![History of The German Half-Tracks in WWII [ WWII DOCUMENTARY ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zOxUBGOngkY/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm amazed by how many of these I have never seen before.
they had so many of these,different types all over WWII;halftracks were obviously their thing.Good video,fanx.
Germany had a very diversified equipment in WW2. Its crazy to see so many rare and never before seen vehicles.
really interesting piece . great to see some of the more obscure vehicles that were thrown into combat across time
obscure? The 8,8 killed easily ervery excisting allied tank.
An interesting video with several models not included in Doyle, Chamberlain & Jentz's classic volume on German tanks and armoured vehicles of WW2. I was stunned for example, to see at the end the Mobile V2 launching base. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent and informative. For me the Sdk 25O and its variants are the best looking halftracks ever built.🇩🇪
I agree!
For me everything made in dueschland is great and amazing.
My favorite is still the kettenkrad. I'd love to have one, but they're very high maintenance.
I would love to have a Goliath, but without the explosive charge, ww2 segway
So is my wife high maintenance. But I would rather have a kattenkrad
You vould probsbly build a facsimile of one with a bit of effort.
Your vids are really great man, thanks for doing them.
Too many mistakes to make compliments. 3,7 cm Quadruple-AA never existed, a 2 cm Quadruple is shown.
this was one of the problems with German military vehicles there were way to many different types and nothing was standardized keeping parts and spares must have been a nightmare
You learned from it, today you do not do that anymore. For example, the US has built huge quantities of standard vehicles in various factories. In Germany, each factory developed and built its own types. These standards existed in Germany only with submarines and smaller naval ships, on which all shipyards built the same type, but not vehicles and aircraft, which was a big mistake.
@@roberth.goddardthefatherof6376 You need to remember where they were used. It makes a difference whether or not you make war at well-developed Western Europe or Russia. To cross only meadows and fields, it is enough. Another caliber is the Russian winter and especially the time when the soil thaws and you sinks there into the mud. This requires long chains that distribute the weight of the vehicle over a large area.
@@roberth.goddardthefatherof6376 But the US also had proper half tracks. Whether German developments such as the armored personnel carrier Sd.Kfz. It is not possible to prove that they contributed to US half tracks development in 1938, but the temporal context is striking. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3_Half-track
I had forgotten that they also had an enorm advantage in the desert war.
in addition the many loot vehicles of many armies... french, polish, dutch, british, russian and so on...
I don't want to help you out of your dream, but someone has to.
Almost all major parties during the war had that issue, Germany, America, England, Russia and even Japan to some degree.
Great episode - many of these vehicles never seen before 👌👌👏👏👏
Interresting collection of German halftracks. I loved Beethoven going "Tadadatahhh..." haha 😂
These Half-tracks did a great job,after the war.
I saw these until the early 70s doing all kinds of jobs.
I've see most of this before, so for me, the most interesting thing was the sight of a Kfz 13 Adler (at 10:27) in presumably 1945!
Excellent post and love your soundtrack as well..Please keep posting other nice vids...
I have subscribed..thank you for the uploads! 👌
Interesting, in the last picture at 17:07, the halftracks look like they have launchers like Katyushas -- rails instead of tubes.
Using rails meant they could use inferior munitions and rockets that would otherwise have been rejected. The Russians used them instead of tubes for the Katyushas mainly for this reason, although they were more inaccurate due to lack of spin a tube would have provided.
See Panzerwerfer Somua: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOMUA_MCG?wprov=sfla1
i having some copyright problems , thats why i keep re-uploading this video.
+jmantime if you search of great music to use in your videos the götterdämmerung from wagner is great ! Wagner is a good choice in general :D ... there is an old german saying that if you hear too much wagner you will go insanse because the music he made is so powerfull.
+jmantime i can suggest especialy the Nibelungenring
+jmantime i really like your videos and think there interesting but can you make a video about english jets of ww2? and maybe an updated version of japanese jets
warthunderplayer 48 ok
Thanks
Nice show. Great music. Love the 250.
i should make more video's on homemade / improvised weapons
+jmantime Yes!!!
+jmantime Please.
+jmantime YES YES YES .....PLEASE DO THAT !!!!!
