They are probably just targeting your videos, because "things", you know.
Panzer insight got some video removed just because there was German voiceover in the video.
(S)election season approaching, algorithmic cen---ship intensifies.
The shadow-banners are very sensitive you know.
Its leftwing madness thats running the world now. No one can speak positively towards Germany or its banned. ( Just like my last reply) 🤷🏼
Beautiful beginning theme music- and what footage!
Unbelievable realism and precision!
Ps
Love and Congratulations on your fantastic product!
Your documentaries are spot on. Thank you for all you do to bring them to us.
The footage and photographs in these documentaries are awesome!
I'm a 41 year old American with German and Irish heritage. I've always had a weird interest in WW2 and at a family reunion when I was 25 my great grandpa gave me a book "Tiger ace" and said this was your great uncle. I was shocked because it was about Michael Wittmann someone I was familiar with and share a variation of the same last name. Then showed me paperwork from Ellis Island in the 30s when my family came and it was spelt like Wittmann. I know way too much about WW2 to even consider thinking he fought for a good or decent cause but it's interesting that my great uncle is ARGUABLY the greatest tank commander in history!
Even crazier is my Irish decendants from my mom's side were in France as American allys and within 40 miles of gim when he was finally killed in France. 30 years later those 2 families married. Truly insane how a word war affects everyone and make a gigantic earth pretty small
If you don’t think the crusade in the East was a good cause then you been fooled by propaganda.
How many millions did the Soviets murder during times of peace? How many millions were starved, arrested, shot, tortured and worked to death by the millions?
At least Germanys so-called crimes were committed during times of war. We can’t say that for the Soviets
When Hitler’s victims numbered in the hundreds Soviet crimes numbered in the millions! 😡
And let’s not forget, other than capitalist joos like Armand Hammer, our relationship with the Soviets was based out of convenience and geography nothing more. A bridge too far. A pragmatic approach in order to win the war.
The reason why I remind you this is because the enemy of our enemy is our friend thus the Soviet Union becoming our ally.
But last I checked in 1946 the enemy of my enemy became our friends and on that note, Germany has been an Allie ever since. 😉
It was Hitler who first waged war against communism and we continued that struggle all the way up to 1989.
So I take Patton’s position, “We fought the wrong enemy”
Let’s not forget, liberal capitalists funded the Bolsheviks as a revolutionary means in order to overthrow the old order. Fascism was a desperate attempt to roll back these revolutionary Bolshevik forces who were funded by capitalists.
That’s a fact.
So I dont hold it against you for thinking Germany was the ultimate evil. Besides, Hitler was a douche bag anyways but… he did try to slay the beast in the East
Nothing is as it seems!
I'll naturally get downvoted to oblivion here... But have you seen "Europa The Last Battle?" I experienced extreme cognitive dissonance when I watched it. Came upon it via a Christopher Langan endorsement - Langan is widely considered the smartest man alive with a ~200 IQ.
@@domepuncherwhy would you be downvoted here brother?✊🏻
@domepuncher not familiar with it. I'm assuming it's something with an alternate take on WW2?
@@Cyd99 The mind-hive would consider it "revisionist" history. I'm surprised it even let me post that comment. I've heard the tech overlords are even [redacting] it here too
Now, back in 1943 an acquaintance was a child, age 6 or so, growing up in a Croatian village. One day German soldiers came, stayed in the village houses, and in the evening shared their meat cans with the locals. However, children could not digest a fat-rich food and vomited.
Both soldiers and troop "doctor" were obviously very upset, gave children some powder and till the next morning all was fine. A detail: this acquaintance remembers that the soldiers had "small flowers all over their clothing". That's how she saw the camouflage patterns.
Unfortunately, there is a story from 1944, with one detachment of some SS unit, allegedly Frundsberg, extinguishing a village in northern Croatia, killing 36-42 women, children and old people.
Were they attacked from the direction of that village, were the partisans Croats or Italian communists, remains unanswered. Were these SS Germans or even Serbs(?) serving in SS, remains also unanswered.
😂😂😂😂
It was written as Soviet war law and tactics in order for Russians to dress up as SS soldiers to do these things to villages to propagandize of this. They would often leave one person or a handful to tell the story and to get the population to hate and despise the Germans and SS
@@raks1111 u mad? Rhetoric question. You obviously are.
These were definitly partisans my grandpa still remembers german soldier that were in his village they were all kind, his village was extremely anti communist which means that in this village commies were the target and also Frundsberg was german division not serbian
@@dominikbt7891 There’s no way a child was a partisan, Dirwringer use to use that as an excuse before banging a whole kindergarten school with his butt stock. The SS and Soviets were both animals that deserved each other, commie and fashists are all the same to me 🇺🇸.
Keeping history alive.
Another banging Documentary
Awesome content
Well done, contains many clips I have not seen before.
The German Radio chat ❤😎💪🏻
Excellent historical footage and content as usual..Greetings from Singapore..🙏
At last a good balanced video. Well done.
