I have had dreams of this very event and I recall this is what brought me to your channel in the first place. A truly heroic and futile story of young men placed in the most impossible of circumstances and still managing to survive
So sad this piece of history was. Feel deeply sorry for all the young men on both sides that had sacrificed.
That's an awesome story and would make one hell of a movie.
The young tankers reminded me of when I was 15 1/2 years old and recently received my Drivers Learning Permit.
A close personal friend of mine SS- Oberjunker Willi Fey ( Officer Candidate) was awarded the Knights Cross and the Panzerkampfabzeichen mit "25" Einsatzzahl for his actions in Berlin. He told me over Weinßhoppen one night how he was moving Reichkanzlei personnel and he was hit by a " Ratsch-bum'....seeing the shredded female bodies on his Tiger II...he also saw Martin Bormann on his last day alive.
Did he see the Easter bunny as well?
Nein aber bestimmt den führer@@gswombat
WHO AWARDS HIM THE MEDAL,A GHOST?
My dad fought in WWII. I was in the Army a decade and a half. Programs like this show me the shit he was in. Anyway thanks for the education. Paul out.😊
Every war is 'shit'.
Thank you War Academy for the upload and all of the great content!

I encourage everybody to travel to and visit Berlin. This city is like an open-air WWII museum and has many scars from the Battle of Berlin. I saw graves of German soldiers who were killed on the last day of the battle, and people still bring flowers to them.
The Tiger 2 which was disabled between the Humboldthain Flakbunker and the Hochstrasse was being used to bolster the defences there - it was escaping to the north when it was conscripted by superior officers.
It drove over a mine when being positioned and the damage was not repairable in the time that they had left.
I have spoken with Berliners who were there at the time, and was told about the spot where it stood, which I have visited many times.
Your information is a dream you must of had..the 2 tigers defending the reichstag..one destroyed 100 t34s..the other over 30..one ran over a german mine and it's track was disabled.then abandoned..all tigers gave a good account of themselves considered what they faced
Teenager’s fantasy
Those scores are complete nonsense. Do the maths and you will find that a score of 100 is simply impossible in the time available.
The tigers were attached to the division fighting at the seelow heights..where the germans had turkey shoot..destroying 1000s of tanks.however this defense could only be kept up for 3days..the remaining tig2 s retreated to berlin..check your history. 2 famous tank commanders
Mark felton has a you tube video on this tank action.
He didn’t say that though, he said the last 3 months.
Good video excellent channel I've learned a lot from these videos

a mistake at 1.04 THE GENERAL IN PICTURE IS NOT GUSTAV KRUKENBERG BUT WALTER KRUGER BROTHER OF FRIEDERICH WILHELM KRUGER HSSPF OF GENERAL GOVERNMENT
Tiger 100 (actually 101) with Diers at Potsdammer Platz was commanded by Unterscharfurer Karl-Heinz Turk - not “Korner”. He stacked up dozens of Soviet tanks before he and his crew had to finally abandon 101 At Potsdammer Platz the evening of May 1 (the tank shown at 4:15)
I always wondered EXACTLY how the bunker staff managed to escape Berlin. Having a Tiger II escort certainly helps! Where did u get the info on the escape route, if I may ask? I had read some articles that escaping bunker staff traveled through the underground U-bahn tunnels and then rowed on the river to an island and from there they were able to get to American lines.
It was all lost as soon as the Russians broke through the Seelow heights there was nothing the Germans could've done to prevent Berlin being captured
Yea in no world the germans would hold the sealow heights they defended it excellently surprisingly but overrun by a force 5x there size the whole vistula oder offensive was a military disaster for the germans facing a force over 5x there size watching army group A getting absolutely annihilated
5:27 i have seen this moment remade in many model scale dioramas , i didint know that it was from Berlin!!
This is not in Berlin. This is Tiger 2 of the 503rd SS Heavy Tank Battalion in Gdańsk (Danzig), on Długie Ogrody Street.
Good history Channel
very interesting!

