4:52 If you have the opportunity to hide food under a German tank, couldn't you just place a bomb there?
They weren't hiding food under german tanks in battles. They were doing it during the training, so in battle the dogs would run under the tanks only expecting to find food there.
I am more than happy to know some dogs came back and exploded their handlers
@@MarvinStoker the dogs will die either way but its better they take Germans with them
@@TheUnderminer840 idk the soviets weren’t much better than the Germans
@@henrymoore9846Of course but during WW2 I would rather have Nazis die then Soviets.
I'm looking at the thumbnail and thinking to myself: "They really had Axel from Twisted Metal during WW2?" LOL
Twisted Metal. Good Times, good times..
Ahhhh those good old days.. Twisted Metal 2 in PS1
80’s babies know wuz up
Anyone played the PS3 version?
Ahhhhh I'm dead🤣🤣💀
The curved barrel thing reminds me of an Italian Joke book that had a pistol with a curved barrel pointing back at the user called ITALIAN SUICIDE PISTOL.
It’s a Pretty Smart Idea. There was 3 Different angles too. Also if you look them up you’ll see that in the curve of the barrel it had a Polished Metal section that could be used like a mirror to help see them. They was originally developed for tank crews and armored personnel carriers. So that they could shot infantry troops that would sneak up on the outside of the tanks to put sticky bombs and other weapons
The curved barrel is something out of Tom and jerry
@@kindaconfused3237 which is probrably where they got the idea from
Why not just put a pistol at a 90° angle and a mirror on the end of a rifle with a string on the trigger?
Its not a bad concept. Just needs a little more design.
@@siggyretburns7523 pretty sure that isant the best design either but its probrably better than what they had
Germans
Big tanks:Maus,Ratte(Mouse,Rat)
Small mine:Goliath
my brain doesn't help by making me remember Daebom's drawings
Its psychological warfare like when the brits first named tanks (cause a water tank doesnt seem to dangerous) its just to confuse the enemy
@@nome_3999 ah yes, fellow cultured man
RCXD moment
😂😂
You know, this just tells me that if you stripped away all the terror and horror of WW2, it was really just a long string of pranks.