Hey. I really like your Videos, but please let me or another german let you help with a good translation of the written german.
+jmantime Do you think you could ever do video at some point in the future on the very different and very numerous firearms whether experimental or not that the czechs developed. You have give the czechs credit for a having a very sophisticated and independent military industry considering they weren't really a big time player in europe. They were still coming out with tons of indigenous new tank designs even after joining the warsaw pact.
The halftrack at 4:24 has nothing to do with the halftrack on the following clip at 4:37, which in my mind is a kind of a french halftrack, adapted for the Wehrmacht.
The suspension of the Bremer Wagens looks very simmilair to that of the Carden Loyd Tankettes.
+Ruben de Jong wouldn't be surprised if the British copied them
yes, copy paste is seen everywhere and everytime in militairy history :)
always love German Halftracks
especially WW2 once
NICELY DONE!
Good video. Thanks.
Very good compilation
Nice Video
Well done sir! Thank You!
Samson tank
The song makes me cry
Enjoyed the video/music, Thanks. Later from Texas. usa.
Nice video but the halftrack pictured at 4:44 is the Selbstfahrlafette für 7.5cm pak 40 auf Somua MCG S307(f) not the prototype AT halftrack based on the Sd Kfz 6
Every time i have heard this music i think 'Halftracks' . I now know why.
Wow. 57 flavors and lousy mass production. They'd have been better off just building a million of one good model of deuce and a half like we did. They look cool tho!
They did the same thing with there tanks too
I don't really think the option of an american style mass production was viable at any point. Fuel was a giant problem in germay as it was. Having a ton of eh good enough vehicles like the sherman rolling around would not work in germany. Thus you have to thrive for top quality in whatever role the vehicle is ment for to hope to offset the numerical disadvantage somewhat.
The vehicles in the early part of this video aren't half tracks. They are fully tracked trucks although the tracks are divided. The dictionary definition of a half track is a civilian or military vehicle that has wheels at the front for steering and tracks at the rear for propulsion and support. If this is a history of half tracks, then those vehicles probably shouldn't be in it -- they deserve a classification of their own. The first half track doesn't appear until 2:03.
Larry Fontenot not true, a couple were towing artillery in WW 1
Umm, are you sure that at 4:42 they are the same vehicle? The hull is very similar, but the one of the video seems that does not hace turret, and the gun is clerly not a 37 mm gun, seems more like a Pak 40 75mm
+Sergio Cv your right, i was suppose to put that in the Sd.Kfz.251 variant slot , damnit - thanks for spotting that
+Sergio Cv i saw it to, isn't a german halftrack btw, the suspension is different ( no big wheels) French? or Polish?
Yes, it's a French conversion.
Gracias, hay muchos vehículos q nunca había visto
Frame 16:18, If I see this right, this is a shortened rear end of a Panther, welded to the front of a half-track. Please comment.
Still missing many half tracks, but pretty ok video
wow where did you find these Photographs.
The sd kfz 9 ton would be so beast to own
It would be my Winter car. Minus the 3.7cm Flak. I wouldn't need that.... yet
Very Good!!!
Good video
NICELY DONE
You would think someone who knows how to make video's would also know how to control audio levels in said video ...
Were any german have tracks used in civilian use after the war ? Ie construction and ad hoc roles ? I know the the smaller motorcycle style the luftwaffe used was used by foresters . But the large ones ?
very very nice :D
Este semioruga hasta el dia de hoy podria seguir funcionando y no x paseo si no como arma y seria de extraordinario rendimiento
I'm suprised I didn't see the sdkfz 251/16 "Flammpanzerwagen" or /17 2cm Flakwagen
logistics must have been a nightmare for the German army with so many different types and different manufacturers they should have stuck with a good design and built many same way with all their war material too many types and variants from so many different sources with not much standardized
@menckencynic Production quantity doesn't do you much good. All it means is you have to fuel up double the amount of vehicles and fuel was already in short supply.
