Archer 17pdr at AusArmourFest 2024. British SPG.
As the planned invasion of Normandy slated for mid-1944 approached British armoured and anti-tank units became concerned about the capability of their main guns to engage the increasingly heavy German tanks being employed in North Africa and on the Eastern Front. Vehicles such as the Tiger I and Panther were armoured more heavily than it was thought the standard anti-tank armaments on the British tanks could routinely cope with. These included the 6pdr (57mm), 75mm M3 of the Shermans that made up many British tank units, and the QF 75mm of the Cromwell and Churchill. The replacement anti-tank gun for the 6pdr had been in development since Nov-1940, resulting in the QF 17pdr (76.2mm) anti-...

StuG III Ausf.F at AusArmourFest 2024. German SPG.
Просмотров 1 тыс.21 час назад
The German Army was mostly Infantry formations moving on foot and with horses, trucks, and half-tracks for logistics. During the Invasion of France, only 10% of German Divisions were mobile Panzer units with tanks and mounted infantry. Hence regular Infantry units needed fire support that could keep up. In 1935 General Erich von Manstein proposed to the German Army Chief of the General Staff th...

In early 2023 I made a video of the Churchill Crocodile flame tank that’s at the Australian Army Tank Museum, so take a look at that if you’re interested. This is a slightly early variant that was similarly bought to Australia late in WWII, initially for trails to assess suitability for use in the tropics. In the end 51 Churchills were brought to Australia but they never saw combat. British Tan...

When developing armoured doctrine in the 1930’s the Germany Army identified the need for fast moving Panzer units to contain their own organic fire support capability to help neutralise fixed emplacements and heavily dug in infantry. The types of anti-tank guns that would be carried by most vehicles in an armour unit would be selected based on their ability to fire armour piercing rounds that a...

When Germany launched the invasion of Russia at the end of June 1941, by some estimates the Soviets had about 24,000 tanks in their inventory. Way less than half were ever truly deployable and many were obsolescent. High speed tanks like the BT-5 and BT-7, and the slower T26 were available in their tens of thousands, but were generally very lightly armoured (maximum 13-15mm of steel) and were v...

Heavy tank design concepts were progressed by German Army Weapons Agency (Heereswaffenamt) starting from 1937 but deprioritized for production in favour of medium tank ramp up. Heavy tank development gained new urgency in May 1940 after the experience in France highlighted inability of 3.7cm KwK-36 L/45 to deal with heavier tanks like the Char B1 Bis. A single French tank in the Ardennes destro...

Prior to WW2, German Tank leader Heinz Guderian had predicted the need for highly mobile self-propelled anti-tank vehicles, later known as Panzerjäger (tank hunters), within the German order of Battle. The towed-type of anti-tank gun developed for use in the Anti-Tank Companies within Panzer Divisions would be outpaced by fast moving Panzer Companies, and would be too slow to effectively respon...

    Amazing vehicle. This one doesn't have those horizontal mesh skirts over the fenders to guard against anti-tank grenades. Do you know if those mesh covers were strong enough to hold a person's weight? Could the crew stand and walk over them, like a scaffolding?

    • @salameragazzo
      @salameragazzo 20 дней назад

      I expect they would be strong enough to walk on. The wire mesh on the skirts is quite heavy gauge and the supporting frames are also quite substantial.

      The StuH 42 mounted a variant of the 10.5 cm leFH 18 howitzer, which was modified to be electrically fired and fitted with a muzzle brake in this vehicle. However the muzzle brake was often omitted due to the scarcity of resources later in the war.