There hasn't been a WW3

Hes gonna talk about how to survive fighting pikachu
@@Lize_2134 Actually it only stays alive for about twenty seconds. But it can stay alive for five minutes in extreme cases.
So they hid food under German tanks for the dog mines. So my question is, why not just put explosives under the tanks instead of dog food?
That's how they TRAINED the dogs.
Appearantly their is a tank improvised by the Yugoslavs that looks like a used ashbin
Whaaa?
Are you talking about
There were also polish grenades made out of spray cans or literall bags filled with explosives from disarmed artillery shells
We appreciate that this channel always brings such interesting facts to us
But someone already commented that wahhhh
Nooo why you do that your brother and I don’t think I will be able with him to you get the park
Plus straight to the fact unlike other channels
@@99Malinga I do wish they did a little more research for some of the topics, they have in the past bell less than accurate which isn’t the worse offense
@@99Malinga Even when the facts are entirely wrong? Doesn't it seems just a little off the Russians had time to hide dog food on German tanks, but not place an explosive charge?
1:16 key part? Thats wrong. Kamikaze were the last resort techniqe, executed by forcing young boys on the planes and making them crash, for abandoning the mission there was a death sentence.
Not to mention how well known this is
Young boys?!
Yea I'd just try to escape into another country
@@ArchibaldBunker3452 kamikaze were often kids i've read records aboud 12y old boys. They just had less value for the war machine.
"War's tragedy is that it uses man's best to do man's worst." - Harry Emerson Fosdick
I totally could have gone my entire life without hearing about kamikaze dogs.
Genius
Same, I love dogs bro
Classic Russia, they are true animals
*Think this is strange? Wait till The Infographics Show next video shows "The Strangest Weapons To Be Used For World War III!"*
Y’know I think the soviets also tried to train the mined dogs, but they used Soviet tanks to train them. When the dogs were sent into battle, instead of running under German tanks, they ran under the Russian ones.
The Goliath actually was later reverted to wired versions which could be deployed from forward bunkers that were connected to rear bunkers but camouflaged since they were not reinforced bunkers like their home deployment bunkers. These wired versions were more reliable but limited in range thus the need for forward camouflaged release points.
couldn't the enemy just cut the wires rendering the mine useless?
@@louiewaddington yeah...but it was very unique for the time and the first time the allies saw them was on D day on the beaches. Initially the allied soldiers just sort of gawker at them. They looked like tiny tanks with wires running behind them. They were able to do some damage at first despite being wired and vulnerable. Once the allied troopers realized these were mines they quickly adapted and starting taking out the bunkers that the wires stretched back too. At this point once the Goliath handlers knew the game was up they would wire their forward bunkers to blow and hustle back to their main bunkers and engage the attackers normally.
Later in the war when the allies started seeing these things again in the Ardennes they immediately took them out. So it was a fun idea and it could work as planned, but once used they lost the element of surprise which was its only advantage.
I heard that the boom of the Gustav cannon's fire was so loud that soldiers had to be like 2 miles back or else their eardrums would like explode.
Can’t be true how would you reload lol
@@jjcoola998 presumably they would all come back from the safe distance. I guess they felt the destructive power was worth the slow firing rate. Or maybe it had more than 1 shot per load.
@@jjcoola998 It fired one round every 2 hours, plenty of time to regroup, reload, and then hide at a safe distance
Im a nerd for ww2. Already knew all of these
The one time i respect a nerd
*Salute*
Correction : i think the MXY-7 Yokosuka “Ohka” wasnt really intended to be a plane, but instead a flying bomb.
Another day, another video Mr Infographics blesses us with
hey i think u guys forgot one its called the belt its used by hispanic moms and its still used daily
No
Also Eastern European moms lol
I remember the curved barrel from Mythbusters. Even the complete turnaround could be deadly.
America: can we use bats to destroy Japan?
China: what about the world?
wow this is underrated😂
Originally, the railgun was called "Schwerer Gustav" (heavy Gustav) and was intended for use at the eastern front as well. There was also a "lighter" version called "Dicke Bertha" ("Thick Bertha" or "fat bertha")
great naming sense they had
Wasnt the name dora?
@@daanvos194yes, "Schwerer Gustav" was the official name under wich Krupp produced it (three units were ordered btw). Dora was kind of a nickname from the soldiers who operated him.
@NoodleSoup no, "dicke bertha" was german
I’ve actually heard of the curved rifle before. I don’t remember where, but I definitely remember it being known for exploding.
Nothing more dangerous than an angry mom's slipper
@Omnipotent sans hahahaa 😂 that one too indeed
@Omnipotent sans yeah true 😂😂
I've seen a Goliath IRL, at Armémuseum in Stockholm. They're actually really big, but you understand that they're not that usefull, as they're really big.
I thought that was spidey's greatest and most evil foe, Big Wheel.
In z nation is a big circular thing that can spin the greatest enemies of the zombies
The weapons of this warfare are not flesh and blood. But powers and principalities.
One major problem with the dog mines was that, because they were trained with Russian tanks, the German ones were unfamiliar. As a result, in combat the dogs would run under the familiar Soviet tanks, with obvious results!
I learned the first one from TikTok. I later deleted it later to prevent myself from getting idiocy. Cool vid tho
The weapon in WW2 I found crazy is a 1897m shotgun with a bayonet cuz it just seems to be overkill to me xD
Sounds like a cod waw attachment
@@thisemptyworm4677 it actually was
Imagine a 12 gauge being shot at ur face then a knife stabs ur stomach
A fun fact about the 1897 is that you could slam-fire it. Garand Thumb made a good vid on the 1897.
Yeah get shot dead with a shotgun and than your corpse gets stabbed several times the japanase would love it cause they do exactly the same they shoot you and than stab you
Russian soldier: * Sends kamikaze dog *
The dog: * comes back *
Also the dog: Right back at ya, buckaroo!
It's middle of the night and I'm watching this.It's a good night
with an ENVG-B you can shoot around corners
Back to the old art style. I love it.
I love how bombs are deadly
Correction The Russians trained the dogs to think food is under the tank they didnt sneak upon enemy tanks thats so dumb nobody would sneak up on a tank in a warzone but anyways after theyre trained before the battle theyll starve them for a few days then release them and send them out to the battlefield where tanks are besides that everything else was correct where they get spooked etc
The soldier on the thumbnail is like:
NIGERUNDAYO, FRANZ!!!
Hey everybody! Hope your all having a great day. Always a good day when learning WW2 facts haha
The great pandjandrum is probably one of the funniest weapons seen in concept from world war 2. It is an unstoppable wheel of doom and was so unpredictable that it would attack the enemy and it’s opponents. I really wish I could’ve seen it in action but alas, not every invention makes it to the spotlight.
If you you search around å bit you can find old weapon test videos with the panjandrum.
I've heard of most of these weird weapons but not all of them. So thanks for informing me of those that I didn't know about.
Love this! Always love getting info on our past wars that I havent heard!
Although I don't believe a general would be too disturbed by his car blowing up, he's got the salary to get a new one with no sweat. 🤣
Nokia: im gonna end this man's whole career
The Goliath Tracked Mine's description just reminded me of the modern roomba with a gun taped to it
I wanted to see if the stunk bomb even worked
Edit: where did the "channel guidelines" come from, it was not on the videos yesterday
I think it's a new feature
I started to cry when you talked about the dogs
5:20
actually, i one heard a rumor that they trained the dogs using RUSSIAN tanks, which went about as well as you would expect.
This is what I heard from my old Russian neighbor back in the nineties
Next video idea: You vs Dr. Phil.
I have been watching your videos for years and I love it.
I'm glad you guys mentioned Who Me and The Great Panjandrum, however I'm a bit puzzled as to why Project Pigeon wasn't on here. It was an anti-ship glider bomb guided by pigeons.
I feel bad for the dogs they did nothing and Russian is like “let’s have ground subside bombers”
Like if your a dog lover
I’m a dog lover, and I do not approve, so I agree with you
i love cat but but that should be illegal
The fact the dogs with bombs would run towards their handlers is really funny to me, and they deserved that
Yeah the fact that they're using animals as weapons is disgusting
Ww2 is pretty much putting anything dangerous in mind happen
Imagine being a german with the curved barrel but the enemy goes in front of you

