There's a reason the Americans and Soviets didn't use night vision before, despite developing them three to five years earlier. The technology was just not mature.
I really hope you guys like this, i put a lot of time and effort into making the video. I tried to get a nice diverse range of Nazi weapons, people wouldn't have heard about before. Mini shoutout to my boy ManyMilesAway for being around to check i didn't mess up the facts
It's kinda cool cause the US actually did have active night vision it's on an M2 select fire carbine and was called the M3 carbine it was used in the invasion of Okinawa and caused 30% of rifle and carbine casualties which is impressive considering there were only 150 of the M3's there
Germany used the highest proportion of horse base transport and logistics of any major powers. Far more then most combined. By comparison the UK had its army fully mechanised by 1942, Germany never got close and was even de-mechanising troops at the time. It was better then Germanies idea, the proposed during Sealion to do the same... but in river barges... unpowered under tow. Germany was way worse.

When your back is against the wall it is time to try anything, anything at all. Some of those weapons may have been failures, others were a huge success. Example at the battle of Salerno the Germans used guided by wire rockets. Big success. The advantage the Germans had was the superior engineering that made any crazy idea possible. The Flak 88 was an anti aircraft weapon. It turned out to be the best gun of its kind of the entire conflict. Nothing else came even close. The Me262 was so far ahead of everything else it could have been a game changer. Lack of fuel and pilots did it in.
Goliath was more useful than those 2,its more hidden (meaning plane and aircraft have a difficult time finding it) and it has explosive which can explode vehicle

Yep, "JARTS"! Late 60's, 70s, and as a kid, Grandad and Grandma's HUGE family reunions, lawn darts became the fav of all the family, tossing the fin-laden, giant nail, sailing through the air, what goes up, must come down, nailing the center of the mini-hula-hoops, in the grass. Or on whoever! It was like your own Command & Control, windage and using angles, that was (and is) time to "Missile Deployed". I just checked E-Bay, big item now.
The allies did have night vision equipment with the Tabby monoculars and night driving systems being fairly widespread. Not sure they ever saw any German IR searchlights but there were plenty of opportunities to spot them if they'd been used on the western front.
yeah look putting an explosive charge on a pistol hadnt been tried before because its stupid, so is trying to cross a lawn dart with an anti tank mine. I wish people would stop pretending things are amazing just because they came out of nazi germany
@@ledavalon7118 Well, there are a lot of the german developments that really were outstanding for the time. For example the panzergaust wich later was used as a template for the russian RPG weapon. Another good example is the last submarine type that they developed, after the war, literally every other nation used this submarine configuration for their standard and nuclear submarines.
No they didn't have a headstart. They were considerably behind. There's a reason why the Americans and Soviets who were working on it three to five years before them didn't use it in combat- the technology was just not mature enough.
weird most of the german army field weapons from the common grunt to the tankers were way ahead of anything that the allies had and old army sgt maj once said that it wasn't uncommon to see some us army NCO's carrying an mp-40' and the STG-44 or the FG-42
Listening about Vampire night vision.... Ironically i was talking yesterday with my good buddy about nightvisions, as I'm about to buy one, and he said: don't think about active NV with IR light because you will see with it for about 300m and you will be seen from over 1km because you'll be light as flare to every radar/scaner around xD Ahh, times has changed
Cool video dude. Some of these were brilliant; like the night vision scope. But others (like the crude anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons) you can really see the desperation in their design.
Hmm...the Sturmpistole was a design to (desperatly) fill the gap of manportable AT- weapons at the eastfront right before the massproduction of Panzerfaust kicked in. The K-98 rifle, as example, was also used with a similar barrelmounted 3cm grenadelauncher (Schießbecher) as AT-weapon solution...with only moderate effect against the first and early tanks....The brandnew "Uhu" - nightvision system was introduced at the last months and weeks of the war...
The Goliath idea is actually a pretty good one in modern terms. If they'd had time to develope it into something useful, it could have been used in high numbers at Kursk, for example...
@@LowEnd31st Not really revolutionary, just cheap and powerful. Granted aiming was much more up to guess work than those fired by the _Panzerschreck_ and _M1/ M9_ rocket launcher.

