M36 Jackson vs Jagdtiger | January 1945 | Tank Duel

On the 31 December 1944, the German Army launched Operation Nordwind, a large-scale counter-offensive into North-Eastern France. As their offensive began to stall, the Germans deployed their latest tank onto the battlefield - the Jagdtiger. Weighing upto 70tonnes, and fielding a 128mm main gun, the first Jagdtigers went into action on the 9 January 1945.

The other 2 tank commanders must’ve shit their pants seeing one of their own destroyed by the allies. And also probably kept them aware of the downsides of their own tank as well

Tank destroyer vs. Tank destroyers/ Assault guns

[@hotmechanic222]

Another great video, keep up the good work!!

Being under direct fire I would assume is the most terrifying thing to endure but there's just something particularly horrifying about being in a giant armored box but being obliterated by high velocity death.

My Dad's unit (605 TD) didn't reach the continent until Feb. '45, and they used 3-inch towed guns instead of M-36. He was "lucky" if you can call it that, that he got there when he did. He still saw enough to never talk about the war.

3 officers in Creighton Abrams' Bn. stated they encountered a platoon of 4 Jagdtigers on 26 Dec. South of Assenois on the way to Bastogne.

[@lyndoncmp5751]

According to German records, and the combat diary of Schwere Panzerjager Abteilung 653 no Jagdtigers were employed in the Ardennes. They tried to get there but bombed out railways caused them to be redeployed to Nordwind instead.
They were misidentified Jagdpanthers at Assenois.

While very cool on paper, these giant tanks were very clumsy and unreliable. Definitely wouldn’t want to crew one of these “wonder” weapons. In fact I don’t think I’d want to be a tanker at all…

[@readhistory2023]

Compared to pilots, infantry, and etc tankers had one of the highest survival rates of the war. Roughly 8% of tankers died, 18% of riflemen died and at one point the US bomber crews were seeing 100% casualty rates. REMFs had the highest survival rates since the only thing they had to worry about was a papercut.

Since you covered the 100th ID, you should do a video on their battle at Bitche....hence their nickname, Sons of Bicthe

Thanks mate.

Isn't Nancy pronounced "noncy"? I only learnt that the hard way when I used the city as a base for some travels in the area.

Jagdtiger: Heavier with A More Powerful Gun in A FIXED Turret
M-36: More Mobile with A Gun in A Rotating Turret.

[@jesusislord-ht1nj]

hardly a duel more like the jagdtiger got sniped

[@anthonynicholich9654]

I can only imagine if it happened the other way! 88 cannon sliceing through M36 coming in from one side and out the the other?

[@GenghisVern]

Side armor? What was the range and where were they facing?

[@irrelevant9023]

That jagdtiger was destroyed by a bazooka

[@MegaBloggs1]

INTERESTING that the jadgtiger turret couldnt rotate and yet it was penetrable by a 76mm round and a bazooka round at close range-in fact one jagdtiger was destroyed by the 1st us army by bazooka at Aachen in a side turret hit and was highly vulnerable to sympathetic ammunition explosions-real design errors
