imagine being in a tank without infantry support and hearing someone outside of your tank pummeling it saying 'you piece of shit its fucking RAW you arse donkey shit'
You gotta admire the iron will of this man who found a way to fight a tank not with a gun but with an axe, requiring extreme close range and running the risk of the crew just shooting from the hatch and firing with small arms fire.
"You see Ivan, if you dress like kitchen cook wielding an axe charging to your enemies, they will be confused and run while frantically acreaming that they not want to be butchered." -Ivan to another Ivan, probably.
Спасибо за проделанную работу! Я родился в России, и все свои 20 лет прожил в России. Я ни разу не слышал об этом Герое Советского Союза, на уроках истории нам о нем не рассказывали. Благодарю Вас, за то что Вы провели мне своеобразный короткий и информативный урок истории, всего Вам хорошего! :)
@@ihaterusians украина разве не была в составе СССР? может быть не все истории запоминаются людьми и не все истории можно изложить в учебниках и тд.? ну конечно же никто о нем ничего и никогда не знал изза того что он был гражданином советской УССР. Видимо ты сам узнал о его существовании только когда видос посмотрел.
Tank crew: sir, taking a break at an enemy camp sounds like a bad idea. Tank commander: what's the worst can happen? A cook with an axe charging at us frantically?
U forgot to mention that the tank engine was off & the crew need to reignite from outside. That's why they couldn't run away and fell prey to a cook with an axe
We dont actually know, theres no info on why they didnt move the tank since.. well, the captured men went straight to a POW camp. My personal theory is that the driver must have stalled it trying to leave, and since its a hand crank they were just stuck. Sereda of course was too busy not getting shot so its quite likelly he wouldnt have noticed such a thing. But thats a guess, nobody knows.
You don't see too many stories from this early in the war, especially not on the Soviet side, I love seeing the early tanks depicted like the short barrel T-34s and KV-1s and of course, the Panzer 38ts
Point was that he was hiding so commander got out thinking camp was empty. When cook attacked he rush into tank and when blinded and there was fake command going on he though it was a ambush, that camp was hiding whole time, or Soviet troops got back to camp prime time to attack against their tank. Human mind is crooked thing with confirmation bias, so in his head there could been potentially army outside.
When Soviet Union was a thing, my father was part of a tank/infantry training in russia. There was a tank assault and infantry had to put up smokes and take positions, one guy's equipment failed and also the radio did not work. So he took a shovel and ran towards the tanks, waving the shovel so that the tanks would notice him, and not drive over him. Later when training had concluded my father recalled how the commander went up to the guy who had waved his shovel and said. "It's not up to me but I would give you a medal for trying to attack a tank with a shovel."
Regardless of what side you choose in all these wars, stories like these are just amazing feats of heroism... A true hero for what he managed to do, my hat off.
Recently found this gem of a channel. And this is now my daily source of inspiration! Thank you for bringing such stories to the forefront, respecting their legacy and inspiring generations ahead!
One of the things I love most about your videos is the music. The subtle hints and chords of other songs from movies and games always puts a smile on my face. Thank you for the video!
When i read the title I briefly wondered "Yarnhub doing Battletech now?" Because in that setting there's a mech called "Axman" - which is specifically intended for melee against all kinds of targets including tanks.
It's especially funny because a mech running up and meleeing them is one of the biggest threats to tanks in Battletech, especially since many of them are armed with things like PPCs, LRMs and medium-caliber autocannons that perform poorly in close-quarters combat.
@@v.bieliaiev8202 Why are you trying to change history? Is this a trend now? Sereda was a citizen of the USSR, and was Russian, as even the ending of his surname says (Ukrainian surnames have "ko"/"uk" at the end)
"You know, I asked an active-duty Army officer once - if an infantryman had to take on a tank one-on-one, how should he do it?" "And? What was his answer?" "'DON'T'. He swore that there's no way in hell a single infantryman could take down a tank by himself." "Interesting..."
