Back when I started interviewing WW2 veterans on all sides in the 90s, I had a WW2 Panzer officer who fought with the 38t in France, Yugoslavia and early in Russia tell me "For what we paid for them- they were acceptable until you took fire"
I would really like it if you kept the photos/illustrations on screen a little bit longer. This is especially true when talking about things like how the turret design of the Grosstraktors influenced the Pz II/III/IV turrets.
It's a balance, you definitely want to have them on screen long enough to at least get a good glimpse. However, this whole video takes a lecture format. As a result, it seems it's made with the pause function in mind. The information is too dense and rapid to really get it all in one contiguous sitting.
Seconded: At 20:24 the Neubaufahrzeug is shown for 2-3 Seconds, at 20:38 followed by "Look at the shape of the turret". Why not let the picture there for that duration? Afraid people would look at the picture and not listen? It's not a classroom and neither a corpo meeting.
If you want Lt vz. 35 and Lt vz. 38 inside hatch, those are usually (next to each other and yes, both in working order) in Lešany museum during a tank day (last saturday in august or first in september) and there are fine gentlemen in CS tank uniforms from that era who roleplay and talk about the machine / answer questions; pretty sure they would let you film whatever you need if you got in touch with the museum.
Surprised this hasn’t gained more attention. Two tankers from the British isles with extensive tank knowledge. Would be cool to see the modern knowledge of Matsimus and the ww2 knowledge of the chieftain.
"Internal debate was encouraged " Who would of thought that having a place of open discussion where people could freely express their ideas could lead to better tech.
If you want to read a really good book on the Sherman tank now, I can highly recommend ''Armored Thunderbolt'' by Steven Zaloga. It details the M4's development and operational history during world war 2 and it also addresses a lot of the misconceptions about the Sherman. I think the book and the chieftain's lectures really complement each other.
@@ryancook6452 I was an US Navy officer serving as one of the Engineers on nuclear powered surface ships, trained under Adm Rickover's naval nuclear propulsion program. Snipe is a term for those who operate the enginerooms on ships (maybe only in the US Navy). I think the radioactive part is now obvious.
Chieftain videos are always too short. You could make a 24 hour one and at the end I'd say "over already?". I really enjoy listening to you, thanks for your work over the years bringing these videos to the tank enthusiast community.
Thanks, Chieftain! I look forward to watching each type of video you make, but more so the historical ones. I appreciate that you fill in the gaps of what I already know and dispel the myths and misunderstandings that have sprung up over the years. What you do is important. Keep up the good work. 🎺
I've read a lot about the development of the German armored forces and yet I still learned much from this video. Thanks for a well-done and informative presentation.
OMG!! OMG!! I'm gitty right now that you're working with Indy and the gang to make videos in collaboration with their WW2 channel! I can't wait for all of the videos that will come out!!! :D Thanks so much Nick!!
I learnt more than I was expecting here - especially about the early tank development. Good to see Guderain taken down a rung or two as well. That guy would have a serious PR consultant......
I'm not saying that the Kriegsmarine formally existed, just saying that it was not uncommon to simply call the "Kaiserliche Marine" just "Kriegsmarine" way before that.
I was wondering when the ww2 channel started how they were going to cover tanks. I was afraid that a lot of myths (the sherman comes to mind) would get repeated. But I can sleep easy now safe in the knowledge that the subject is in your capable hands :)
This is a really great talk! It really connected a lot of the dots regarding German tank development for me. I would just like to ask to leave the images up just a bit longer when possible. I love the backdrop but having more time to look at the tanks would have my preference. Looking forward to the next one.
German classes became much more fun when I was able to put my WW2 knowledge into use. Knowing stuff like "wespe" is wasp and "rad" (as in Sd.Kfz 231 6 rad and 8 rad) is wheel came in handy.
Oh btw, Otto Carius was a loader on one of those 38(t)s at the beginning of Operation Barbarossa. He'd later become the commander of a Tiger company on the Eastern Front and score hundreds of tank kills.
Actually the primarily meaning of "škoda" is "damage, loss, harm", from there "to je škoda" ("what a loss", "what a pity"), "škodit" ("to harm", "to be harmful") and "poškodit" ("to damage"). But in this case it is a surname of the founder of Škoda - Emil Škoda.
Tarjei Jensen yep the battle of Sedan was basically the Battle of the Marne of WWII. It guaranteed the German-French campaign wouldn’t be a stalemate. Ironically the German-British campaign did become a stalemate, and a deadly one, but an Air Force stalemate that tanks couldn’t solve. It’s amazing to me just how much Germany didn’t prepare for war vs Britain
@The_Chieftain Actually the Austrians & Germans were offered a design of a "Tank" called the "Motorgeschütz" as early as 1911 by Austrian Engineer Gunter Adolf Burstyn
I have that same model Maus and Ferdinand. I used them in my faux historical documentary "Godzilla vs die wehrmacht". I am not kidding, it is on my channel.
