      The Wehrmacht were not the only ones who used captured tanks. Virtually every Axis country had at least one captured tank. Their intent was to take it apart and see what made it so special.
      In the case of the M4 Sherman, it was extremely versatile and somewhat inexpensive, making it perfect for invading a foreign country who's tanks were arguably much better, but could not be rolled off the assembly line as quickly.
      Although the Sherman suffered massive casualties against Germany, it was able to delay them long enough for reinforcements to arrive.

      If you note the date, this was near the official end of the Battle of the Bulge, the last great German push to reach Antwerp and continue the war. The Ardennes region up until Dec 16, 1944 was a rear area, where exhausted and depleted units were resting, replenishing, and taking in green new soldiers and tank crews. The veterans were dead or incapacitated, so in the absolute chaos of the sudden attack on a wide front, the cooks and clerks were fighting for their lives along with the infantry. Those of you who experienced Tet will know what it's like. The green crews in those Shermans made mistakes that they would not have made just a few days or weeks later. If the Germans didn't know in advance, they figured it out in a hurry. They almost broke out.

    There was a similar event earlier in the war in Italy. A German officer scouted a small Italian town with a handful of soldiers. He realized he stumbled upon a platoon of Sherman tanks and tried to destroy one. He missed with his Panzerfaust but quick thinking enabled him to catch the majority of the crews outside of their vehicles. He captured 5 Shermans (or 4 to be precise as 1 had managed to escape and ended in a ditch out of town)

    Back in the mid eighties I was a tanker in the Canadian army and went on leave in Germany to visit some German relatives. A cousin of my paternal grandmother had been a Fallschirmjaeger in the closing months of WW 2. He told me about a battle against Russians operating Sherman tanks. After a few of the tanks had been knocked out, the rest of the Russians fled, leaving perfectly functioning Shermans behind. To his surprise, some of the veteran members of his unit hopped into the Shermans and drove them to the rear, to be used in German service, much as was depicted here. He didn’t say how many tanks they captured, but it sounded like they were up against a company strength (a dozen tanks presumably) formation.

    My family has a strong German heritage. On my dad's side I have a great cousin that was in wehrmacht and my great grandfather was in the Marines and fought in pacific. His nickname was herman the german. At this time America had alot of people with German heritage. Alot of time there was respect and resolve.

    • @Tom_Cruise_Missile
      @Tom_Cruise_Missile Год назад +3

      America's German heritage has been forgotten, but it was incredibly important before WW1. German language only became unpopular then. German immigration of revolutionaries to the U.S. was encouraged by the German states after the failed revolutions of the mid 19th century because it was easier to send them here than deal with them in Germany.

    One thing i can respect about the Heer in WWII was their officer training encouraged officers to seize a moment on their own and take their own initiative.
    If you're the highest rank around you call the shots for the squad. Dont wait for a higher up take the moment before its lost. This perfectly illustrates that training.