There are plenty of other channels where you can fact check these stories, and see that these are not embellishments or fiction and not just great animations.
Everyone: Tanks are the greatest beasts of war ever created. We should prepare and invest millions on the development of anti tank weapons Sereda: have you considered use axes?
The US army actually did a serious study on various such methods during WW2, including using big rocks against tanks. The conclusion was that it did work sometimes, but that it was still a terrible idea.
I absolutely love Yarnhub this is what all those "History" channels are supposed to show Actual history. I cannot express how spectacular this channel is and how much I enjoy hearing these stories of brave men and women doing the impossible P.S Also collaborating with Sabaton I mean COME ON what's not to like! :D Edit: 75 likes? Mom get the camera!
with all due respect (these videos are great) there is nothing historically significant about random war stories. Do you better understand the context leading up to the conflict, or its effects on the world? do you better understand the unique ideologies of the nations at war? while stories like this are very fun, they are not "real history"; they are entertainment. History is about much more than brave soldiers and battlefield tactics.
@@nickb3164 There are plenty of archaeologists who are far more interested in learning more about the life of the average person than the deeds of kings and armies. History is history, and it's all worth learning.
The SFX are a nice touch, It really helps to the feeling of being there with Ivan and others. I hope, we will hear the sounds in the next animations aswell. good luck with your work!
There are times were your better off out-smarting your enemy rather than outfighting them. And this man's story is a good example of that. My compliments to Sereda. I'm just sorry he never became a chief like he wanted too.
Completely out of point because we really give zero shit about “brave Ukrainians”, but yes , glory in the memory of the soviet heroes of the 1940s who gave up their life’s for our own future!
"A tank is just a big iron coffin if you know how to defeated", personally I wouldn't recommend to use an axe but if it works for you I can't argue against that
From what source did you get that the Soviets used potatoes in practice? There were a lot of grenades in the Soviet Union. For me, it's kind of nonsense.
I appreciate the integrity of your videos, especially with your thumbnails. They are appealing but not too flashy. I’ve stopped watching Simple History because I can’t take those videos seriously anymore. Great animation too! I love the camera angles on the tank too. These animations get better with each video.
It wasn't German armor, as mentioned, but Czech armor with a German crew, because the Panzerkampfwagen 38 (t) was a light tank from the czechoslovakian manufacturer Ceskomoravska Kolben-Danek, developed before World War II.
Hey… thanks for the animation, it’s great how your able to say so much if a story in only 8 minutes, thank you. Ivan polovich, rest with honor, 1919-1950

Just read history and you will see that Ruzzians used Ukrainians for their own purposes for 350 years, they called them brothers, and the next day they could stab them in the back, that’s the essence of Ruzzians
From just reading the title, you would expect the Axman to win against the odds, but it would be interesting to watch a video for once that details a historic document for eight and a half minutes about an axeman who hacks away at a tank for eight minutes until the operators finally have enough free time on their hands to shoot him.
6:45 this is Hardest task to do . When tank crew realizes that they have superior numbers, they will use tricks. a lone man tieing 4 men is very hard thing.
@@sjonnieplayfull5859 What is remembered? He did some heroic deeds, and maybe because of that, he died young. For 99,9 percent of the people, nothing is remembered. He will be remembered as The Hero of the Soviet Union which is no small thing, but if you have never seen this video you would never know about him.
@@ozymandiasnullifidian5590 And yet that is more then just the plinth of a statue with a name and a boast on it, read by one explorer, and told to some others. If I had not read that one story, your name would have been meaningless to me and probably even overlooked.
