    Мне нравится, как немцы относятся к технике. Не важно какой, будь то танк французский, трактор советский , грузовик времён Второй мировой, комбайн финский или велосипед времён кайзера. У них всё просто чинно, аккуратно, чистенько и в первозданном виде. Уважуха им за бережное отношение к технике прошлого.

    A lot of great stuff. I'm glad you also included the utility vehicles like all the SdKfz -6 -8- and -10's! And a Combat Engineer Hanomag! As someone who rode to Iraq as a Combat Engineer myself it is nice to see some recognition for type. I wish I had some of these vehicles but I admit I'd be afraid to drive them. I'm happy with a modern replica: I have a 2005 Ural Gear-Up that looks sorta R-71-ish. Thanks for the great footage without commentary or music!

Our tracks are good for central and western Europe. And have you seen these new t-34 with 85mm cannon? Eastern front is hard and cold."

      @Austin T. Well...nope. KV-1 had same 76mm cannon and its tracks were wider than in T-34 :P So i guess gun had nothing to do with tracks ;)
      I used word "kalt" wich means "cold" cause i had no other idea, my german isnt good as i said before so i took first word that came to my mind. Actually snow and temperatures below 0 degrees celcius (im not talking about full on winter, just a little freeze) been a blessing for Germans, cause it was harsh eastern autmun (sometimes at early spring too) wich stopped blitzkrieg. Russians call it "Rasputitsa". Those muddy months had stopped German advance to Moscow and gave soviets time to regroup and defend its capital city ;)

      As a former US Army logistics officer, that's exactly what I was thinking along with "...no wonder they lost." If the Germans had truly believesd they would take over places like Czechoslovakia (Skoda), France (Renault) and Russia (!), their logisticians would have anticipated the need to maintain captured equipment like the Panzer 38t, French schleppers, and the Soviet 76.2mm towed antitank guns. If you expect to have such needs, MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF GERMAN-DESIGNED PLATFORMS to simplify your supply chains. The American and Russian war captains who ruthlessly minimized the number of platforms understood what it was going to take to win an industrial war. For the Germans, "the perfect was the enemy of the good."
