@@goetzliedtke Good for her (and you) she lived through that war. Some people prefer to forget it was Germans who were first victims of Nazi regime and that it wasn't all sunshine and stolen foodstuffs for "loyal" German population.
Also, if you ask anyone who has restored WWII aircraft, there are two types of engines -- engines that leak oil, and engines that don't have any oil in them.

The Scud launcher is awesome, maybe there's an old Soviet soldier out there who could team up to help with an Inside the Hatch for it! There's something about them, vehicles with that posture are incredibly mean-looking, in the same sort of way certain furnaces are. It's hard to describe, but it's there; the artist for Mad Max: Fury Road originally based their designs for the heavy trucks on this series of truck. Comically, the Soviets also built a sedan on one of the launcher trucks, I'm not sure what it was used for but with winter the way it is in Russia I'm sure they found use.
In the beginning, when the chieftain talks in front of the T-72, the red sign at the ceiling in the top left made me think I had a notification from youtube. Talk about Pavlov ^^
i think they might fail tape and pt standards, but, i guess if your throwing people into suicidal frontal charges they will die before it becomes a problem.
I recently changed my Avatar to a photo of a early T-72 , in hopes you would soon do a review. The photo in question got a lot of play in the late 1970s because it gave a clear image of many of the T-72's features. At the time most in the press praised the T-72, which in reality they knew very little about. And would go so far as to suggest that we should produce T-72s instead of M-1s. I recall one such "Well researched article attacking the drivers compartment after Congresswoman Pat Schroeder claimed that a person taller than 5ft would not fit inside the M-1s drivers compartment. I suspect no one showed her the latch to lower the seat. And for some reason the reporters had the impression that the M-60 had such tough tracks that it could just twirl around in place and dig itself in, while the inferior M-1 required bulldozers to accompany them to perform the same function. I suspect they mistook the fact that M-60s had a blade tank in every company but at the time we were still developing a blade attachment for the M-1. Either way, I'm looking forward to a honest assessment of our Cold War foe.
Was that really how the american press and congressional personnel viewed the M1, M60, and T-72? Were these made in attempt to scuttle the M1 program in favor of something else or just trying to cut military spending cause the military was not being viewed very positively at the time? I'm from the mid 80s so I missed out on alot of things...
I have been looking everywhere for a video of me in the "Brutal hand-to-hand" at 11:20. Thank you for posting this sir, you can see me (the German) stabbing down with the knife.
For the US viewers, MOT is an annual vehicle road worthiness check in the UK for a vehicle to be permitted to use the public highway. MOT = ministry of transport.
At the 20:09 mark we learn how a California family RV purchase became so delayed by the authorities that the teens left for college before Dad could take delivery.
Perfect opportunity for a PIAT with a subcaliber adaption, opportunity wasted. Good video, the 37mm AT gun with 30 caliber sub caliber adapter was cool too. The guy on the belt fed blank firing mg 42 in the tower knew how to handle her.
Someways I find myself watching Chieftains amazing content and wish there were more like him for other fields :P Likes locomotives. I want an 'On the Chieftains Tracks' series where we go around various museums and look at rare and unique, common and everyday in decent detail. Alas, tis not to be!
Wow.. thank you for getting me REALLY funny looks in a swedish airport lounge.. 'Webels have been nerfed...' Pretty much snorted coke out of my nose laughing...
For real, why do events like these still do mock battles? Everyone refuses to die, its on an open field with people taking it not so serious. Its cool having it all drive around etc. But I always find them lackluster
I am not sure but it is possible that the other SCUD might be at Flying Heritage Combat & Armor Museum. Could be completely wrong but I don't remember seeing it there a year or two ago.
The Paul Allen Flying Heritage and Combat Armor Museum has had the SCUD launcher and missile on Display in their Hangar up in Everett WA at Paine Field at least since June 15th when I saw it on my visit there. It looks good but not as pristine on the outside as this one.
You can't do a school run on a SCUD launcher. A Vehicle that has the name "erector launcher". It'll offend to housewife's Not to mention the giant sex toy it carries on its back
Everytime I see this I always wonder what would happen if one of them isn't firing a blank... Also seeing this really makes me want to see the Chieftain playing with toy soldiers making pew pew noises lol.
overweight men fighting a leasurely ww2 battle :) Sorry but it's hilarious. P.S. wonder whether or not the rest of the world understands the MoT joke (loved it )
Fear not, tubby yanks! The ice-cream van is here to help! Apologies for fat-shaming a nation, but... jeez. I’m still impressed at the dedication. Good on ya, people.
