. It is a common misconception though that the Germans had amazing prototypes and projects on the drawing board at the end of the war. In fact they were finished in that regard: Working on cheaper gun carriers and making minor improvements to the Panther - mainly to save material and ease production - while the soviets began pushing out the IS-3 and began work on what would become the T-54/55.
Great video though. 👍
I think the only E series tank that was going anywhere was the E-25. It had the design finished and was supposed to replace the Panzer IV (somehow) and the jagdpanzer IV. Some books and historians states that at least 3 test vehicles were built by the end of the war. Dk how that would helped if only one E series vehicle would have been introduced as it would ignore the purpose of sharing components with other vehicles.
@@alexsv1938 How would the E-25 replace the Panzer IV?
And why even bother replacing the Jagdpanzer IV?
What were they thinking?
@@animasaurus2007 it kinda makes sense, the E-25 was to be more reliable, cheaper and simpler to build and the Panzer IV was already at it's maximum upgrading capabilities. JagdPanzer IV is based on the Panzer IV and the Panzer IV was to be taken out from the production lines.

A special unit made of Latinos (As they were smaller and so fit the tunnels better.) that were armed with revolvers or shotguns who then went to investigate and clear out any tunnels VC build. Had a short life expectancy due to the nature of their combat.
Don't really know if there is really more to talk about them.
Joormaa They were good light tanks.
@@intag8655
Ok I should have put "mainly Latinos" there as not just Latinos served as tunnel rats but Latinos still made up the majority of them.
Also some did arm themselves with shotguns for that extra power as you usually had time for just one shot at the tunnels and so some thought that the more limited mobility of the shotgun was countered by the power they packed.
Really good video as usual. As for a recommendation, I think you should do France next. There isn't a lot of discussion about their tanks. I understand why, but I think it would be interesting to see what they used besides Char B1s and FTs.
*chef dies from overwork*
How much can you really talk about a white flag?
@@intag8655 yeah mostly cause thicker armor, I'd say the rest was decent tho only the somua was suited for quick maneuvers.
that said, the french designs clearly were dated in terms of communication and crew ergonomics compared to even the more humble germans.
pretty sure the engineers knew this but had to to go with the one-man turret for even their best tanks due to economical and/or human restraints (crisis, corruption, WWI losses u know). as for comm, radios were really lacking but guess they weren't alone.
plus dunno if it was widespread at the time but you couldn't see shit in those turrets. srlsy being an effective tanker in the french army was hardcore.
I’d love to see this as well. The French tanks were generally considered superior to the stuff Germany had at the time but were hampered by a bunch of other factors like incompetence and bad doctrine.

The onely time you can actualy take kill counts serious is when the offensive side is counting them. Why? Because they can actualy go around counting the Tanks they killed.

@@AndresLopez-wn8lt thats only for THEIR
casualties not enemy's
@@AndresLopez-wn8lt then mechanical problems and destroyed by crew will also be counted.
Depends. If we’re talking about German aircraft kills in WWI, it’s pretty reliable too. There had to be two sources other than the pilot and a plane wreckage to make it count
@@davidschneider9145 in ww1 the planes were only going like 200km/h maximum so you could actualy see what happened to your enemy when you shot at them. Meanwhile in WW2 flew much faster speeds, all of them had closed up cockpits, most had razorbacks ubstructing the pilots rear view and so on.
And when it comes to tank combat one of the big problems was that ww2 was a time before fume extractors so as soon as a tank shot the muzzle smoke would make seeing where the shot landed extremely hard. This was especialy a issue for german tanks which had a habbit of sticking a oversized gun in undersized turrets and therefore had to come equipped with muzzlebreaks which increased the muzzlesmoke issue. Meanwhile on tanks like M4 Sherman with the 76mm gun a muzzlebreak was optional but not nessesary (thats why on some pictures of the M4 (76) or M18 hellcat the tank/SPG has a muzzlebreak and on others it does not.

You can add to that list...
- the good old Hellcat, IMO the best naval fighter of the war.
- the Corsair, a great fighter in and of itself, but initially of questionable usefulness at its intended role of carrier operations. IMO the Hellcat was a lot more practical for that reason, even though the Corsair had better performance.
- Shiden (NOT Shinden) anyone? One of the few Japanese WWII fighters that was actually competitive against late-war Allied fighters (it was a hell lot more durable than the Zero and fast enough to keep up with a Hellcat). Fortunately there were only a few thousand of them.
- the Hawker Sea Fury, one of the fastest naval fighters of the war, fast enough that it bagged a MiG in the Korean War.
- pretty much any early jet, though the Me-262 is the only one that gets mentioned constantly, probably because it was used most often. It’s somewhat overrated but still a good fighter IMO.

