Germany : hans get ze panzershreck
British: tommy get the bloody PIAT!!
U.S.: johnny get fucking bazooka!!
As a Brit I'd like to say so glad you yanks were on side, we owe you so much
John Francis, thank you. The Americans have so much to thank the British for.
Yeah rolls Royce merlin for one :)
Back at you, mate. We couldn't have done if you guys had packed it in. Churchill is without a doubt, one of the greatest men of the 20th century.
Everybody played a part ...thank the workers and production workers... Thank the people who pretty much walked into their deaths
From across the pond thanks mate but the Brits and Americans Together made a great team in World War II
Thank you for this video. My father did this job in WW2 Germany. Like many, maybe most of the WW2 veterans, he was not disposed to telling war stories. When asked a specific question by me, a curious young boy, he would answer, usually without elaborating. So, thanks for this familiarization.
Как к русским относился?
God bless your Father.
That music makes war look like fun.
LOL I kept waiting on BUG BUNNY and Elmer Fudd to show up due to the overly dramatic music!
Thats back when the army trained almost everybody on how to kill a tank. Those weapons were simple and cool.
They still do, army infantry osut teaches how to use the AT-4. and when recruits get to their units, they learn about the gustaf and javelins
It's the exact same way now just better equipment?
Well you forgot 57mm M1,American version of British 6 Pounder and produced in large numbers like over 15.000.İt was standard at gun of US forces in Europe by 1943.
in Vietnam I fired the anti-tank (boozzoki_) or called the 105 MM. very bad on receiving end but found it hard to hit with. Liked the m-72 law much better can really hit with one found that out in KONTUM or also called Happy valley. 4th inf. div. 10th armored.
That "soldier" demonstrating the bazooka is my dad. We have the original prints, but the pictures are also in Encyclopedia Britanica, Life magazine the Library of Congress and a number of other informational books from the 1940's.
Have you guys noticed that the RPG doesn't go straight hardly but during WW 2 these Anti tank weapons where well designed 🔥
I like the style of the music with the footage, great history thanks.
Coming in some 4 years later, really enjoyed what you've done. Thanks.
The music was very fitting to a superb video.Thanks.
Lots of weapons in bulk, but the only one that makes an interesting impression on me is the Bazzocka. Which is convincing due to its ease of use and mobility and with its punch. Can you do a little aligning and with a hollow charge you can also use various tanks with cracks and maybe the 3 inc gun in large.
Thanks for the video, my grandfather carried an M9.
Turn the music DOWN!!! It was deafening. Also, when the video's used have sound, especially voices, get rid of the music, and let the video play.
But I liked that music.
@@rajpawar9343 it is nice , but not in this context.
I agree. I'm hearing impaired so music and talking doesn't work for me.
Beethoven - Egmont Overture. Nice irony.
-My dad was in the 86th Black Hawk dev. 1944-45 Annie Tank gun. He made it back in one piece. 🥉🇺🇸
These weapons r still relevant in face to face battles, especially while in defensive situation.
Bazooka and Panzerfaust are Parents of legendary RPG-7 - best of the best light and cheapest antitank weapon.
And panzershreck
the m-20 75mm kromuskit is probably the most under-rated weapon of the war. match rifle accuracy, incredibly flexible employment, and an honest ability to knock a hole in 4 inches of armor at 4 miles (or a 21 lb HE shell, or a 22 lb WP "smoke" shell)... all in a weapon of 150 lbs, tripod, barrel, breech, and all. at 2 miles or less it is capable of incredible volumes of fire. if it had also had an anti-personnel round, it probably would have been just about perfect, lol.
