The Sherman Firefly - The British Tiger Killer
During the Second World War, the British in particular had a real problem building tanks.
They found a way to combat Heavy German Tanks such as the Panther and Tiger by upgunning a regular Sherman with a 17 Pounder anti tank gun.
It became known as the now legendary Sherman Firefly.

His name was Tibor “Ted” Ru...

British 17 pounder doesn’t get the love it should. It was on par with the 88
Cracking episode mate!
Thanks very much buddy! Appreciate that!
Until the Comet, we just couldn't get the balance of armour, firepower and speed.
The comet was a great tank, sadly for many tank crews it came too late in the war to make a real difference. It was a very effective tiger killer however!
The comet was a beautiful tank
Not forgetting the centurion either
Then Hitler and his SS goons broke him out
What a guy
If hitler was fighting against Bolshevik communism and he didn't start the war and he offered peace 4/5 times and the other side were richer, how does Hitler become the bad guy?
You crash a plane, get out, smoke a cig and say “302” … now that’s an airman
Who said the Germans don't have a sense of humour!
Must of been his time spent with the RAF!
I think Sutherland just ad-libbed most of his lines!
It was a shame it failed, but the real shame was the pre-war attempts that failed.
It really was. Sadly the war dragged on.
a 7:22 son Kiefer Sutherland takes after his father God bless you
The USA really make the best film's and Kelly's heroes was one of the them. RIP woof woof
People don't know that this movie was based, roughly, on true events. With all the movies and TV series about WW2 I don't know why nobody does a movie or something about the real stories behind this.
I had no idea he passed. 😢
I read a really good book about this battle called A Fine Night For Tanks.
I shall have to keep an eye out for that!
Tanks for that!
@@scallamander4899 😆 🤣
Have a little faith baby
Your full video on this is great.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it
Australian ?
He was from New Zealand!
Imagine he was your neighbour you'd never no
Despite the film Oppenheimer erasing them out of it, the project would not have happened when it did without British scientists.
Oddball, a hippy 20 years before hippies.
A terrific actor, strange but terrific
Insane bravery.
Thank you for continuing to bring these unknown stories.
@@thomashynd2291 thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed.

Does anyone notice the number on the Tiger tank? Number 132! The Tank Museum has the only running Tiger tank in the world, its number is 131!
Has a killer soundtrack thanks to war thunder
Even as an American I watch the World Cup, it’s a magnificent event
The most popular sporting competition in the world
D u A
In the Soviet Union summer 1943, tanks line up in thousands as far as the eye can see, ready for the onslaught, ready for the strike, waiting for the Axis to march into the trap, mines are placed in darkness, in the cover of the night, waiting to be triggered when the time is right, imminent invasion imminent attack, once the battles started theres no turning back. -Sabaton "Panzerkampf"
@@Goondiver great band
The Greatest war movie ever, Thanks to Donald ! Cult Film !!! RIP
Definitely! A real corker
Often thought as the largest battle of all time, but it’s believed to be the battle of brody in 1941
I've heard that.
@@thomashynd2291 the difference was that during 1941 the tanks weren’t really tanks
Translation plis.
He should have had a bar or two added to his Medal of Honour for his earlier acts of unrecognized/unrewarded bravery ( I suppose his anti-Semite Sergeant "boss" ended his tour with just an " honourable discharge " , that's if he even survived the ( Korean ) war
He absolutely should have, it’s a shame. I couldn’t find much more about the Sgt, but I’m continuing to dig
Thank you for bringing stories that maybe aren’t as well known to the public. I’ve never heard of Tibor, but I’m happy to now
Can’t get past the noise
Respect
Quite the life he led. An example of how well an immigrant can do d
The horrors that man witnessed are probably unspeakable. A true American hero
Shame about the audio, but once you get past the first 8 minutes or so it levels out, a really interesting chat about a man I have never heard of. It begs the question as to how many others like him existed without being documented
I tred. Really. But that audio is so poor i couldn't get through it.
Evil dies and evil replaces.
Great interview. Pity about the interference.
I’m unsure what’s happened really. It wasn’t there during recording, I’ll have to play around with the settings in future. My apologies!
There’s some disturbance, but nevertheless great story. I’ll add the book to my wishlist.
North Korea is the world’s weirdest place
They’re all evil
history's greatest tank commander! woof woof
I put DS down there with Jane Fonda , matter of fact he went with her to vietnam on the " FTA " Tour , thats Fuck the Army Donald Sutherland , hates America , hates the Army , loves communism