One interesting exception to the short-run, individual construction approach was the Hetzer. It was built on an assembly line, and turned out to be relatively cheap to build. The former Czech factories were able to thump out Hetzers at a good rate.
I honestly dont think the Germans would be too worried about that final drive only making it 150 km. These tanks were transported where they were needed most to plug holes and transported by railcar. During their Battle of the Bulge offensive they brought in the tanks from Hungary to the Ardennes.
As for the kill claims, meh I dont know those guys were there and fought, there seems to be a lot of shame for those lying about kill claims, but propaganda news reels def lie or exagerate, but also feats do happen. If I they put a tank out of action im sure they counted it or had certain guidelines similiar to aerial kills, but there are those who exagerate and others who confirm their claims as best as possible.
You also need to keep in mind these Germans did not do a year long tour, they fought for as long as they could serve or until the war ended, so I dont think seeing someone like Wittmann, who had been an armoured soldier since before the war had started, worked his way up from armoured cars to Stugs to Tigers, and served in it from 1939 to 1944 kill a lot of enemy vehicles as unrealistic. These crazy big wars do create kill beast aces on both sides and the Germans had a lot which makes sense as they were in the war the longest of all combatants.

Problem with moving tanks by rail; rails are stationary targets.
michael debolt problem is that the rails are too damaged from allied bombings
@@bkjeong4302 yeah but they fix them and that is how Germany moved their army around and this worked well on the Eastern front. Lots of trains kept going. Even to the work and death camps. Thats how war material gets moved.

Germany had also one extra problem from the start - Fuel. At the start of Operation Barbarossa the head quartermaster gave the estimate that the fuel reserves for full scale assault will last for around 4 months. Which kinda happened as the German offense grounded to a halt. Later on Germany had more and more tanks but especially after losing the Romanian oilfields, the amount of tanks they could actually utilize on the field dropped drastically.
Thus, mass production of "simple tanks" was a no-go for Germans. They needed something that could "punch" more per a liter of gasoline used than the allies did as they at that point had practically infinite fuel supplies available.
From an old Dinotanker: well done. You are doing a good job dispelling the old lies,myths,and misconceptions about these old beasts.
Minor Axis tanks would be an interesting video - Czech, Romanian, Hungarian... You'd get to talk about that one hilarious meme tank with the soviet 122/152 (I can't recall which) on a comparatively tiny chassis.
If that's not an option, load stale baguette and talk about how horribly inept french implementation of tanks really was. :P
Potential History: The only cure for a broken transmission.
Hans Blitzkrieg and why should I listen to you? The Gen 3 German tanks aren’t bad but they did have big reliability issues, this was of course was negated by the use of trains and the fact they were defending. No hate on Panthers or Tigers as big guns means definite penetration. Also what historical documents are you referring to? French, English, Russian? I’m more likely to believe the enemy than the ones who built it for a accurate statement.

i can agree that artillery and infrantry could be able to kill a Super Heavy like the Maus quite "easily" but fighter bombers were pretty useless as far as killing tanks goes, the best bet would be a ground attacker like an IL-2
lets not forget that you probably wouldnt even see a maus if it was ever mass produced, since it would probably kill itself before it could do anything in battle
Or because the crew couldn't find a bridge strong enough to cross
German Tanker Starts Maus Engine

So the Gen 3 German tanks are what inspired the Dom, Gyan and Gelgoog of Gundam.
Kinda (though the Gyan can be exempt, it was only a prototype) though for late war Zeon, more parallels are drawn to the Luftwaffe. Late model 109's (mostly the K series) were a match or outright better than Allied planes, same with the 190D, however, they sent up untrained pilots who couldn't handle them and Zeon send out their Gelgoogs & Doms with conspricted, barely trained pilots, hence the Gelgoogs terrible loss ratio.