After Whittmans battle there were a couple cases the next day of British tank crews abandoning their tanks without firing a shot.
Tiger phobia was very real.
Quality as always, one of my favorite channels !
Awesome historical video! Well done sir!
His pride was his loyalty
Those who wore the double runes have gone down in history,for good or ill they will always be remembered.
Kurt knispel
Kurt wasn’t SS, he was Heer.
Incredible documentary!
I wore my 44 dot camo to work...
Pretty Based, if must I say
Truly epic, thank you for the presentation. So refreshing to hear the other sides fighting prowess.
"Our reputation precedes us as a wave of terror. Even old Genghis Khan would gladly have hired us as assistants."
- Waffen SS Colonel Joachim Peiper "The Blowtorch Battalion" Third Battle of Kharkov Russia March 1943
The Panzer Mark III 50mm was the primary German tank in numbers up into the Battle of Kursk July 1943. The Panther arrived but many broke down. They did kick Montgomery's a** on the open battlefield in any vehicle.
Appreciate you
Michael Wittman ‘The Black Prince’.
Amazing video
It was a great video and great pictures to love watching it
Keep it up 😅😮😊
Great channel, love it ❤️👍
This really is an awesome channel ! 👌🏻👍🏻
...criminally underrated, though.
Thank you so much 🤝
Great content. Thorough for just over an hour.
Fascinating footage and excellent, well researched narration.
Really enjoyed this i like the way you put this footage most of which ive seen before together.Heres to your next projects!Cheers! (subbed+shared) P-S ive just found and added x12 more of your videos to my Play list i hope they are as good as what ive just seen :)
This is one of the best and more informative videos Iv ever seen on this subject.
Good job 👍
Great documentary!
This is a great channel. Should be appreciated far more. Keep it up my friend. I've studied WW2 due many years. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I just subscribed.
Festung Europa… “Fortress Europe”. We lost the last world war, and most of our people don’t even know it.
So true and well said.
Thank you
your content is among the few where the pictures actually matching the narrativ.
your video is very good. im a history buff and love a good film, but you have created a great film. love to follow you and your films!
amazing
We were always out numbered,,, But gave there enemies a real fight
Great documentary and excellent footage of the events that unfolded. The Tiger tank was truly a menacing behemoth that just has a certain appeal to me out of all of the tanks that were a part of the war. The iconic silhouette of the 88 cannon and heavy armour just shows the level and skill of German engineering at that time.
Yesssss
Tigers to the left of them, Tigers to the right of them, volleyed and thundered!
The highest scoring tank ace was Kurt knipsal
Thanks!
Thank you so much :)
All in all, excellent content!
Remarkable.👍👍
Most a pity that you missed the battles of Totenkopf and Wiking around warsaw in summer and autumn 1944, were both divisions, alongside the divisions of the wehrmacht, achieved astonishing defensive victorys.
Based content as usual.
The great Germans were heroes.
The USSR would have collapsed without the Lend-Lease Act and help from Britain (intelligence).
Loss of food would have sealed the fate of the soviets (unless helped by foreign powers fighting for communism)
The soviets got enough food from the USA to feed its soldiers for the rest of the war,
12 million boots , 60 percent aluminum and steel, a lot of tin , 90 percent of railway equipment ( the soviets would never have been able to conduct offensives so fast and transfer their main armies to critical points , 300000 trucks were given , 65 percent of aviation fuel and much more apart from 15 percent tanks ,aircrafts
Soviet sympathizers say "only 15 per cent was given to USSR"
Right!!! I agree!!! Thank you so much and greetings from Germany!!
Next episode is a u Boats life at the see Those mans were in different level far above all
This is spectacular. Well done. Very well done.
That one dude was driving his tank down a cliff!
👍🏼🔥🔥
You found some New Material ; @ HAW , T Y . !
I love all the documentaries. I wish you could make a documentary about the 6th Armored Division, 68th Tank Battalion of the US Army. If you could find any details. That was where my grandfather served and would love to know more about them

Germany could not make Tiger Tanks fast enough to make a significant impact on the war.
❤
Where was the Luftwaffe with tank buster planes at Kursk?
YT censorship....
could you do a film about Hitlers first defaet, at Narvik in the april of 1940? Would be great, and you you could include the polish regiment of the podehale.
They always look so drippy
何時になったら、戦争がない世界になるんでしょうね！
Kurt knipsle was the highest tank ace 168 confirmed could be as high as 195
Thanks brother 👍🏼
Die englischen Panzersoldaten
waren geschockt als der erste

Helpful tip: "ba-o" means 'battle' for those struggling with limp British pronunciation.
SS? More like WW.
A lot of evil done by the waffen, alot, their history
I think you meant to say the blistering sands of North Africa
Some one who actually pronounce the JS 2 correctly and not IS 2 I thought I was the only one who pronounced it that way 👍
i think it has to do with how joseph stalin is spelled in russian.coud be wrong

Top video and without all of the usual Woke Boomer Regime propaganda to go along with it. Automatic like and subscribe. Thank you!