2:44 i saw this weapon in avatar kora
Thank you infographics channel I appreciate your content I started watching your guys channel a month ago and now I'm a lifelong fan keep up the good videos
The LandMines were just roombas back then, you pull the pin then it cleans anything in a 50 mile radius
this feels like watching one of those weird ww2 documentaries at 3am
The panjandrum looks like something i would make in bad piggies
Awwww.... the doggos tho... that was sooo vicious
hello just watched and only 2 of these weapons i have heard of but its really awesome to see ones i have not heard of
The great panjandrum was featured in a classic British Comedy called dad’s army. When the home guard unit was sent to provide security for it when it was being tested as a highly secret weapon.
We need more of these.
Never heard about the dead rats or rotating wheel. Cool video!
The last one was actually designed in 1940, only they had enough money to build it in 1945
Shockingly, I actually knew about the pigeon bomb. Think I saw it on the History Channel, all I know is I remember hearing about it.
A full scale working mock up Panjandrum was made for the 1970's BBC TV WW2 comedy show "Dad's Army", for an episode where the hapless home guard platoon has to deal with one that has escaped a firing range, running amok in the surrounding countryside.
2:33 ma bois really used the bfg 10000
using a dog as a boom is the most meanest thing ever
but war is war i guess
I've heard of the Gustav, Goliath track mine and The Great Panjandrum in this video.
I kinda miss the German Kugelpanzer in this video.
I'm looking forward to see weirder weapons this ww3.
Dogs in real life when someone punched their owner:Woof! Woof!
Dogs in minecraft when someone punched their owner:Peace was never an answer
I know my comment is trash
I've heard of the gustav rail cannon
That rolling thing in the thumbnail reminded of the that rolling tank from the battle of geonosis from star wars
For the dog mines, I read that they actually taught the dogs that there was food under the tanks, and then they released them onto the battlefield with the explosives, and the dogs, remembering that food was under the tanks, would run over, before the explosives detonated.
:’(
I read that they trained them on Russian tanks so when they released them sometimes they'd run back to there own tanks think the foods there, savage
Well yeah I theory but anyone who’s owned a dog will tell you that’s not gonna happen every time
If bats were used as bombs

Seems legit

People in WW2: thumbnail of this video

Me a Company of Heroes Player : You are right
What was with ww2 and using animals as weapons?
Dogs in russia: *Exists*
Russia: *I Can Turn you into a Super Star*
The thumbnail can't stop laughing 🤣
Hello infographics lovely video.
I love naruto park in park and I will park on my car in the car and then I will go back there to see the house 🏠 will have the time and I’m going to go eat and eat dinner
Krummlauf wasn't a waste although we could have used hardest substance such as diamond on the bending corner where the bullet could reflect
Diamond would shatter
@@furrytimelord yah because bullet moves in such speed, maybe there will be a chance the diamond mai survive but since the krummlauf is a solid metal it may make mischief
That dog bomb is heart Troubling😭
Can you imagine being so evil that you come up with the idea of suicide dogs?
The Krummlauf StG 44s were briefly issued to tank crews as a proximity defence against infantry. Here a shrapneling bullet would work better for the crew that didn't have to stick their head out of a well armoured tank to blindfire at combatants.
the rail cannon is literally just me to minecraft villagers
You see those soldiers from Germany? They've got curved barrels.. Curved barrels..
If they were able to hide food under the tank what was the point of sending the dog in with a bomb? Why not just hide the bomb under the tank?
Heard of Bat Bomb for use against Japan almost 10 years ago on a cable series called DARK MATTERS.
NOOOO NOT THE DOGGOS
Thumbnail got me wonderin about the killer wheels
Dear Infographics show,
Your show rocks,
Would you consider doing an episode on the presidents and what they do after their presidency and retirement? Is there a different trend change century to century? 🤔 Thanks!