Master Windu: not yet
That pick of Tiger at 0:30 Is from Heroes And generals
I’m getting hoi4 flashbacks listening to the background music
Hans we got ze new transmission!!
So basically, Allies were playing with anti-aliasing off while Germany had it set to maximum.
Regarding minor changes, it could be from the the different production method the germans used. Unlike the Americans that produced tanks on an assembly line with men doing one thing for the tank as it gets made, the germans focused on a craftsmans method. This method meant that whole crew of men made the whole tank by themselves before working on the next tank after they were done. Add to that that multiple companies were making tanks too. What you get is tanks produced almost unique to each team, and unique to each factory.
now regarding the negative view on minor changes that some honestly aren't that bad. Things like adding storage bins don't really slow the production while moving the vents don't change much from drilling a hole somewhere else on the turret.
And then you replace the ventilator, and find out it is the model that fits the hole on the old place...
Salesman: Hey, you guys think they'll catch on to those faulty transmissions we sold them?
Porsche & Demlier Benz: Nah.
easy. the kill count for example being 300. just remove 275 and you get a more accurate one
Oh baby I’ve been waiting for this.
Also
Hard to use tanks when you have one eye on the aiming reticule
And one eye on the fuel gage
0:38 @PotentialHistory blessed be you that somehow ended up including one old Argentinian meme, "El tano Pasman" (or Crazy old guy goes ballistic watching football as i guess it's known overseas) in one of your videos.
And also the video is great both in humour and info as always. Cheers from Argentina!!!
Imagine designing and building a highly expensive and time consuming vehicle to just *ABANDON IT*
What a breath of fresh air. A tank video that isn't full of bias and looks at things with a level head
Yes, that's why Military history visualized is great
Tiger still the sexiest tank of them all! Change my mind
The Hellcat exists
Panther for me
Pls make something about the Ta-183,ME P-1101 and the German tech influence after WW2 on the allies
Didn't the allies already have the superior meteor jet? They wouldn't have needed the German ones and most of the later aircraft her engines on the gloster meteor's engine

The Meteor had more reliable engines, but the ME-262 had a better airframe design, so it was still studied extensively. I wouldn’t call either superior to the other.
Edit: just realized that you may be thinking of postwar Meteor models. The models used in WWII were a lot worse than the postwar versions.
Can you do a video on fictional tanks and how good/bad they are? Baneblade and Leman Russ from WH40k, Armageddon from C&C Generals, Tsunami from RA3, etc?
Did someone say BANEEEEEEEEEBLADDDDEEEEEEEEE!
Just remember they may be thin but they have sci fi tank armor
Dont forget titans xd
Scorpon from cnc generals
Most of them would have the same problem as the Maus.
Even in Tigers in the Mud (Ottos biography as well as other things) he outright states he doesnt know how many confirmed he actually has, which is backed up by his crew and team mates.
A big issue that actually Otto himself quotes is when he was on the western front just before the war ended, in one battle with a jagdtiger somehow word had gotten around he had gotten eighty kills.
Eighty Kills with a jagdtiger in one battle. Otto got a few then ran out of ammo and made his second movement with the tank to rearm and is told hes been given a commendation for eighty kills with this first battle.
Yeah.
HOI4 Germany: We have superior armour, but no fuel.
Me, Japan after conquering USSR and about to invade Hitler: Fear my bicycle samurai!
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
und das heißt: Erika.
Heiß von hunderttausend kleinen Bienelein
wird umschwärmt Erika
denn ihr Herz ist voller Süßigkeit,
zarter Duft entströmt dem Blütenkleid.
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
und das heißt: Erika.
In der Heimat wohnt ein kleines Mägdelein
und das heißt: Erika.
Dieses Mädel ist mein treues Schätzelein
und mein Glück, Erika.
Wenn das Heidekraut rot-lila blüht,
singe ich zum Gruß ihr dieses Lied.
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
und das heißt: Erika.
In meinem Kämmerlein blüht auch ein Blümelein
und das heißt: Erika.
Schon beim Morgengrauen sowie beim Dämmerschein
schaut's mich an, Erika.
Und dann ist es mir, als spräch' es laut:
"Denkst du auch an deine kleine Braut?"
In der Heimat weint um dich ein Mägdelein
und das heißt: Erika.
It is important to remember that WWII was, more than anything, still an infantryman's war. Tanks are cool, but the war was neither won nor lost because of them.
But the Germans took France in the first 1/4 because of them
@@willimeister2553 the loss of France is probably the only example of tanks being used decisively by the Germans
Tread Knightly Yes that is also true, especially with the reliability issues that came about the later Panzer variants.
Well this is silly, the reason trench warfare died after the Great War was because of the improvements to mechanized warfare, tanks that went above 5mph mostly were responsible for this
Besides artillery is still the king of warfare
@@looinrims I think you're in the wrong thread buddy
Germany could of won ww2 if they did not spend so much metal on The Big tanks..and instead built the Bob Semple Tank.
@teslagod2003 its called a joke
France and Britian: what ya got there?
Germany: a tractor
WHAT Type shut we built
Germany:yes
