Depends how you use them The Jagdtiger and also the Tiger II (King Tiger) were constructed when the Germans were only in Defense. For defensive situations I think these tanks are the best you could get in this time
Gen. Patton admired the German soldiers and their tanks. My dad drove a half track under Patton in WWII. He said Patton wanted to take what was left of the German army and defeat the Russians, but the politicians wouldn't let him do it.
Actual if you carefull read the debats Patton had with Eisenhower regarding more fuel and more bomber planes the answere were. There is no more of either. So no matter of how much Eisenhower would had done the same (I doubt it because no evidence had showend up so far) he could not have done it. Also the russians was exhaused and admit that they had used their reserves to push through at Seelow highs. So either had have any plans for continue the fight after Germans defeat.
It’s sad we didn’t realize just how rare these beautiful machines would later turn out to be and not just turned into scrapped. I’m just happy there were some people smart enough to save some of these pieces of history.

Yes great story ,I personally had the chance to photograph # 331 at Aberdeen Proving Grounds .It is one awesome machine with signs of battle damage ,once again great job!
I was stationed at Aberdeen Proving Ground in 1980, attending the Small Arms Repair Course as a young Marine just out of recruit training. I was assigned to Area Guard one night, and my post was at the Ordnance Museum. After dark I actually climbed up on 331, and a few of the other German tanks.
EXCELLENT video! The amount of work to put this together must have been exhausting, you pretty much explained the fate of every Jadgtiger that Porsche and Henschel made. It's sad such magnificent machines had to be designed for war. They would've been great peacekeeping weapons for defense against invasion had Germany chose that route.
Thanks much for all the work you put into this - I am amazed at not only the bulk of the footage , but all the great information as well - this was GREAT !!
Absolutely amazing video good sir! Thank you for all the work and time you put into making these wonderful videos! Looking forward to seeing more from ya! 😁
My grandfather witnessed the fighting in Schwetzingen as a child and told me he remembers 3 German tanks (the Jagdtigers) coming down the rail line from Heidelberg heading to the town square then a few hours later only one of the coming back after the fighting. The surviving JT had a breakdown in the town of Eppelheim and was blown up by its own crew.
Kids really. By the time the JT went to action, older, experienced crew were very rare. Check out Otto Carius, one of the most famous Tiger/JT commanders.
I have a Black n White photo of my dad standing on a knocked out Jag Tiger....near the end of the war.. ..probably 1944..he remarked how large it was...He never referred to it as a "Jag Tiger"...he called it a "mobile Gun"...i wish I knew which Number Jag it was...
German armor during WWII is by far the most interesting armor of that period but this is also one of Germany's Achilles heel. Germany had way to many designs and prototypes in production and development for a country by 1942 beginning to fight a defensive war. They would have been better off to focus production (limited resources) on just a few designs rather than so many.
True indeed - had they concentrated on and mass produced the Panther tank from the early stages of the war , the outcome may have been very different on many fronts.
fantastic stuff mate, just liked and subbed. You have given me more gret ideas on my tank model dioramas. btw, you gotta crush those who spew hate on your channel , lowers the bar on the good work you do.
Who si going to win god Re the sodimits .ye will see.god said fire is on the,way .hell is coming to the god haters .hide if u want to he will find you jesus is king ..
Clarke was a historian and the Secretary of State under Margret Thatcher. In his book "Barbarossa" he has one of these prototypes being deployed in the final defense of Berlin.
Even when Berlin was In turmoil by th Red, Hitler still talk about his "future City" Germania eventought theres no hope that he will realize that dream
Absolutely mind-bending footage! Very sad to think so many of those machines were just scrapped. But, we must remember the post-war sentiment was to get rid of everything with a Nazi origin to it. I would truly be in awe to stand and see one of these up close. Prayers for all those who fought against them, and all those who fought in them.
This design was unpopular with the crews. It is the anti-Hetzer, which was popular, and easy to use under war conditions. As with many late-war German designs, it was hugely wasteful of scarce resources and it was ultimately beneficial to the Allied war effort that the Germans wasted so much effort developing this heavy white elephant rather than trying to figure out how to make a few more Panthers. Nice video.
Watched this dozens of times What a fearsome weapon Otto Carius destroyed a Sherman with one shooting through the side of a house that the Sherman was hiding behind !
SCODA who designed all the tracks used on German tracked vehicles never got the ground pressure right till they turned the outside edge of the track plate up like on the mouse! Something that simple made the track float and turn on the braked track much More efficient!
truly amazing how the Germans did not learn to stop producing overly sized and overly complex machines. Informative that so many were destroyed by their crews
Less than 100 were made between July 1944 and April 1945. Otto Carrius states that Allied air supremacy, very poor mechanical running gear reliability, and lack of fuel meant that the Jagdtiger never realized it's potential
According to the author of the history of the Nibelungen Werke where the Jagdtiger was built, 5 Jagdtigers were constructed with the 88mm gun. These were blown up in the factory yard at the end of WW2. That puts some doubt as to wether the 88mm Jagdtiger ever saw service.
