There is no chance that this channel doesn’t blow up soon. Extremely diverse and Intersting topics, very consumable durations, that is historically/factually sound as well as well narrated and articulated. It’s a privilege to have access to media like this for free. Keep doing what you do brother
Semper Fidelis
Thank you kindly. Semper Fi!
I can’t stop watching these videos, a history nuts goldmine. Im very amazed by the quality of production and effort put into these videos. Thank you Forgotten History team!
Thank you kindly!

Sometimes thinking outside of the box results in an incredible invention, unfortunately this wasn't one. Thanks for your research Mr. D 😊
True! Thank you kindly.
After losing so many of my favorite books, on many different era's of history. No Details. (not necessary)
I am ALWAYS THRILLED to hear your voice and to be informed from my Favorite Historian.
Thank you, ALWAYS!!!!💯
Wow, thank you!
Great video. I'd seen this design and read about it but this video, as usual for this channel, gave fantastic and clear details I'd never seen before. Thanks for the continuing great videos (even when I disagree about some assertions). Please keep them coming. It's great to see topics explained by military experts, people who've been through it all. Thanks!
Thanks for watching
I can’t tell u how much I want to see that tank especially if it were powering through a battle field of action. Yes, I believe another go could have done some good. Often we don’t know what’s needed until we see what we have fail then the ideas, good ones, will fly.
Thank you for what you do I love this stuff. By-the-way I am a new subscriber and am very happy with what I saw. The shows I have seen were done very well. I look forward to more from you.
Thank you kindly
I think it would just sink if currently engaged in Ukr. The main battle tanks have trouble with soft damp soil. Time for the Hover Tanks. I remember a video game 40 years ago...
Reminds me of a couple of German WW2 failures, the Mause & the Gigant. My dad built a scale model of the Gigant out of balsa & plaster cloth once & gave it to a hobby shop to display.
Awesome
Very interesting. I would love to see a documentary on Operation Rapid Fire by MACV-SOG during the Vietnam War. My Father, a helicopter door gunner, volunteered for Operation Rapid a Fire III in November 1967. It's purpose was to suck the Loc Ninh regiment into a trap and eliminate them to the last man. It was led by Lt. COL. James Gordon "Bo" Gritz.
Information on Rapid Fire is very hard to find. Ive pieced together from 30 years of research & what my dad remembers. Please do a documentary on Operation Rapid Fire if possible. It would answer many questions my dad has had for 56 years.
If we can. Thanks for watching.
As you know Mike I am a tread head. Even though it failed I find this design to be the most intriguing and interesting of all the tank designs of that era. 10 mph was very fast for that time,. usually 3 mph. What a wild concept .
Thanks for watching.
Forgotten History is straight up the History Channel of UA-cam lol! ❤
Thank you kindly!
wow I'd never heard of it before, thank you, very interesting
Thanks for watching
Ya know , not ever seeing this tank before , I thought it would be a great tank for it's time. Thanks for showing us this important piece of history. 🙂🇺🇸🙏
Thanks for watching
Very interesting, Mr. Droberg, thanks. Outlandish looking design, to modern eyes. That one engineer contributor, Boris Stechkin, rings a bell. Did he go on to invent the sub machine gun/pistol that bears his surname?
I wouldn't have thought too far into what Boris's other inventions were, but seeing your comment made me glance at Wikipedia. It only indicates he was involved in the construction of Soviet aircraft engines besides this tank. Which is pretty cool. Considering nobody had a set idea of what a tank *should* look like, it is interesting seeing what the early designs looked like.
Seems like David Glad already answered your question. Thanks for watching!
Until the British employed TANKS in 1916 no-one had seen anything like it. Some of the famous rhomboid shape tanks went to Russia when the Allies intervened and fought the Bolsheviks. Tanks were given to White forces but ended up being captured. Some were set up as memorials to the revolution and a handful are still on display in Russian cities today.
I thought this to be a very interesting and informative video. I got a solution for its weaknesses.
Thanks for watching
Great video and for your next show can you please cover Mephisto, the only surviving German tank of World War 1.
We have some footage of that tank in our WW1 tanks episode.
cool
Thanks for watching.
