All of these captured and Russian vehicles are beautifully restored to full operation. Thanks for all the useful information about each of the vehicle s veiwed here.
The Ford truck captured in Africa, taken to Italy then Russia, is a Canadian Military Pattern truck, CMP, built in Windsor, Ontario, and saw service around the world. Several are in museums in Australia and Canada. Spasibo.
Great video. I have always liked the evolution of vehicles through the second world war. You have capture some of the rare ones here to be sure. The Japanese tank I have only seen in historical photos. Waiting patiently for more
16:39min is the 10.5mm leFH 18(Sf) auf Gw Lorraine Schlepper(f) ... a light German 105mm Howitzer build on captured frensh Lorraine armored tracked tractor... it is no tank killer
nagmashot Excellent points here. Most, if not all of these were produced under a Major Becker’s supervision in Paris. Almost all were sent to the 21st Panzer Division and they performed well in Normandy. It specialized in a defensive roll, strangely enough, in direct fire roles despite it’s 10.5cm howitzer. They paired these up organically with the 7.5cm auf Lorraine, 39H, and Somua MCG S307(f) models. These would be checkered behind and within hedges alongside panzergrenadiers of 125 and their machine guns on laffette tripods and they could hold up entire allied divisions. Anyone interested should read ‘The Combat History of the 21st Panzer Division’ and ‘Panzer Commander’ Hans Von Luck’s memoirs. There’s also incredible combat footage of these exact 10.5cm auf Lorraine’s sending direct fire rounds into hedges across large fields on RUclips.
Hi. Very nice vehicles and amazing restoration. About the Ford F-60, yes it is Canadian not American as said by the narrator. I don't think that this vehicle has participated in any North Africa battle, for the good reason that in 1941 that type of vehicle with that cab (cab 13) wasn't constructed yet. Only Ford and Chevrolet cab 11 and cab 12, wich both have a very different design (no inverted windscreen, smaller cabine, big headlamps on the mudguars, etc, were in use by the Brithish army against the Rommel army. Another detail which proves that this vehicule has been made much later than 1942, are the round plates on the four wheel hubs. These were used for lifting the vehicule with a crane and ropes for embarking it on boat. These flanges are found on the models made late 1944-45. Cheers.
I believe the narrator is a Russian. Having said that he has the flow and syntax of the English language 99% right. He should be proud of his mastery of the English language which is supposed to be one of the most difficult to master. It is my native tongue and I know no other language. Slow down my friend and you will do even better.
Actually English comes from Danish. Prince Henrik of Denmark once said that Danish is more difficult to learn than Chinese. And he has an point, Danes can hardly understand each other across the country. The tree verb grammar does that seemingly similar sentences means the opposite, In some cases it depends on the situation where and when you use certain centences. For foreigners an conversation sound like nonsense, but the persons speaking between each other has it under control like with the British Cockneys.
Brian steff magnussen The Chinese, in their various dialects, take a back seat to no one when it comes to complex languages. Their language has over 10,000 characters, countless dialects, high brow and low brow street language and way back there were words the common Chinese could not use in public, only the royal court was allowed to utter these words. You're right about Cockney and the English spoken by the upper classes
Some infos are wrong, like Kurogane is not a predecessor to Nissan, the vehicle at 10:01 is not a FAI-M and the Ford F-60 is Canadian and not American (you can even read "Ford Canada" below the headlights)
You got this wrong... this vehicle was nicknamed Wespe... it was a self propelled 105 mm artillery piece. Yes some times it was used in a direct fire gun against armor vehicles but it’s main gun was artillery support. It was tracked to be able to keep up with with units it was attached to. Naturally it came into being because horse drawn was too slow.
yes it is the 105mm arty Version converted from french Lorraine (?) chassis by Baustab Becker but there was also a Version with 75mm Pak And it is not the only surviving Vehicle of this type
While these are rare and outstandingly restored , these are limited to what is in their collection or at this display. There are a number of others not included.
Hi this is a great video. There are some very interesting vehicles there. Your commentary is just fine. I suspect that most of the people who have criticised it don't speak Russian nearly as well as you speak English! There is one I don't recognise at all. At 0min 27secs what is the tracked vehicle behind the Kettenkrad? It appears again at 1min 57secs between the Kettenkrad and the people sitting at tables. Is this a permanent exhibition? If so where is it?
thanks a lot for you comment! as far as I know the vehicle you mean it is one of the first Ussr tracked tractor. This exhibition is a permanent it is located in Russia, not far from Moscow. By the way it is only small part is shown in the vid. We are preapring even more interesting video about this exhibition.
the first one it showed , the fiat , i think it was called the " autocarreta " . when i was about 13 and became interested in cars my father bought me a book called " the observers book of military fighting vehicles " . i think the publisher was the olyslager corporation ( i may have mispelled the name ) . it showed pictures of that same truck and it said they were designed to be used in mountainous terrain as the narrator stated . the book showed at least one other one that was very similar to the fiat , i think it was built by alfa romeo
