in World War II, from Panthers and
Tigers to fast recon cars and halftracks.
halftracks.
This video breaks down every important
vehicle they put on the battlefield.
Let's begin with battle tanks, the
Panzers. Panzer Bry, originally designed
as a training vehicle, the tiny Panzer 1
was pressed into combat [music] service
during the invasions of Poland and
France. Armed only with two machine guns
and boasting paperthin armor, it relied
entirely on speed and numbers. Panzer 2,
a stop gap measure that became the
backbone of the early Blitz Creek. The
Panzer 2 featured a 20 mm autoc cannon
effective against light [music] vehicles
and infantry. Though outclassed later in
the war, its chassis proved invaluable
for self-propelled guns. Panzer 35t
seized after the annexation of
Czechoslovakia, this Scod built tank was
known for its highquality construction
and pneumatic transmission. It served
distinctly in the early campaigns,
identifiable by the gap behind its bogey
wheels. Panzer 38T, considered one of
the best light tanks of the early war.
This checkdesigned vehicle was [music]
reliable and packed a punch with its
37mm gun. Its robust chassis later
became the foundation for the famous
Hetszer tank destroyer.
Panzer the 3 designed as [music]
Germany's primary tank fighter. The
Panzer 3 utilized a three-man turret for
superior tactical efficiency. While its
gun eventually [music] struggled against
Soviet armor, it set the standard for
medium tank crew layouts.
Panzer 4, the true workhorse of the
Vermach, the Panzer 4 was the only
German tank to remain in production
throughout the entire war. Upged and up
armored repeatedly, it served [music] on
every front to Russia.
Panzer valve Panther built in response
to the Soviet T-34. The Panther combined
slope to armor, mobility, and a high
velocity 75mm gun. Despite early
mechanical teething issues, it is widely
regarded as one of the best medium tanks
of World War II. Panzer 6 and Tiger Y, a
legend [music] of heavy armor, the Tiger
1 struck fear into Allied crews with its
thick, boxy protection and lethal 88mm
gun. Though slow and maintenanceheavy,
it could dominate the battlefield from
long range. Panzer [music] 6 Tiger 2
King Tiger. The King Tiger was a massive
70 ton beast, combining the thick armor
of a heavy tank with the sloped design
of the Panther. While nearly impervious
to enemy fire from the front, its weight
destroyed bridges and strained its own engine.
engine.
Next on the list is tank destroyers and
assault guns. Stui3. By removing the
turret from the Panzer 3 chassis,
Germany created the Stooo 3, a
lowprofile assault gun. It became the
most produced German armored vehicle of
the war, excelling as an ambush predator.
predator.
Yagpanzer [music]
38T Hetszer, small, angular, and
difficult to spot, [music] the Hetszer
was a cost-effective tank destroyer
built on the reliable Czech 38T chassis.
Its sloped armor and remotec controlled
machine gun made it a nasty surprise for
advancing Allied troops. Jaged Panzer
[music] 4, known as Gderian's Duck due
to its noseheavy wobble, this lowprofile
tank hunter carried the powerful
long-barreled 75mm gun. It was a deadly
defensive weapon capable of engaging
enemy tanks while remaining hidden.
Martyr 2. As German tanks faced [music]
tougher Soviet armor, the Martyr 2 was
created by mounting a heavy anti-tank
gun onto an obsolete Panzer 2 chassis.
It was an open topped stop gap solution
[music] that provided desperate
firepower. Martyr 3 utilizing the Czech
38T chassis. The Martyr 3 mounted
captured Soviet guns or German PK40s to
fight on the Eastern Front. While its
crew was exposed to the elements, its
gun could knock out most Allied tanks.
Nasshorn, named the Rhinoceros. [music]
This vehicle was essentially a long 88
mm gun mounted on a light chassis. It
possessed almost no armor protection,
relying entirely on its ability to snipe
enemy tanks from extreme [music]
distances. Jag Panther, often cited as
the best tank destroyer of the war, the
Yag [music] Panther married the
excellent Panther chassis with the
lethal 88 mm gun. It offered a perfect
balance of speed, armor protection, and firepower.