The petrol driven GOLIATH were massively used by Germans against city barricades build by the soldiers of Polish Underground Army, during >Warsaw's Uprising
The reason the Maus is so named is because of the considerably larger Ratte, which wasn't so much a tank as it was literally a Kriegsmarine Cruiser turret with a mobile chassis built around it. The Rattes defensive guns would be comprised of Tiger or Panther turrets and Maus turrets mounted along the perimeter of the chassis. It was a behemoth that thankfully only existed on paper and the minds of the people that thought the beast up.
the weird infrared light was still in use on a G3 rifle in the german army in 1986. we used it in the Panzergrenadierbattallion 22. batteries were a lot lighter though.
The nazis controlled all design so therefore they are nazi weapons. Doesn’t matter if the people making or using them were supporters of the nazi party, they were still controlled by the Nazis
A rule of thumb for german V-pronounciation: Words of germanic origin: V= F (Vogel, Volk, Verein etc.) Words of latin origin: V = W (Verb, Vokabel, Verifizierung etc.)
The caterpillar to Goliath is built into the wall of the Cathedral of St. John in Warsaw, because these self-propelled mines were in common use during the Warsaw Uprising in 1944.
+perpenduruclar 720 Rockets were nothing new. Nor their fundamental design (most then recent technological work was done by a Massachusetts native by the name of Robert Goddard, albeit much of the practical work was independently done by Hermann Oberth ) was improved during the war. It was the application and tactics used that were revolutionary. Same with cruise missiles. The assault rifle was neither new in design, usage, or in its ammunition. Albeit it was the first in name.
@@parttimecripple If a Military weapon kills more people in its production then the enemy... yeah. It doesn't work as a military weapon. Anyway; most of your comment is silly. The allies had swept winged aircraft and assault rifles at the same time if not earlier. The Germans weren't really decades ahead. And in the main tech being used by the Germans ... like Bolt action rifles & Horses they were far behind the allies.
Learn some basic rules regarding WWII tank warfare. Moving attacking tanks are far more vulnerable in a battle than a static camoflaged defending tank or anti-tank gun. Remember a moving attacking tank is entering unknown ground and has to stop before it can fire a round. A defending tank or anti-tank crew knows the ground, are prepared and are ready to fire a round immediately. You were far safer defending than attacking, at least initially. The allies won due to superiority in numbers when attacking, that is they were happy to lose many tanks whilst attacking. This all changed later after WWII when it was possible to target and shoot rounds while a tank was on the move.
In the late 80's, start 90's, when shit allmost hit the fan, i tried a similar, but slightly modified nightvision as shown 8:00 min in the video. It was mounted on a M75 and the range was aprox 100 meters. Though it was 40 years after the first, German model, it was still 10 kg+ and the target was shown as a green blob....Glad i didnt had to use it hot :-)
It's so funny as a German to listen how you pronounce the words! Don't take this to serious, but it sounds awful! Anyways, these words are really complicated and I am sure you did your best! You Pronounced Panzerfaust very well!
Ever seen the USA's M3 Night Vision system from WW2? It saw very effective use in the Pacific, especially on Okinawa when the Japanese suicide sappers liked to try and slip into defense positions at night.
3:55 Lol, anti-tank lawn dart. If they don't detonate, I'd be afraid of the damn thing getting thrown back. If it wasn't such a last ditch weapon, they probably would have equipped it with a time fuse as well.

The reason the Maus is so named is because of the considerably larger Ratte, which wasn't so much a tank as it was literally a Kriegsmarine Cruiser turret with a mobile chassis built around it. The Rattes defensive guns would be comprised of Tiger or Panther turrets and Maus turrets mounted along the perimeter of the chassis. It was a behemoth that thankfully only existed on paper and the minds of the people that thought the beast up.

