Kate Adie may not be a tank historian but she is a journalist with a tremendous amount of experience delivering reports via media, I applaud her skill and excellent presentation in this new research.
I can remember when I was a little kid, having a match box sized toy Tiger tank with 131 on it. Thought it was just a random number.
The balls of these lads fighting tiger tanks in the open desert with only infantry weapons
I'm a Vet and one thing I've noticed. You can have multiple soldiers in the same battle who when asked later to describe the battle will give you multiple different stories.
Now this is the stuff the history channel SHOULD be showing!
Who’s here cuz of simple history
Some of these vehicles have a more interesting history than my whole family. Love this stuff - the details!
As hard as I try, I can't imagine crawling on my hands and knees, lugging a PIAT launcher, toward anything as scary as a Tiger 1. He might've bounced it, but he still earns a consolation prize for 'Huge Iron Balls'.
Glad you had Kate Adie on to narrate this most interesting detective story. She did sterling work as a reporter and showed bravery and strength of character on several occasions on the front line. Well done, The Tank Museum.
My dear old Dad was a pilot for the RCAF in WWII in India flying over the Himalayan Mountains to supply the Chinese. The only thing he would tell me " some of our boys never came back ". That was his entire history of the war. I miss him dearly to this day.
I well remember in the early 1950's visiting the Senelager Camp, Germany tank dump of German tanks and was quite amazed at the size of some of the tanks and width of tracks. They seemed enormous compared with ours. At that time we had Comets, Cromwells and Centurians. As an infantryman at the time we were involved with all but to see a Comet and Cromwell at speed on a German road was something to behold!
Kate Adie + tankmuseum = brilliant. Best video you have ever made. More, please.
Striking, what a massive beast Tiger 131 really is.
This is how history works! As new information is discovered the historical event is placed into a more accurate context. This takes nothing away from the participants, it simply illustrates the need for historians to corroborate their memories in order to tell the most accurate history of the events being discussed. This is a fantastic addition to the already legendary story of Tiger 131. Well done to all involved! Well done indeed!
The men that abandoned Tiger 131 were not shot or else the Tank Museum had interviewed imposters. Like he says though, an old soldier's memory is not always something that can be taken at face value and in the heat of battle I'm sure he could have mistaken that they had been shot. Thank you for this!
Tiger 131 is a thing of beauty to see in real life, but it is a great honor to see it on the move.
An amazing story of Men cut from a differnet cloth! My grandad would have been in the area during this time as well, I only wish he was still here to ask about it.
And here's me thinking Oddball bought it from the Germans at the end of Kelly's Hero's.
“A lucky shot?! Noo, that was a calculated shot that came in from miles away.” -Squire
It's true that with the fog of war and the chaos, fear and many years old soldier's memories can't always be taken at face value, but what men they were !