The M20 entered service in March 1945 so it pretty much missed the European Theatre of Operations. Still an interesting weapon. The Germans had 7.5cm and 10.5cm recoilless canon in service before 1940 for their paratroops but they had designed them to use existing ammunition so they were much heavier due to the extensive spin stabilisation. They could fire hollow charge rounds that were fairly effective despite the excessive spin on the,. There was a man portable German weapon called "Panzertod" with a 500m range that didn't quite see service. I know it used a double charge propellant to keep barrel pressure down. They seemed to be heading indirection of the high-low pressure gun such as the PAW600 and PAW1000 since they couldn't afford the propellant costs of larger high recoilless guns. These weapons were about half the weight of standard field guns firing the same weight of rounds but fired a fin stabilised round that worked well with HEAT since it spun only at low RPM
James Estelle reading your comment below James, Colonel David hackworth mandatory read while station at 32nd Ad Com.Germany 75/ 78 First thing they ask you that's at the E-5 promotion board have you ever read About face? By Colonel David hackworth?. Command sergeant major said no! go back and read it well see you next time at the next promotion board.
During the battle of the bulge,5 panthers crossed in front of a position manned with the small pack 75mm gun.They were the only pack 75 guns that had heat rounds available to them in the e.t.o.Opened fire at 400 yds and all the tanks caught on fire.Wasnt meant to be an a.t. gun but it worked!
strange, but still a 75 mm wasnt consider a ''small'' AT those times, i mean a Panther tank main gun was a 75 mm, and it wasnt considered ''small''. 88 mm for a Tiger!. Anyway, It'd be such a headache to lose 5 Panthers to a stationary gun lol
@@Luis-bo2uj he meant the short 75 howitzer, not the medium length 75 on the sherman or the long 75 on the panther or the Pak39 or 40
I guess you meant 75 mm howitzer, mountain gun, that can be dissembled and mule team packed. It is amazing this doggy used heat rounds to kill Panthers. Our ally units in Laos used them as their artillery.
I could never understand why the short 75 on a Sherman it couldn't protect itself til the last year why wait so long
I never have understood the music 🎶 🎵 so theatrical make me go insane😊
Did I overlook the M1 AT 57mm anti-tank gun or was that missing from the video? Granted it was based on the design of the British 6-pounder but the US Army produced over 15,000 of them and used them extensively in the last two years of the war when they discovered that the 37 mm gun didn't have enough punch to get through modern German armor.
I agree, they used those a lot!
That poor Panzer IV sure was abused!
i wonder who was driving that tank, i mean this is not real combat footage, it is training, were they firing blanks or what?
Was this a weapons demonstration with musical accompaniment, or a symphony orchestra with special effects video footage?
you left out the M1 57mm AT gun, also the Bazookas M1s & M9s were all 60mm. the M6 rocket had about 76mm pen, where as the later M6A3 rocket had 101mm pen and was much less likely to bounce than the pointy tipped M6 the 1st M1s used.
both M1 and M9 could fire the same late war M6A3 rockets.
the Post ww2/korean war M20 super bazooka was an up-scaled M9 and it was the one that had a 90mm dia tube, not the older M9s which like i said had the same 60mm tubes as M1s.
Nice one, enjoyed that. Missed the 57 out though. Still good, well done.
Superb. Entertaining and informative
Keep up the good work
crap, i messed up on the M20's information - i'll redue it in a full video on allied anti-tank weapons
redue?? How old are you?
jmantime wasn't the recoil-less rifle made after world war II
jmantime u forgot the 57
haloplayer 117 no, it was used in the First World War
You were packing some serious extra large balls to confront any kind of tank with a rifle grenade. Imagine a Tiger or Stug showing up for lunch and you and the boys are sporting rifle grenades..... its showtime!
Paleo Man - StuG was not heavily armored.
Excellent and comprehensive!
Wow 4 mounted bazookas!
Did I miss something or did you skip the 57 mm M1A1 that was the Garand of the Infantry Division anti-tank gunners?
Agree, I was expecting the next anti tank gun to be the 57mm but instead jumped to the 76mm.
Great movie with a terrible music. I want to listen the original sound, no this tedious music.
But I liked that music.
yeah there is no such thing as ''original sounds'', WWII cameras were not still able to record image with sound, so all we got is just image without sound, sound was add later on from various sound recordings
Please turn the music down
Geeze, just because you can pump HI VOLUME muzak into the video-- Let me tell you-- ITS A PAIN! Use lower volume... we get it!!!
cut the music you are making people quit the video
I like the music
It's too loud! Why use a WWII film and drown out the words of that film with music>
Glyn Watkins a
The music is to load and plays over the narrative. Otherwise it seems to be a good collection of facts.