Very interesting footage and good research! Good job! But I must point out the issue regarding the Porsche suspension as it was not putted in production for the following reasons: 1) due to the reduced numbers of wheels and on the same side together with limited suspension travel it created too much loading or stress on the tracks resulting in rapid wear, bending and eventual breakage and worse flotation on soft ground. 2) The design of the bolt-on suspension, very similar to the VVSS system mounted on the Sherman, could suffer shear-force causing the failure of the unit as easily seen on the captured Jagtiger. 3) The track had to be modified by removing the inner guide that reduced the effectiveness of track control and the idler wheel had to be changed! It is just an punctuation!
I know this video is old, but is there any information about jagdtiger 324's fate after the ambush? Cause I can't find anything about it, like where it went.
The guys in the last third of that video with their Jagdtigers parking in Iserlohn sure had some nice commanding officers. In contrast to most of the other beforementioned Jagdtigers theirs' were not broken down, out of fuel or anything. They seemed to have been fully working and well equipped with numerous weapons and plenty of ammunition, too. But instead of letting his men fight and die an useless death he let them surrender. Some may think of that as treason but I think putting down such mighty weapons and saving as many lives (germans just like allied lives) as possible makes them real heroes. Even more so if you think what happens to such "traitors" in a totalist regime like fascist germany.
My grandfather fought in WW 2. He told me that as his initial advanced deeper into Germany they were amazed that tanks were bigger and deadlier. He said they were like bldgs.
TFW you continually design larger tank and anti-tank guns that make them completely useless and impractical while your enemy is using WWI-era guns and your PaK40 was actually a very good anti-tank gun already
I disagree. I can se no sign of that. However as you mention in the video. They started to use 88 mm gun in november 1944, so it must be pausible to figure out how many there were suited with this gun?
What were the Germans thinking? That thing's suspension was losing the war before the vehicle even saw battle. The engine needed to twice as powerful, and the transmission 4x as strong.
It actually worked. Fight after the steering system reworked in february the reliability of these were very impressive. Don't forget germany is bombed to ashes but the Unit 512 records shows that usually 70% of the panzer stregh were active!
People overstate the capabilities of this so much just because it had 250mm of frontal armour, any of the thousands of M36 tank destroyers could have punched through that from a kilometre away. The side armour was still only 80mm with very little slope, something all the anti-tank weapons the allies had could penetrate from the 75mm Shermans to PIATs and even Bazookas. They didn't perform well on the rare occasion they got into combat, for all their firepower and frontal armour could be nullified with a smoke-shell that they would be risking a huge amount to just drive forward and out of, they'd only be closing the gap and exposing their side far more. JagdTiger wasn't much more than any of the thousands of towed anti-tank guns that were all over the place, sure it was much more resistant to the inevitable artillery barrage that allies called down on any anti-tank gun position, but it was a huge expense for not much extra impact.
It's a shame people were so short sighted about saving them as there scarcity today shows. I think I am right in saying that the puma after is extinct and that was one of the best armoured cars of ww2.
say what you want about the German government at the time but the Germans had some of the most awesome and deadly tanks of the time. Only ones aside from Germany with beautiful designs was the Soviets. Mainly T-34 and the IS models, the second being a better KV-2
Do you able to give the extra crew for your hetzers and panther as well? Don't forget the biggest issue with the Tiger 2s and Jagdtigers were they were only able to put 16 yeards old teens without any pre driving experience in these vehicles. I like how some "esperts" claim that how many "cheaper" vehicles could be made and waste of resources etc. We are talking about germany man. Russian could lose 400.000!!! Tank crew members during the war with 150.000 armored vehicles because they can replace crew. But when you already up to use teenagers from 14 years producing cheaper easy to reproduce tanks is not an option because you can't replace the crew losses. Not to mention the fuel and oil consuption of the more tank thing and the requirements of the logistical supply. Expensive tanks are not always more expensive! This are not only up to a unit price. A smaller army with expensive stuff cost way less resources and money for a goverment than keeping up a larger army with "cheap stuff".
Oh and most jagdtigers broke down due to mechanical failure. They did see combat on the Western front, in one incidence a column of jagdtigers destroyed 25 American tanks from a range of 1200meters. When the Americans returned fire, the shots simply bounced off of the jagdtigers frontal armour.
The german tanks may have been bad at some areas but they are the most beautiful tanks ever made
Depends how you use them
The Jagdtiger and also the Tiger II (King Tiger) were constructed when the Germans were only in Defense. For defensive situations I think these tanks are the best you could get in this time
And deadly...hitler didn't lie they had wonder weapons.
@@No-og7jf just not enough
Also tge best and still are
@Stug Power nahh i think the german tanks were way more beautiful than other way around
Gen. Patton admired the German soldiers and their tanks. My dad drove a half track under Patton in WWII. He said Patton wanted to take what was left of the German army and defeat the Russians, but the politicians wouldn't let him do it.