You gotta feel sorry for the Tsar. Like SO many monarchs, he relied on the people around him. Not that I’m an engineer, EVERYTHING about this contraption is wrong. The third wheel, obviously, but the two front wheels are also ridiculous. One well aimed artillery shell would destroy the spokes. And how could you miss them? Maybe a grenade or two taking out the engines (especially when they were disengaged to allow them to cool) and it surely would be a sitting duck. Terrible.
Thanks for your insight
wierd design but surely its creative
Can't argue that one
That tank comes up every now and again. The idea was interesting but it was a huge disaster!
Agreed.
Russians are/were some inventive people, always trying something and sometimes they succeed.
Thanks for watching
Can you please do a show on the forgotten history of the trade center buildings. And how they had munitions in them when they were built. And on how most people still don't know about how a third building came down that day just from "fires". #7 came down in an obvious controlled demo. Please help open people's eyes to this atrocity. You guys rock!
No, unfortunately, UA-cam will not put ads on anything with 9/11 footage
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL screw the adds. Its truth.
I wonder if it had clutches to both drive wheels would that have made a difference? The ability to independently drive forward or backward would have turned the steering wheels into drag wheels or stabilizers. It would be like a zero turn mower.
LOL. Thanks for watching.
I think I can see why it didn't work well. The rear wheel would hold too much weight of the entire tank. Fun design though.
It seems to me the problem was the size , shape and configuration of the rear steering wheels.
Yes
Ah, so this is what the Doom Wheel is based on.
Yeah, I could see Skaven building this.
MOUNT-PLACE THE GUN-CANNON ON TALL-GIANT WHEELS, SO WE MAY SHOOT-DESTROY MANTHING WALLS!
Good ole warhammer!
Goofy ideal but I'd love to see a working model in combat.
Wild, Wild, West redux come to mind with the steam powered Spider walking across the desert? That's what these guys were thinking. Footprint is king in the mud and wheels offer the lowest ratio, comparable to feet. In reality, small arms fire at the spokes will take it out in short order.
Or some clowns shoot the supporting infantry and throw pipes under the wheels. They can never go forward. Clowns like that get nice Medals.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video never seen this and I appreciate the history.
One word comes to mind for this Machine - DISPROPORTION.
The wheels are clearly to disproportionate, the front ones are too large and the back one is way too small and all that weight transferring to the back pushing on those smaller Wheels it's going to make it a lot harder for them to work effectively he would have been better off putting a third wheel the same size as the front two and the wheels should have been armored.... If he fix the wheel problem in the back and armored the wheels this could have been a formidable and intimidating brutal machine.... But alas it was not meant to
Thanks for watching.
I'm losing my mind rn. This tank was made in 1914. Then why is the Little Willie (1915) the first tank ever made?
They were both prototypes!
The wheels will be an easy target.
Damage the wheels and the tank can't move anymore.
Yup, looked good on paper, but...
It would've work for ww1 trench warfare.
Real muddy there. Would've got stuck
Looks like a kiddie bike. Take care.
LOL, indeed.
They’d have been better off replicating Leonardo Da Vinci’s “tank” designs.
Indeed
Una cazzata pazzesca ❤️
Thanks for watching
The reason the czar tank failed is in the name. When the peasants give until they're almost on the verge of poverty and the Tsar is wasting money on a tank, that his engineers can't figure out how to fix, just threw fuel on the fire of revolution. A resolution to the third wheel problem wood ( yeah that fits in the sentence dumbass ) be to do like the tractors of today. Put tracks where the Wheels were. With either steering wheel on the front or articulating steering in the middle for all four tracks. Could steer with brakes or with an independent engine driving the tracks or both. Disengaging the drive on the two big wheels the track Drive could almost spent in a circle while also pushing forward to keep them from getting stuck. Just a thought. I'm really not into the World of Warcraft where they are training our children do blow people's heads off or to fly drones with no feeling of any kind. But that's how the corporate world with the help of the stock market does their thing in almost every country. It used to operate on a whole lot of fear, with a little bit of Hope. Now it's a whole lot of anticipation of wealth with a little bit of Hope. That probably got me on double secret probation again.!!! From the UA-cam upper echelon , and their most precious guidelines🤔.😂😂😂😮🌝🌹
Very strange looking thing 🧐
Thanks for watching.
Why does this guy sound like Joe Pera?
I thought it look like a piece of junk from the beginning.
LOL