That looks like something strait out of wolfenstien: the new order.
Its really cool that you can pronounce the german names right ^^ Not many english speaking people can pronounce them right
wow thanks notification that notifies me 30mins later
And you didn’t get to see the video?
Jonathan Cerda no he didn’t
You say weird, I say innovated.
Some of these are amazing. Like thr conversion of flare to a AT pistol is cool.
Funny how in Company of Heroes the Goliath can whip at high speed towards its target while in reality it was super slow.
So many damn wehraboos in this comment section.
Indeed
All that technology in 1940s means we should already have been in mars had the people not been so violent.
Not everything was weird, night vision back then is pretty impressive.
the weird infrared light was still in use on a G3 rifle in the german army in 1986. we used it in the Panzergrenadierbattallion 22. batteries were a lot lighter though.
Hans??? They have your Wunderwaffe vergessen!
HANS!!! GET THE FLAMMENWÄÄRFÄÄÄÄRRR
Finnish soldiers also had relatively good success with the panzerfaust
Do you remember lawn darts? The most dangerous outdoor game? Now they are explosive tipped
Fliegerfaust is dominating bfv right now
ikr
nazis dont Invented these thinggy(only assault rifle)..But they are the one making It Work Properly.. well done
Strange German weapons were made*
DICE: Write that down! Write that down!
As a history nut kid, I used to think the Sturmpistole was the most amazing thing.
I really enojoy this kinds of videos, nice like always m8.
The whole German army were not all Nazis,
It should say the German army not nazi army.
Michael Clements The weapons were funded by the Nazi ragime
The nazis controlled all design so therefore they are nazi weapons. Doesn’t matter if the people making or using them were supporters of the nazi party, they were still controlled by the Nazis
@@meesguyy you dint even know what nazi means so pls stfu xD
NickimitDicki oh really? Nazi was a nickname for the National Sozialist Deutschland Arbeiter Partie, or Hitler’s political party.
They were all the enemy regardless.
i feel like the Goliath would be more useful as a way to demo enemy fortifications
Nice Grand Budapest Hotel OST in there :D
At 2:28 was just funny how He explained it
The "W" in german is pronounce like a "V". Just a little thing that just stuck out to me.
Ex. Wolf
"Vulf"
wolksvagen....
@@kyleshores432 uuum its VolksWagen
A rule of thumb for german V-pronounciation:
Words of germanic origin: V= F (Vogel, Volk, Verein etc.)
Words of latin origin: V = W (Verb, Vokabel, Verifizierung etc.)
@@thedude9859 o: hab ich in 28 jahren nicht bemerkt, danke :D #peinlich D:
My only reaction to all of these ideas is "holy lord!"
The caterpillar to Goliath is built into the wall of the Cathedral of St. John in Warsaw, because these self-propelled mines were in common use during the Warsaw Uprising in 1944.
Based on the number of photos you were able to show of Allies with goliath's it is safe to assume that it wasn't too hard to cut the control wires. :P
It also could be disabled by shooting that the tracks.
In fact, Germany was decades ahead...

No, they weren't.
Jp BA yes

Rockets were nothing new. Nor their fundamental design (most then recent technological work was done by a Massachusetts native by the name of Robert Goddard, albeit much of the practical work was independently done by Hermann Oberth ) was improved during the war. It was the application and tactics used that were revolutionary. Same with cruise missiles. The assault rifle was neither new in design, usage, or in its ammunition. Albeit it was the first in name.
@@parttimecripple That actually worked? With the V-2 failure rates and costs... and lack of effectiveness then i'd say they they didn't actually work.
@@parttimecripple If a Military weapon kills more people in its production then the enemy... yeah. It doesn't work as a military weapon. Anyway; most of your comment is silly. The allies had swept winged aircraft and assault rifles at the same time if not earlier. The Germans weren't really decades ahead. And in the main tech being used by the Germans ... like Bolt action rifles & Horses they were far behind the allies.
Learn some basic rules regarding WWII tank warfare.
Moving attacking tanks are far more vulnerable in a battle than a static camoflaged defending tank or anti-tank gun.
Remember a moving attacking tank is entering unknown ground and has to stop before it can fire a round. A defending tank or anti-tank crew knows the ground, are prepared and are ready to fire a round immediately. You were far safer defending than attacking, at least initially. The allies won due to superiority in numbers when attacking, that is they were happy to lose many tanks whilst attacking.
This all changed later after WWII when it was possible to target and shoot rounds while a tank was on the move.
4:00 Lawn Darts for Real men.
German Weaponry:- It's not weird.. just ahead of it's time.. that's all
In the late 80's, start 90's, when shit allmost hit the fan, i tried a similar, but slightly modified nightvision as shown 8:00 min in the video. It was mounted on a M75 and the range was aprox 100 meters. Though it was 40 years after the first, German model, it was still 10 kg+ and the target was shown as a green blob....Glad i didnt had to use it hot :-)
Nice really enjoyed this :)
I really like this type of videos by you, keep doing what your doing
It's so funny as a German to listen how you pronounce the words! Don't take this to serious, but it sounds awful! Anyways, these words are really complicated and I am sure you did your best! You Pronounced Panzerfaust very well!
+Satis Faction i tryed my best ^ ^. My german friend was pulling his hair out when trying to teach me how to pronouce the german words.
The Iron Armenian aka G.I. Haigs i can imagine the situation so good xD ^^
Satis Faction i think the pronouncing is very good for a not german speaker
Petertildtmann Tildtmann might be
I want to marry a German girl, hook me up. I want us to have a baby and call him von richtoffen
Ever seen the USA's M3 Night Vision system from WW2? It saw very effective use in the Pacific, especially on Okinawa when the Japanese suicide sappers liked to try and slip into defense positions at night.
3:55 Lol, anti-tank lawn dart. If they don't detonate, I'd be afraid of the damn thing getting thrown back. If it wasn't such a last ditch weapon, they probably would have equipped it with a time fuse as well.