Truly an excellent video and a good piece of work. Up there with TIK and Mark Felton❤
Can anyone translate the Radio chatter?
Excellent historical military docu-video commentary of the German Waffen SS Units, Panzer and Tiger tanks on the battlefield.

It seems that German tank commanders take credit for enemy kills, but what about the gunners, the ones that actually perform the aiming and firing? Do they get credit for a kill?
The commanders have selected and trained the gunners. They did not get medals but they did get to meet and shake hand with the Fuhrer.
Yeah, they got some scraps. Promotion to Feldwebel, an iron cross 2nd class, 3 days leave etc.
A good tank commander wasn't worth much with a good gunner or driver.
I'm curious, did I miss the part where you spoke of the mass murders of villagers and prisoners of war? Or any of the atrocities the criminals committed?
It's normal for you Antigermans that you call for evil things they didn't!!! You cannot accept that anybody tell good things about the Germans!!! The most people are indoctrinated of antigerman lies!!!
About the truth about many allies war crimes you hear not much, because the narrative and lie about "liberation" need to cover!!! More Germans (10 millions) where murdered *after* the war!!! You don't want to hear about that, right??!!
You’ve been watching too much History Channel.
Right, you won't find that here on this channel which are glorifying these "war heroes"!
Nearly all SS were heavily indoctrinated, brutally trained and thought to have no mercy.
Some people can enjoy a documentary without being reminded who the bad guys were every 5 seconds, I guess you're not one of them
Kursk was the battle where the Russians out thought, out generalled, out maneuvered, out fought, and beat the Germans on every measure. There was intense bravery on both sides but this was a catastrophic loss for Germany.
Germany was way ahead of us in warfare
That is because Eisenhower was a dilettante.
VE Day was celebrated recently. This commemorates when Multiculturalism and Globalism defeated Nationalism.
And this is why we mustn’t be allowed to have our own Nations anymore. And why we must have open borders and endless migration from the Third World.
Oh by the way, congratulations to Sadiq Khan on his recent reelection as Mayor of Londonistan. I wonder what Rishi must be doing right now.
Oh well, I must be going now but Happy VE Day all.
You’re off piste here friend ..ignorance …the world has changed and migration is just an outcome of the west ( “first worlds”)years of abuse and exploitation of the third world .
You guys called it settling ( settler communities in Tanzania ,Kenya , South Africa, Sri Lanka , India…should I go on ?..still exist )…when it’s the other way round it’s called immigration …ridiculous
the world has changed and migration from the third world is a reflection the “ first worlds “ colonisation and exploitation of these nations ..by the way these third works nations are full of first world people …they call themselves settlers or expats …but they are simply immigrants as well…Kenya , tanzania ,south africa , Zimbabwe ,Sri Lanka ,India…full of “first world “..cough cough ..people ….your wrong and myopic
Ordinary Western Allied divisions were able to effectively deal with these "elite" German formations. These so-called elite divisions were only elite compared to other German divisions.
For example, an American infantry division with its usually attached tank battalion was superior to any Panzegrenadier division. In contrast, German infantry divisions were saddled with thousands of horses. Also, all infantry in an American amored division were mounted on halftracks. Only the Panzerlehr was equal to an American armored division in terms of mechanization.
Elite is not made from vehicle or horse it's made from the mind and heart!!!
Germany it most tehnic of everething 😂😂😂
What about a doco on Das Reich's self-described "blooding new troops" at Oradour-sur-glane? Standard tactics v Soviet civilians, one of the few times campaigning v unarmed civilians in the west. Killing how many unarmed civilians earns a Knights Cross?
That does not mean they were not elite troops. It’s like if a murderer got a headshot in somebody from 100 yards. Just because he is a felon does not mean he is not an excellent marksman, does it?
An unforgivable mistake when talking about the Wittman action at Villers Bocage where it refers to knocking out Churchill tanks. There were no Churchills involved in that action! They were Cromwell tanks in the action which are a completely different type of tank! They are cruisers as opposed to infantry support tanks like the Churchill which was a heavily armoured tank and much slower. The only other British tanks involved in the action were a few Sherman Fireflies which were either knocked out or captured and some Stuarts which were the recce troop. It's not as if it's an obscure action either as there have been numerous books written on the subject!
actually german soldiers are innocent.....they just follow the order given....pity on them
Cool learn something new
We won. The Germans lost
No secret here. Soviets won
narrative does not seem to have anything to do with the video,a basic knowledge of german armour and campaigns during ww11 would show how flawed this video is. sorry,but have been interested in this aspect of warfare for 50 years plus.you need to research a bit more before you have any credibility in this field.
What’s flawed? Please explain.
what are you on about?
@@historyatwarthat comment is out of line. Whatever tanks they were, Whitman didn’t care: they all went down in the dust.