Yarnhub , Can you make a video about Franz Staudegger Tiger tank engagement with 50 T34s destroying 22 of them in a single day during the battle of Kursk
Hans: "hey Peter look at this camp there's no one, we take this camp easily" peter: "ja Hans, without casualties we will be praise" Russian soldier: **show up with an axe** peter: "yo Hans take a look of this guy with an axe he think he can defeat us" Hans: "uhhhh..... peter" peter: "Ja?" Hans: "I think we accidentally Active a boss battle" peter: "what do you mean?" **boss music started slowly** Narrator: with a pale look of both soldier they realize that they choose the wrong camp Hans and Peter: "schizt"
The germans: we can take him. The Soviet legend: defeats a tank with an axe. The germans: we are going to be the laughing stock of our battalion. The other soviets: sees the cook next to the german crew and the tank. The commander: who put this soldier on cooking duty. Also i was wondering where the germans aloud to go back to their battalion?.
Wow, amazing bravery as well as great thinking to fool the tank crew into believing there were multiple soldiers attacking! Loved the ‘dancing potatoes’ animation as the panzers approached, and the view of the thrown axe striking the tree. I also really appreciate you ending your videos with an epilogue of the character’s life after the highlighted incident. Thoughtful touch to include those.

I just saw the story on a meme I didn't knew it was true
Always sad to see a hero die.
Hey he died somewhat peacefully tho, he survived the war and died as a civilian, and that's what matter
@@h.bjoewho6859 Yes, but he died young. It is not specified what, but such were those times.
@@ozymandiasnullifidian5590 At least more of him is remembered then just the plinth of his statue...
@@sjonnieplayfull5859 What is remembered? He did some heroic deeds, and maybe because of that, he died young. For 99,9 percent of the people, nothing is remembered. He will be remembered as The Hero of the Soviet Union which is no small thing, but if you have never seen this video you would never know about him.
@@ozymandiasnullifidian5590 And yet that is more then just the plinth of a statue with a name and a boast on it, read by one explorer, and told to some others. If I had not read that one story, your name would have been meaningless to me and probably even overlooked.
You guys are amazing, the way you animated this, the sound effects the voice lines, made me feel like I was actually there, keep it up guys!
both him and germans shows us that we should never give up (retreat)
This channel is amazing, I've already watched 2 of your videos.
The editing is frigging superb.
Keep it up.
Yarnhub , Can you make a video about Franz Staudegger Tiger tank engagement with 50 T34s destroying 22 of them in a single day during the battle of Kursk
yes plsss
Now that's a good David and Goliath special 🥰
Even this hero was Ukrainian.
🇺🇦💪
7:56 oh yeah this Mosin-Nagant is cool yeah *proceeds to shoot semi-automatic instead of bolt action*
Soviet soldier at 0.1% max power:
Hans: "hey Peter look at this camp there's no one, we take this camp easily"
peter: "ja Hans, without casualties we will be praise"
Russian soldier: **show up with an axe**
peter: "yo Hans take a look of this guy with an axe he think he can defeat us"
Hans: "uhhhh..... peter"
peter: "Ja?"
Hans: "I think we accidentally Active a boss battle"
peter: "what do you mean?"
**boss music started slowly**
Narrator: with a pale look of both soldier they realize that they choose the wrong camp
Hans and Peter: "schizt"
Sheiße...
The germans: we can take him.
The Soviet legend: defeats a tank with an axe.
The germans: we are going to be the laughing stock of our battalion.
The other soviets: sees the cook next to the german crew and the tank.
The commander: who put this soldier on cooking duty.
Also i was wondering where the germans aloud to go back to their battalion?.
Every single one of these stories give me goosebumps. Thank you for sharing these, Yarnhub :)
Another great one by yarnhub. The first person pov was a chef's kiss
This is one of the weirdest facts of WW2, my friends need to watch this
Dude runs and leaves rifle behind by accident
"Man why won't they let me join them"
5:31 how the Krummlauf was developed
Wow, amazing bravery as well as great thinking to fool the tank crew into believing there were multiple soldiers attacking!
Loved the ‘dancing potatoes’ animation as the panzers approached, and the view of the thrown axe striking the tree.
I also really appreciate you ending your videos with an epilogue of the character’s life after the highlighted incident. Thoughtful touch to include those.