@menckencynic When it comes to half tracks I somewhat understand what you are talking about but as far as tanks go I dont really see that point and even different half track designs seem important. Heavy half track versions were used for maintanance of tanks as for example you could strap cranes to their backs and they were able to fill that role nicely. Heavy 18t half tracks could also pull heavy artillery pieces. As these roles needed to be filled you'd have to build mainly a heavy half track and a lighter combat-capable half track. Building them so big they could fit any role seems like a giant waste of material to me and also means that as you would have to settle for a heavier version it would use way more fuel than its lighter counterparts.
Filling the role of the Sd.Kfz. 10 or the Sd.Kfz. 6 with a heavier vehicle seems to me as it would take up way more fuel as just building 11 weigh specific vehicles.
It may seem a stupid question but what are the advantages/disadvantages of having wheels at the front & tracks at the back ?...I've watched quite a few of these vid's on half tracks & can't get an answer to this basic question ? They all seem to just show you the different types.........half track porn !!!!!.If anyone knows a good video which answers this question I'd be grateful.
Googling it was not an option?
Here's what you want: ruclips.net/video/BMcivZPtnCw/видео.html :)
loveday , basic answer . Cost , the extra weight and complexity of steering with the tracks . The front wheels for attempt at steering allows you not to have costly and complex track break steering on the back like a tank would have . Look how light a snowmobile is ? Making a half track or a tank heavier adds wear and tear on the parts ? Your question is a very good one . I hope this vague answer helps to put you on the right track ?
Tracks float over soft ground better than wheels.
To get over obstacles better, since things solved the problem about heavy transport trucks (also because these were "simple" flat tracks) at the time, steering was done with Front wheels and at a certain degree also the track brake would be used. @Mark Cant Email this system didn't put as much stress on the ground and it was like a normal truck in terms of parts being damaged, just that this truck's a bit heavier and has tracks.

Hay so i just got a matchlock pistol and was wondering when the musket and matchlock video will be coming out.
+john ranger still trying tyo gather all of the photo's and information - so far i'have most of the information on muskets and matchlock rifles from the American Revolution, the Boshin War and even rare korean matchlocks from the 17th & 18th centuries
jmantime ok cool if you need help just ask.
Most of them from we 1 are not half tracks. They are fully tracked
There is only one thing I have to say about the Kettenkrad. GIMME!
Panzerwerfer? A tank thrower ?
I was stationed in Giessen, Germany where Hanomags were produced.
Only few mayority was produced in Hannover (that is what Hannomag (Hannoversche Manschinenfabrik AG) stand for) , Münster and later Bratislava
what was the purpose of a half track and why they do not make them anymore?
Infantry based transportation mainly, it was used to mobilize 10 soliders. The reason we don't use them anymore is because we have more better ways of transporting larger amounts of troops to the battlefield, like aircraft and APC's.
the world war 1 half tracks look like homemade tanks from Syrian war
The other way round
The other way round😂
Lol they’re not half tracks. They’re fully tracked apc’s atleast some of them they just have two sets of tracks.
the best technology ever
Soveit half track please
Təşəkkür edirəm
Good video and lots of vehicles I'd never heard of , but, ermmm, lots of those early half-tracks...well, they're not, are they? :)

Nice sountrack, but though instead of Kevin MacLeod.. weren't more adequated Wagner?!
Why Nazi make many many varian of halftrack?
Romanian half tracks are not german half tracks
Germans are quite the geniuses aren't they? But i feel like it's unnecessary for troop carriers, but still, very cool
it just seems unnecessary until you know the reason. Tracked vehicles are not as easy to drive like a normal truck. Therefore you have to train your drivers. Half tracks do drive/steer like normal trucks and no further training is needed. Every civilian driver was able to drive one of these (after a short instruction).

It's a major mystery to me why the germans made their pre-ww2 era tanks with such a garbage military design. (Aka square boxes) when they had made clearly more advanced vehicles, with smart sloped armor facets ever since the end of ww1. Why in gods name had them use the poor design for their panzers?! Until the Panther which was made as a wake up call after the T34 ruined their troops on the eastern front, they kept pushing the poor format Including the Tiger, which was hailed as a great tank, it was crap. A bigger Panzer 4.
Imagine had they used a smart tank design from the start, the alternate universe Tiger would have wrecked left and right and not be humiliated by the IS-2 either
Jermans !! What people!!!?
Musical accompaniment was most horrible.