Few was realy rear .In norway we have a numbers of dodge,gmc,canadien chevy and fords still in working condition.I own a 1942 GMC truck my daughter has a 42 dodge ambulance.But still intresting to watch,since wwII cars are ouer intrest and hobby
Most of these were not all that "rare" in WWII. It would be interesting to know some of the post-war history of these vehicles though. A friend of mine has a 1944 Kubelwagen that was damaged and scrapped at the war's end, then pulled from the scrapyard a few years later, rebuilt by VW, and issued to the West German Army. It served for quite a few years until it was sold as surplus, imported into this country (US), and driven for several more years until it was put into a barn and forgotten for a long time. My friend discovered it and rescued it. He intended to restore it to completely original WWII condition, but that proved impossible due to the work done by VW during the rebuild. He also has a Zundapp motorcycle with sidecar that was used in the invasion of Crete. After the war, it was used as an ambulance on the island for many years. Very little work had to be done to restore it to original condition.
Excellent video, mate... Even english is not my Mother language, i could understand you well... :) congratulations, beautiful images of this legends of ww2. Thank you for sharing!
À 10:10 vous allez voir le même véhicule (quasiment pareil) à la page 28 dans Tintin et Le Lotus Bleu.Merci à Hergé pour ces magnifiques dessins de ce véhicule!
At 9:30 mark, why did tracked motorcycles bother with the front wheel? Does it serve a practical function? Seems like the tracks would be steered without the handlebars and front wheel. Thank you for interesting content. Really like your English.
Not really a tracked motorcycle. A different concept altogether. Used a car engine and gearbox. The front steering was copied from a motorbike, but drive system owes nothing to a 2 wheeler. Almost a vehicle type of its own. I know of no other but do not claim there in no other of this type.
Looks like Russia has preserved more German military equipment than Germany has What a shame when you think about it Germany's military equipment of that time was dame good
I wonder why a Kettenkrad is a rare Vehicle, have seen a few for around 10.000 DM (Mark) in the early 70s many were used after the war in the forrests and later sold, in my city a producer of furniture had a HANOMAG SS 100 ( former Luftwaffe Vehicle) used for towing Trailers from factory to factory but in the early 70s it was scraped
binaway It was customary on heavy trucks and sports and luxury cars. It was considered safer on mountain roads for the driver to be able to precisely locate his vehicle relative to the cliff side. This continued to be the case on trucks used in mountain passes well into the 1970s
Various French and Italian manufacturers kept the steering wheel on the right- even as late as the 1950s in some cases. That French vehicle was also RHD. Pierce Arrow in the USA made RHD vehicles for quite a while.
Italy drove on the right until after ww2 they also made their version of the German halftrack with right hand drive ,most Italian vehicles were right hand drive except when manufactured for export.
A truly awesome video! I would dearly love to visit many museums but due to an extreme case of agoraphobia, I am unable to at this time. The Ford truck I am not so certain about, it looked German manufacture.
canadadude09. Ironically, that was a Rolls Royce that the Nazi’s had in the movie. You’d think they’d have a German car, but nope, they were driving British. (BTW, Last Crusade, not Raiders)
Nope....not Bovington, likely to be Russia, I'm pretty sure the last but one SPG is a German made up vehicle using a French chassis and sticking a gun on it....the Germans liked doing that.....a bit like a Marder, but I don't think they have one of those at Saumur.
Majority of Guy arty tractors were left at Dunkirk, then they were used by the German army to fight the Russians on the eastern front so there is a possibility of one surviving out there in Russia. But i never really knew of them being in India.
15:49 That's a Ford but not made by Americans but by British Ford factories. It is a British vehicle. 16:36 It is an Artillery piece that was built by the Germans from French tank pieces. though it may have fired on tanks, it was not it's original intent. Neither was it frequently used in that capacity very often. 19:28 I believe it's French
The first 52 seconds have an annoying special effect which is unnecessary and that's the good part. The rest has a fast talking heavily accented speaker who makes viewing this almost unbearable. Turning off the audio and turning on closed captions make it better.
The video is great but I don't have the faintest idea what the fuck the narrator is saying, I don't speak or understand German. The video, I am enjoying and trying to understand the voice too. It seems to me the USA didn't have any "Half-tracks" in its inventory, Germany sure did though. I'd love to get my hands on one of the old Dodges or Mercedes Benz four or six wheel drive and build a nice street machine similar to the Pick-ups, with nice tires and wheels. Thank's, I enjoyed your video. BTW, I subbed, liked, and tapped on the bell too.
Mein Gott, you speak so fast, anyone who doesn't understand your poor translation and dialect is running at 100mph to work ourt what you are saying. This is an assault course and it is a shame as you are educated and this site is very interesting, but please speak slower? Thanks with respect.