Great videos. JT and King Tiger are my favorites. Panzer 4 and of course the sexy panther .
Jawohl!.
sir, i have no words for your hard work and dedication! keep it up! :)
+dytz2091 Thank you I appreciate your kind words.

+Butch Einsel you're really lucky to see it in person, I hope it will be on display in a museum really soon.
I was stationed at Aberdeen Proving Ground in 1980, attending the Small Arms Repair Course as a young Marine just out of recruit training. I was assigned to Area Guard one night, and my post was at the Ordnance Museum. After dark I actually climbed up on 331, and a few of the other German tanks.
this one is the best ww2 tank video I have ever seen....good work sir
Thank you good sir.
The germans wer having to anser the world with bravery .they did ..
in my opinion, this is the most beautiful tank of all time

It's sad such magnificent machines had to be designed for war. They would've been great peacekeeping weapons for defense against invasion had Germany chose that route.
With Hitler, that was never an option.
I read about that commander who surrendered at the end there in a book called panzer aces he actually saved that town from being destroyed
Indeed it's a fascinating story.
some of my favorite tank footage of all time keep up the great work!!
Thank you for your comment Carl
Thanks much for all the work you put into this - I am amazed at not only the bulk of the footage , but all the great information as well - this was GREAT !!
Color me grateful also.
Absolutely amazing video good sir! Thank you for all the work and time you put into making these wonderful videos! Looking forward to seeing more from ya! 😁
I appreciate that thank you, i'm glad you enjoyed watching.
What a beautiful, elegant jagdpanzer. The Jadgtiger also had the 128mm pak 44..which could penetrate 250mm of armour plate.
@Rumpelstilzchen It was the 128mm. Also the 17pounder whe firing apds rounds.
My grandfather witnessed the fighting in Schwetzingen as a child and told me he remembers 3 German tanks (the Jagdtigers) coming down the rail line from Heidelberg heading to the town square then a few hours later only one of the coming back after the fighting.

Interesting vid, thanks.
Saw the JagTiger at Bovington Tank Museum 8 years ago..awesome brute...along with all the other interesting vehicles.
Thank you for your comment.

Interesting video, nice to mix the sound of the Saumur KT. it makes the movie even better.
Wow see how young the tank crews looked.
Indeed its really shocking.
Kids really. By the time the JT went to action, older, experienced crew were very rare. Check out Otto Carius, one of the most famous Tiger/JT commanders.
+mike bird indeed mike, thats why so many were abandoned.
no, that was not the reason
Most of theme were between 16 and 18 years old thats why so many abandoned jagdtigers...... poor handeling

I didn't like it. I love it! Jagdtiger is my favorite tank and i am very glad that somebody is doing such a videos about this beast
U can almost smell the G.I.´s shitting their pant as the Jagdtigers rolls in :-)
Probably not right away; they wouldn’t have even them until it was too late. 😂😂😂
Its beautiful really to think that germany kept engaging in new ideas even when defeat was inevitable. Respect
Even when Berlin was In turmoil by th Red, Hitler still talk about his "future City" Germania eventought theres no hope that he will realize that dream

Have a close look at Jagdtiger 314. It has the Porsche suspension, but NO Zimmeritt!
Amazing work!
+Walaki Thank you.
Trefflich getan!
sad how many of them were scraped. i think a lot of them, maybe all should have been spared that fate and put into a museum.
It was only worth money in the price of metal so many were scrapped.
Museums were the last thing on anyone's mind in 1945......
The porche running gear was cheaper, but the suspension suffered way more presure, some porche suspensions broked or the running gears bent
Awesome video
Thank you
Awesome..nuff said.
Form followed function on all sides, yet German tanks remain the most handsome of all.
Watched this dozens of times
What a fearsome weapon

They are from unit 512. They were lucky since a large prtion of them used jagdpanthers or jagdpanzers before.
We must learn to love the jagdpanzer in all its manifestations.
Nice, i see mark of excellence at 19:49
I love this

How much left to right movement did the main gun have before having to turn the hole tank ?
It's sad to see all these beauties get blown up just because of a technical failure :/
I'd like one in my backyard.
Are these measures is practically successful?or first sample remaining in factory storage?
it needed a bigger engine.

Thank you a 1000 times mate, i'm glad you like it.
at 7:08 the 211 has a very thin gun diameter compared to other photos. So I guess it must be one of those fitted with an 88 mm L/71 Gun?
That's probably because the gun is turned and warped by the explosion.
I disagree. I can se no sign of that. However as you mention in the video. They started to use 88 mm gun in november 1944, so it must be pausible to figure out how many there were suited with this gun?
It's not 211 that one is well documented and there were only four Jagdtigers fitted with that gun and there is no pictures of them that I known of.

Some are, but others are from old newsreels so they pretty much can be from anything.
the point is that they are not original
So this tank is the worst tiger variant? noted
Did any server in combat, or were they all blown up by their crews?
+Boxhawk The first Jagdtiger to be knocked out in combat was by a Bazooka team.
The ONLY ever jagdtiger knocked out was by friendly volkstrum troops. They had never seen a jagdtiger and mistaken it for an American tank.