Sweet....but what is that model behind the Chieftain's elbow near center of table? My screen is to small to confirm what it is for sure...looks like it has mud shutes, but isn't particularly long so far as length to width ratio...any guesses?
I am not going to say anything interesting but I let me say that I am impressed and admire your knowledge. It is both a pleasure and a challenge watching your videos. Good work.
Many of the pics shown look very interesting. I wish instead of making them 1/4 screen size and flashing them for 1 second they would have instead shown them full screen size for at least 30 seconds...its not like we need to see the narrator more than the subject matter.
I loved the information given on this video. Not only do I play WoT on the NA Server, but I play table-top miniatures with a focus on early-war (WW2). My intent is to play Polish and French battles on the table-top. Really enjoyed this video.
Hey, thanks for the videos you are creating. If you are interested in trying a Chieftan Hatch video with Czechoslovakian tanks, you can try Military History Institue in Prague's Military Technical Museum exposition in Lešany. It looks like they have a functional Lt. vz. 38, from the photos also, IS 2, ISU 152, SU 100, Leopard 1V... They are somehow partnered with WOT, so maybe that could help. But you probably are aware of that.
(Conclusions around 27:47) I know what you are trying to get at from a professional standpoint, but it’s actually quite fortunate that the German military had as much trouble with logistics as they did. :). Great informative video!
you said the Panzer 38(t) was working, so they used it. In fact it was better than the German constructions in a few ways. It was more mobile and more reliable especially in terrain. Acording to spielberger the fast advances in france were made possible by this tank. Scout ahead with a few of the Panzer38(t) and if no resistance was found follow with the remaining Forces.
Pure scouting role with Panzer38(t) worked maybe later after 1941. But in France (and early Russia campaign) the whole panzer regiments were equipped with Panzer38(t). So you had either a lot of them at one place, but none for most of other divisons (and places of combat).
Is that a shillelagh missile acting as your hat stand? Former M551 crewman and border cav alumni here. Keep the lectures coming they are always interesting and informative, one DAT to another.
I would really like to see a polish tank development history because poland and germany are the only ones fighting with tanks against each other,but still a great video chieftain !
Yes, Definitely. The Polish were also trying to develop tanks were influenced by their Russian and Ukranian campaigns in the early 20's. Unfortunately, the military 'old guard' were not as open to the idea and the Polish industry was nowhere capable of mass producing the vehicles needed for an army that was actually the 4th largest in Europe.
@@nikoclesceri2267 The 7TP probably figured into the Russian invasion as an excuse since it was a tank on par with the Pz III. Reworked Vickers 6 Ton wasn't too shabby either.
Really enjoyable, looking forward to the British Explanation on Cruiser and Infantry, with hindsight it looks mad. Considering the development of Tank warfare strategy in Germany between the wars I have found a copy of Len Deighton's blitzkrieg, circ 1979, the rise of Hitler to the fall of Dunkirk. An interesting read he goes into detail of the influence of General Guderian on German Tank Design, particularly, the careful selection of tank crews, and the use of 3 man turret to improve effectiveness. I do wonder how much say he had on the designs. Given the original Mark IV had the stubby 75mm gun more for infantry support and the Mark III had the high performance 37mm anti-tank gun was this doctrine more consistent with the British Cruiser and Infantry doctrine, early WW2 than has been given credit for, though the German Tanks were more of a medium size?. I think they grasped the reality sooner than the British, that a single tank design with a multipurpose gun was a better solution for manufacture (Aka Lee/Grant @ Sherman), resulting in the focus on the Mark IV. It took to Centurion for the British to get it right, by basically binning the old doctrine. Mind you did they get it right.
By D-day the British had adopted this principle, and most of their Cromwells and Shermans had the 75mm gun, although some of their Cromwell tanks retained the 6pdr (57mm) for anti tank use and of course there was the Firefly.

Pointing out a mistake you made: German Navy during WWI wasn’t called “Kriegsmarine”, but “Kaiserliche Marine”. (Timestamp: 1:48)
Fair Point.
To be completely fair: it was called "Kriegsmarine" very often to better distinguish the fighting branch from civilian branches.
Or "Imperial German Navy', if you find German hard to pronounce (no offense).
Philipp Kriegsmarine was only formally established in 1935.
I'm not saying that the Kriegsmarine formally existed, just saying that it was not uncommon to simply call the "Kaiserliche Marine" just "Kriegsmarine" way before that.

Wow, much information and very informative. So watching twice is recommended. Thanks Chief!
This is really interesting! Thank you.
Nice video.
Quick note: It's Škoda, not Skoda. It's read like Shkoda (sh as in "ship"). Same goes for ČKD (ChKD, ch like in check).
Which also means "pity" in Czech. To je Škoda.

Nobody like a SmartyCzech.
heh, we have the word "škodit" (шкодить) in Russian as a colloquialism.