Thanks for images!
Should fired when used in the feld?? The poster was away the day they taught spelling!
These days if the US military wants to pack a punch against tanks, they can just call the A-10 Thunderbolt
Javelins anti tank missile too would do the job .
Forgot the 57.
Anyone remember that anto tank gun from that Clint Eastwood movie that they used it against a bank vault ? what gun was that ?
Good info. Nicely done.
Ditch the music .
Where was the 57mm Light AT gun which replaced the 37mm?
Makes you wonder why they still make tanks 🤔
I guess you are not familiar with the Abrams A1.
The Music: That F*****g Music.
Hey friend, did could you not find info on the M1 57mm that replaced the 37mm and was still the main (though inadequate) AT gun at the end of the war?
+Greg Bailey it was british gun , i already added it to my british anti-tank weapons video
I think ours was a little original (we always adapt for good or ill). I know the Airborne used the original British 6 pdr because it fitted in a Waco glider better.
Nevermind :)
Greg Bailey ok
+jmantime it was American built and had some differences like a longer barrel I believe
The troops found out most of the weapons won't stop the tiger tank
Wasn't the 3.5" Super Bazooka introduced before the end of WW2?
CAROLINA PATRIOT The Korean war?
The original 1M/M1A1/M9 Bazooka series were 2.36 inch or 60mm rocket launchers, The Super Bazooka was a 3.5 inch launcher or 90mm rocket introduced during the Korean War 1950-1953
il canone da 57 senza rinculo in passato in dotazione alle nostre squadre anticarro dei battaglioni fucilieri assaltatori ... un disastro portarselo in addestramento ... pesante ed ingombrante😰 ... però ora mi piacerebbe averne uno 😁
57mm...?
No 57mm M1?
The 57mm M1 was the British 6 pounder anti tank gun
Could they turn up the music 🎶
Has anyone noticed that we are being monitored.
Bazuca was of the best for his time ! Keep in mind that this weapon was invented by a Greek, that he proposed the construction to Greek government and after they turn it down, he gave it to Americans, that they produced it with a big success !
You are thinking of mazooka not bazooka.
wouldn't anti-armor mines be 'anti-tank weapons' as well, and mostly issued to the Army/land forces.
you forgot S.T. grenade No.94 Sticky grenade
Man this music was hard to take...
sound to load, but interesting, bullet magnets are not for me.
I agree with the other comment....GET RID of the music...
too loud!
The best anti tanks weapons (doing WW Il)was definitely Panzer Faust and 75 mm Pak 40 Everyone in German infantry did know how to use correctly this equipment
Edward j j
Didn’t really help did it.
Hahahah no
Where's the 57mm AT gun?
Meanwhile others have anti-tank rifle...
How they can take pictures when during war?
lol, thats not combat footage, just training
@@Luis-bo2uj :O
Missing the 57 mm
How come the M18 recoilless isnt too well know? Seems like it would have made a good weapon.
Entered service too late for the armor is was meant to defeat. By the time it was ready, the war was almost winding down, and armor was getting too thick and sloped.
Nice video.
What's with the Music..?
Beethoven's Egmont Overture...
@@MrPaevo 😇😇😇😇😇😇
Recoiless rifles🔥
Excuse me, but I would like to listen to the speech rather than the music, too loud!
Some of the words in the captions were totally misspelled. You should have used a proof reader to correct those errors. It was a little hard to decipher what you meant.
I love the smell of freedom in the mornin
Oh yeh it can penetrate 100mm
It could take out a tiger tank front amour off 80mm
But the Sherman tank could even with its 75mm main gun
But this TINY bazooka can
Yeah that’s RIGHT
as always Americans can
Also they never seem to be using ambush tactics like you really would so you don't get sniped by a tiger or panzer before you're even in effective range, being out in the open like they were as well despite this being a demo is just asking to get shot. In reality anti tank gunners would wait untill the tank was quite close and to the side or rear before going guns blazing so they could guarantee kills and not get blown up by shooting the front armour like amateur fools
Honestly, they really lied to those soldiers in those training films. The rifle grenades were pretty much useless against German armor and the bazooka wasn't much better against anything larger than a panzer IV.