Belgium too, although in private museums
The italian SPA TL 37 is simply amazing, well done!
Great video. I have always liked the evolution of vehicles through the second world war. You have capture some of the rare ones here to be sure. The Japanese tank I have only seen in historical photos. Waiting patiently for more
I wish I were there I love seeing these classic Army vehicles. I loved seeing that collection.
By the way, in 1935 when the T-38 was first produced, there had been the Vickers-Carden-Lloyd amphibious tank since 1931.
Dont know what the fuss is about his english is fine and i had no difficulty understanding him. Enjoyed the video man keep up the good work.
His English is better than my Russian.

I wish I could speak Russian as well as you can speak English. My compliments!
The truck at 15.45 was made in Canada...you can tell by the cab, which was built to the CMP specs (Canadian Military Pattern)
Is that the one with the German markings on it?
Yes.@@billybrand
Boats during a flood: we are the only thing that can move now
Schwimmwagen: Hold my Schnaps
What about the DUKW and seep
@@squirrele.1266 idk, would rather take PTS-M
Some infos are wrong, like Kurogane is not a predecessor to Nissan, the vehicle at 10:01 is not a FAI-M and the Ford F-60 is Canadian and not American (you can even read "Ford Canada" below the headlights)
Yeah the ford is a CMP
But, I wanted to know about the little Duck Jeep!!. Was it called a duckling? I have to know.
They were usually called SEEPS (sea jeeps)
You got this wrong... this vehicle was nicknamed Wespe... it was a self propelled 105 mm artillery piece.

Very nice channel my friend!
At 15:50 it's a CMP (Canadian Military Pattern) built in Canada.
Only the makes were American (Ford and Chevrolet).
Excellent video and some very rare stuff there - good job
Very very nice the italian SPA, thank you.

@9:14 I have never seen a Kettenkrad with an added track to lower ground pressure before.
Very interesting. Thank you.
Great video
A Motor cycle with tracks was used in the film
The Dirty Dozen
That’s a nice collection of vehicles. As well as the rare there a good smattering of classic vehicles made in their thousands :o)
The one at 16:39 is self-propelled artillery. It does look like the Nashorn (Rhinoceros), though, from the side.
the first one it showed , the fiat , i think it was called the " autocarreta " . when i was about 13 and became interested in cars my father bought me a book called " the observers book of military fighting vehicles " . i think the publisher was the olyslager corporation ( i may have mispelled the name ) . it showed pictures of that same truck and it said they were designed to be used in mountainous terrain as the narrator stated . the book showed at least one other one that was very similar to the fiat , i think it was built by alfa romeo
Very enjoyable from the beginning to the end Thank you for Sharing .
thanks a lot!
At 16:50 it's a modified French Lorraine.
It's got a 105 mm Howitzer.
It's a SPG and not an anti-tank vehicle.
Excellent reportage
13:50 Stalin and Zukow in great condition .
Like the video,but would have liked to see the drivetrains on the trucks and ATVs.
great history lesson tks
Few was realy rear .In norway we have a numbers of dodge,gmc,canadien chevy and fords still in working condition.I own a 1942 GMC truck my daughter has a 42 dodge ambulance.But still intresting to watch,since wwII cars are ouer intrest and hobby

