Technically the true kill ratios were at least double what you are stating because at least 50% of all Tiger I losses were due to mechanical issues and abandonment while mired in swampy terrain, not to actual destruction by the enemy. Also the Panzer IIIMs were used for anti-tank gun and anti-infantry protection for the Tigers. Thank you for this great video.
Your content is great . You should have more subscribers .
Ty man
Your work is always superb, Sergio.

Another great video in your series!
were these the tanks Manstein used in his 43-44 winter counter offensives?/? AND WHEN will you do a video on his greatest defensive battles? (43-44 winter)
it already has in historyatwar chanel
There were no winter 43/44 German counter-offensive . Manstein was defeated and replaced that winter, never to have command again. You probably think of 42/43 Kharkov battles (not many Tigers at that time, no Panthers at all) .
@@aleksazunjic9672 if hitler were not greedy n kept listen to their general . they may sustained their prowess for a bit long-term . not making such a silly decision mistake by his own thought .
There were no "43-44 winter counter offensives" by Manstein, that was a year before. In the winter of 1943-44, Manstein's battered force (Army Group South) was engaged in the battle of survival, trying to prevent a heavy defeat from turning into outright catastrophe. By April 1944, Manstein was dismissed by Hitler.
Another wonderful video shared by an excellent ( war academy) channel ..thanks for sharing

Good history Channel
The legendary Kurt Knispel...❤❤❤❤
And Otto Carius❤❤ who went on to become a pharmacist.
Kurt bullshit knispel.what a joke.a bad soldier given to much credit.
At 1:26 we are told the first battalions should have "about 25" Tigers.
That's wrong. Their structure was spelt out in documents : it was 20 Tigers.
The 501 and 503 were set up with exactly those numbers.
What is the name of th music in the beginning of the video and keep it in every video you do about ww2 because its very good to start a video about ww2 with that music in the beginning
This war has so many interesting characters on both sides and I love reading about it just like I do our American Civil War and the Roman Empire
Great Job & Show 😊 Have a Great & Safe Week ; Long Beach Ca. 🌴🌊🧜♀️🐬🏄♂️😮💨🌅. Lenny G.
It's insane to think those panzer aces scored over a 100 enemy kills. The technological and training cap was seviere. What would be the highest amount of enemy tanks destroyed is US Irag war? Abrams vs T-72. I doubt not mutch more than 10.
Because there were much more targets to be had in WW2. The huge size of units involved is something we today cannot fathom.
Because they did not 😁 Germans tended to .. exaggerate ... things a little . And gullible Western public believed them, because there was no data from Soviet side (losses, numerical status of units) .
The logistics to keep those Tigers rolling had to be astronomical, never mind keeping the crews at least fed,,
Comparing kill and loss ratios is tough when the terrain types etc the battalions fought on, from what you say, were probably different since they fought in completely different sectors of the German front line. We also dont know what types of Russian tanks they were engaged with and how well they were led.
SO GLAD you are commerical free!!!
That flat front plate on the Tiger H always bothers me.
i just want to say wtf , if they had the oil IF THEY HAD THE OIL
They were not that great . The Germans were not able to make very many, the tank sunk to the turrets in the mud and the transmissions failed at 200 km of service.
It wouldn't have changed the outcome of the war. It would have only prolonged it. The Allies in general and the Americans in particular could produce weapons in numbers which Germany could not possibly hope to have matched.
@@classicgalactica5879 yeah it would, în 41 the lack of fuel made the not exploid at the full ther breakings
@@classicgalactica5879 the Russian are attributing to inflicting 80% of the German casualties the Allies had a marginal effect on the outcome
@gregorymilla9213
2/3 of German expenditure and resources went on their air and sea forces and these were largely destroyed in the west.
If the British were not in the war then the European Axis would have grown larger, more powerful and with more resources and would have controlled everywhere from the Azores to Iran.
Britain, and later the USA in the war was crucial.
The Kursk operation didn't so much as "fail" as it was called off by Hitler. Manstein believed that the Germans, whose casualties and material losses were not substantial, could have carried the day. But even if they had closed the bulge defeating the Russians it would have in all likelihood only gained them a couple months breathing room. Kursk was one of the very few times where Hitler had a better grip on the reality of the situation than did his generals. Cheers!
0:13 Panther or Jagdpanther
Too few unreliable but when used incredibly effective Tigers too late. They put Lenin’s quote “quantity has a quality all its own” to the test though.
It was found German kill claims were 4:1 so not so good as 6.75:1 as stated.
200 new Panthers and Tigers produced each month had to fight 4000 T34,s produced every month by Russia plus SU 155 tanks.
😢
As usual the negative comments come out of those who never make a video of their own...they just like to s*** on others.
The Germans would have been better off building stugs and tank destroyers with 75mm guns.
Decent try i give you that...but you made some mistakes.. when you talked about Kurt the picture shown was Richard von Rosen who's battalion got wiped out near normandy by allied carpet bombing Whiteout fire a single shot.he served 502and503..these two knocked out thousands of russian tanks Way more you said...and some other mistakes but yeah good try..