best ww2 channel
Love this video bro! I hope i am not that too late.. But can you also make a video like “Where are the Germans Top Aces at the dying months of war”
This would make an awesome movie, unfortunately only bias allied war movies are produced.
"We call ourselves the 6th Panzer Army because we've only got 6 panzers left." -Sepp Dietrich
Great video, but I have to ask, why is the AI voiceover in English, but the maps shown are still in Portuguese? Shouldn’t they both match?
You should make a comprehensive documentary about “deep battle” doctrine.
1:04 This is Walter Krüger.....
Pic at 1:03 is Walther Kruger.
Same thing I thought, thank you HOI IV.
Tank kill claims must be taken with a large pinch of salt. Unlike pilots, tankers did not keep log books and were not formally debriefed after every combat mission. Nor, it appears, did they tend to keep score themselves at the time, nor could they accurately anyway. The obsession with numbers of kills sems to be a post war phenomenon transferred over from air force ace research. The German "Military History Visualized" UA-cam channel has two very good articles. "German Tank Kills: Lying with Statistics?" says that from July 1943 from Germans themselves halved claims to get a better idea of real Soviet losses and that when they checked claims with wrecks in a counter attack later that year they found that the overkill rate was nearly 60%. Furthermore, the accuracy of claims deteriorated towards the end of the war. The same series has an interview with an author who had extensively interviewed numerous tankers in which he says that they tended not to keep scores and that this is largely a retrospective, post-war obsession.
A film két Királytigrist mutat; az egyik toronyszáma 233, a másiké 1-essel kezdődik a film vége felé. De a 233-as - a fotón is - Budapesten van, nem Berlinben.
As a German who has been interested in history his whole life I would say that whole story is an exaggeration. I lived many years in Berlin. Nobody in Berlin remembers 6 Tiger 2 as a symbol for German resistance.
Technically the final 3 tiger were fighting during the spandau breakout and the bridge.
Another suggestion 4 u, read the audio part yourself. The AI that's narrating sounds like a cyborg
I’m pretty sure he doesn’t speak English so that’s why he uses the AI voice
That’s Walter Kruger
The USSR would have collapsed without the Lend-Lease Act and help from Britain (intelligence).
Loss of food would have sealed the fate of the soviets (unless helped by foreign powers fighting for communism)
The soviets got enough food from the USA to feed its soldiers for the rest of the war,
12 million boots , 60 percent aluminum and steel, a lot of tin , 90 percent of railway equipment ( the soviets would never have been able to conduct offensives so fast and transfer their main armies to critical points , 300000 trucks were given , 65 percent of aviation fuel and much more apart from 15 percent tanks ,aircrafts
Soviet sympathizers say "only 15 per cent was given to USSR"
BS 😁 Major Lend Lease started flowing only in 1943, when Stalin indirectly threatened separate peace with Germany. In 1941, when it was most needed, it was nowhere to be found. Some did arrive in 1942, but after disaster with PQ-17, it almost stopped.
@@aleksazunjic9672
According to the Russian historian Boris Vadimovich Sokolov, Lend-Lease had a crucial role in winning the war:
On the whole the following conclusion can be drawn: that without these Western shipments under Lend-Lease the Soviet Union not only would not have been able to win the War, it would not have been able even to oppose the German invaders, since it could not itself produce sufficient quantities of arms and military equipment or adequate supplies of fuel and ammunition. The Soviet authorities were well aware of this dependency on Lend-Lease. Thus, Stalin told Harry Hopkins [FDR's emissary to Moscow in July 1941] that the U.S.S.R. could not match Germany's might as an occupier of Europe and its resources.
Typical response from some commi ruski denying the effects of lend lease
True.
@@karllipbaum1847 Typical response of Westoid not knowing history 😝
Are you kidding? They didn't sell themseives.
The allies and the soviets executed almost all SS members when captured. There was no reason to surrender. Especially if they were fighting for land and blood at that point, not some ideology.
nice chanel

This video is incredibly light in content, endlessly repetitive, inane robot-commentary ....a complete waste of time. Why people generate this sort of stuff I do not know.
Couldn't you even try to pronounce any of the German names correctly?
The French SS was the Charlemagne division . Look at the Russian soldiers in the video . They look Oriental don’t they . By then Germany a lot of the White Russians
waa-fin SS? never heard of it. waffen SS
Bad though they were, looking at the world today, it sometimes seems to me that the U.S. SHOULDN'T have joined the Allies in WWII.
🪖✊🏻🇷🇺🫡
The title of this video is strictly misleading, Germans never had a tank called Koeigstiger.
Are you mentally ill?
More text to speech garbage,
What did I think of the last battle of the Tiger tanks in Berlin.? I think it is laughable. Absolutely pathetic . To sell this ridiculous story about two panzers holding off the massive Soviet onslaught which included thousands of tanks and more than a million men. You should be ashamed of yourself
You are a real "expert" on the subject. Do you really think that all of Berlin was defended by 2 tanks? Firstly, not two but a dozen or so Tigers took part in the defense of this city and its outskirts, and secondly, there were several hundred other German armored vehicles (e.g. from the Muncheberg Panzer Division and the 11th SS Nordland Division) that took part in these battles. And one more piece of information for you; In the Berlin operation in the second half of April 1945, the Soviets lost about 2,000 tanks and self-propelled guns.
@@ukasz-zm9qc It doesn’t matter how much the Soviets lost. At the end of the day, they defeated Germany and brought it to its knees unlike the Nazis who failed to capture any of the major Soviet cities. The only thing the Germans were good at was committing atrocities but then again Germans are past experts at the “art” of genocide. They committed the first act of genocide of the 20th century in the world in Africa in what’s now Namibia. They murdered 70,000 victims of the Herero and Nama people between 1904 and 1908. This figure constituted 80% of the Herero population. Absolutely scandalous.
In reality, Tigers were practically useless in urban combat. They did not destroy any Soviet tanks because Soviets pushed onwards with infantry, with tanks and self-propelled guns staying few hundreds meters behind to give support. Those Soviet tanks that were destroyed, were mostly victims of German infantry hiding in sewers, cellars, ruins ... Anyway, last German Tiger that was trying to escape Berlin was destroyed on a bridge, and crew burned inside. Those who claim they were fighting till the end, and then escaped, were ... embellishing the truth a little 😁 Of course, this had certain audience in the West, who liked to read how Germans were destroying "Russian horde" right until the end.
Typical response from a delusional socialist commi
USSR was a child rapist army. No honor amongst the Russians who only managed to stay in the war because of capitalist powers lend lease.
In reality, the evidence proves this video is correct, and your claims are false.
@@nzmonsterman In reality, video is a BS narrative for gullible Western public : oh we destroyed gazilion Soviet orcs, but then necromancers raised them again so we lost the war 🤣
He is a Commie troll, he is soo buthurt that the Tigers were smashing T-34s by the dozens. In Kursk one SS captain destroyed some 40 plus T-34s with his Tiger. KingTiger destroyed 50 T34s at least during the escape. Dont listen to Stalin spawns they are forgotten, trolls and worth much less than a Chinese or Indian worker.