Great work with heart

Great stuff!
Where is this museum please!
Moscow, Russia

There are other videos on RUclips that are very in depth about how it was operated and about that front wheel search under its name

Very interesting video
That french one has a unusual tire profile design.
That light armor vehicle at 10:10 look's a lot like the one in Tintin and The Blue Lotus!
speak S-L-O-W-L-Y
Sexy time with my mother in-law
Listen quicker
Anyone know why did the Italians placed the steering wheel on the right side of the SPA?
binaway
It was customary on heavy trucks and sports and luxury cars. It was considered safer on mountain roads for the driver to be able to precisely locate his vehicle relative to the cliff side. This continued to be the case on trucks used in mountain passes well into the 1970s
Probably expected to be captured by the British forces so thought it would wind up over here :)
Various French and Italian manufacturers kept the steering wheel on the right- even as late as the 1950s in some cases. That French vehicle was also RHD. Pierce Arrow in the USA made RHD vehicles for quite a while.
Italy drove on the right until after ww2 they also made their version of the German halftrack with right hand drive ,most Italian vehicles were right hand drive except when manufactured for export.
Lorry ay 15:50 is CMP (Canadian Military Pattern) made by Ford Canada and GMC Canada in Canada and Australia to British specs.
SPA TL 37.. very good vehicle
Where are these vehicles?
Nice video, but I had a very hard time understanding what was being said.
Spasibo!
great video it is kinda hard to understand you ya talk so fast dude lol keep up the good work but slowly haha
What show was this?
Great Video, but without the Musik it would be so much better..
Never thought I would wish for a computer voice.
Tanks are already atv/awd, all the time.

Why are people watching this video that don't like it?
I enjoyed watching it,
would like to know WEAR the museum was, is? - shows I have good Engliz
Or I guess maybe it's not a museum, it's an exhibit
Bovingdon?
A truly awesome video! I would dearly love to visit many museums but due to an extreme case of agoraphobia, I am unable to at this time. The Ford truck I am not so certain about, it looked German manufacture.
5:57.....I wonder if this was the car Nazis traded to the sheik in that scene of "raiders of the lost ark".
canadadude09. Ironically, that was a Rolls Royce that the Nazi’s had in the movie. You’d think they’d have a German car, but nope, they were driving British. (BTW, Last Crusade, not Raiders)
Wow !!!!
Were is this I collect military vehicles from all over the world. I went to a Auction in perm Russia it was something like this
It is Russia not far from Moscow
Nope....not Bovington, likely to be Russia, I'm pretty sure the last but one SPG is a German made up vehicle using a French chassis and sticking a gun on it....the Germans liked doing that.....a bit like a Marder, but I don't think they have one of those at Saumur.
No Guy F.A.T which is rarer than the Chevrolet and Morris FATs
Majority of Guy arty tractors were left at Dunkirk, then they were used by the German army to fight the Russians on the eastern front so there is a possibility of one surviving out there in Russia. But i never really knew of them being in India.

молодец, спасибо огромни
15:48 looks like a CMP to me.
Yeah looks like a cmp fat
I like the Jeep
I gave up and just turned the sour off
The sour 🤐
10:11 look's like the one in Tintin the Blue Lotus.
The narrator sounds like Sesame Street's The Count!!!
love the fiat
Anyone know where I can find an English translation?
The narrator did OK.
That annoying flickering ruined the video.
I want one
Sotty, but I have a very hard time to understand this guy.