That's not entirely true because even the big Panthers and Tigers had thinner armor on their sides and their tops which could be penetrated, yeah sure their front armor may have been too thick for a bazooka but a soldier still had a chance in from a favorable position.
@@goldleader6074 and the bazooka guy would sometimes hit the tigers or Panthers in the rear engine compartment and disable it.
These videos are great but a bit misleading. While it can’t be argued that several nations made critical contributions in defeating Germany, the USSR by far was the single most important ally and the people of that country bore the most loss. They are often forgotten by the wast ....but the people who sacrificed EVERYTHING should not SIMPLY be forgotten because of the sins of Stalin and the USSR. I’m from USA and will always feel a kinship to UK, but when I can’t think about WW2 without being thankful to the 20,000,000 dead in the USSR. War is waste !
What about the 57?
Was a good weapon
But took to long to load
Buen vídeo, pero, no falta un cañón del calibre 57 mm? Creía que era el que llevaban las tropas aerotransportadas.
Sorry, the music makes it impossible to watch. It doesn't enhance or fit the video at all.
Well I have a comment comparing with the artillery anti tank from yesterday to today which you think you would preferred to use if they put into a time frame competition on trainy field..
According to Oddball Germans hated the 90 mm.
Yeah,probably it worked really well against rest of German tanks except Tiger IIs and Jagdtigers.
The 3 inch gun should have never gone into production. Too large, not enough mobility nor penetration to be of much use. The 57mm was about as large as the infantry could use in practical terms.
Tank destroyers, hand held rocket supplemented with AP grenades and a good integrated fire plan we sufficient. The Panzer Corps was stretched too thin by attrition to make deep armored thrusts into allied lines.
Britsh Anti tank Weopen was way more better then the Americans
Those panzer drivers stepped fully on the brakes when they heard something ticking on the outside.. :P Or with other words: not realistic, just filmed as a demo.
When they really got hit nobody thinks about stopping the thing. Just get out if you got the chance!
Все что я понял, у танка после поподания клинило тормоза!
where to begin.
Plot twist. There were Germans in those tanks
who drove the tank??
I wonder how do they make the tanks drive without anyone inside.
+jurpker the just pushed a handel forward.
There are people inside. They just put a squib on the exterior and have the bazooka guy fire a blank. when the driver hears the squib go off, he stops.
LOUD MUZAK....of coarse....thilly.....they use a small powdr burst....not an ACTUAL round....its a flick trick....you'll notice the film of burning tanks is old and grainy.
A Clockwork Orange?
Great music😎😎😎😲👏👌
armor unit enters in a cloud of dust and a deafening roar enhanced by amplified loud bad classical music!! Submit before we hit repeat...
Um, most interesting part was the 4 Bazookas wrapped around a "German shell casing" by troops during the Italian campaign!? On a Jeep's machine gun mount, that would make for a serious house-buster, sort of an earlier lighter version of the Ontos armored vehicle with 6X106mm recoilless rifles that distinguished itself in street fighting during the Battle of Hue in Vietnam. Likewise in the Pacific campaign US troops jury-rigged an improved light machine gun using parts from three other guns...
tested guns on panzer 4. like to see do same to Tiger or Panther
it was worthless against the tiger maybe the rear armor?? the side used to bounce most 75 - eary 76mm shells from the sherman
molotov as good.
Why not built a more powerful arsenal on Sherman tanks to deal with the formidable Tiger tanks to save lives and resources. So far Sherman's were watermelons for the Tigers.
i love usa bazooka
love maybe hate pain to use we had the 3.5 in the early 60s not the fastest thing to get ready was finally replaced with the 1 shot m72 and finished off with the Carl G much better but hated lugging it around heavy well thats what I get joining the Army
that back ground music needs to go
No it's great music.
couldn't make it all the way through because of the terrible music background, too loud and not the right choice.