Real quick, can you imagine how terrifying that'd actually be if you and and a few buddies in jeeps were chasing after some German trucks and you drove out into the middle of a skirmish between armored cars and what have you? Personally I'd shit myself. At least they had a tank to back them up!
Wouldn't have time to shit yourself, you'd be jumping off the jeep so fast to find ANY cover, like back into the treeline if you could make it cause that jeep would have been a sitting duck...
Nicolas, u want to know something? I have the World Of Tank's CD, from 2013 i belive. When i place the CD into my computer, i nit to wait about litarally 1day to finish updet. That a big oof for me.
with fish gill armour on the t72? did the crew have to manually set the deflector plates up or was there a button they could press from inside the tank to open then?
Many years ago... Private on the range:"They should have a machine connected to your rifle to pick up all the used brass. " me: "We do have that, it's called 'a private'."
Oh I am looking forward to the video in the T-72. A tank I always felt was misunderstood and seen only through slanted views. Hopefully your video will be the video equivalent of Tankograds Two Part article on the famous Soviet MBT.
So here's the fun part about that (I work at the museum.) We had trouble finding the key used to open the hatches on Russian tanks. In fact, we had to use a prybar and a screwdriver to open the hatches on the T-34/76 so we could get it off the trailer. With no luck on the T-72, we used the DShK we found in the T-55 to fit out the T-72, only to finally get the T-72's hatches open later to find an NSVT in *it.* Long story short, the T-55 has an NSVT and the 72 has the DShK. We need to fix it, but I need a helper to swap them around...
@21:00, when you find out more about this vehicle, I would like to know if each cabin has a steering wheel and how the drivers handle the question of who's driving. Like the cloud car pilots in Family Guy Star Wars parody.
@Jimmy De'Souza I don't like the look of your brass deflector so imma calling out the BREN on the WORST mag placement just cause they were too lazy to change the Czech specs... ;P
This just confirms my view that people involved with the preservation of military vehicles and re-enactors aren't ever on the same wavelength. If you're keeping a 80 year old track laying vehicle going you don't give a damn about if your badges are right...
No, as long as the vehicle can move, has correctly functioning head and tail lights and can reach the average official highway speed, its good enough. Unlike the UK, America doesn't have anything so demanding and ruling as MOT, in fact most of the vehicles that fail MOT in the UK would perfectly fine to drive in America and if something goes wrong just take it to the dealer or a vehicle repair place of your choice and have them inspect and fix it. There is semi-optional service plan you can get from the dealer you get vehicle from if its one the big brand name companies and its one of their brand products, but on the whole you just drive til something fails then go get it fix and then go back to driving til the next thing fails...
Depends on the State. Texas, until this year apparently, worked off the basis of "Do the lights work? Is it leaking? You're good...". California was a bit more involved, including an emissions test at the tailpipe.
The SCUD-B wouldn't be as much fun to drive as Atomic Annie at the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History, but I don't think she's driveable. My dad drove the back tractor a few times.
Wow war seems to be a lot more pedestrian than I remember! Awful amount of hip firing going on. I blame Call of Duty. But seriously what great fun, would love to take my boys to something like this.
I always see reenactors struggling with MG-42's/34's in battles I always feel sorry for them having bought an iconic weapon and got all the blank ammo just to find that it cycles so poorly with blanks.
no but the blanks have less pressure to cycle the action of the gun and can foul the action too. I've seen some custom built gas pyrotechnic ones which are brilliant but I bet they cost more than the real thing and they need a gas supply too so they aren't mobile.
I can imagine that my teenage years would have been very different if the parents had been dropping us off in front of the school each morning in *any* of the vehicles shown.
Ah, the stomach battalions. *Funny thing about the reenactors/Sealed Knot etc in Brit, they all hate the Romans, 'cos unlike the Galloglass' or Saxon fyrd or Vikings, the portly middle-aged bankers of the legions kit costs a packet compared to old sack cloth & a kitchen knife.
It's a vismod based off an FV432. (Hence the caption). A common source vehicle for German Vismods, I can't tell you if that one specifically appears in BoB.
Wow, this re-enactment has everything, including underage Volkssturm
I think you mean Hitler Youth.
Luftabwehr. Not underage Volkssturm but probably Hitlerjugend.
@@PobortzaPl My mom just barely avoided being in the Hitlerjugend. She was nine when the war ended and the age of induction was ten.
And American infantrymen with spare tires.

"Would you like to fight in it?"
*immediately, with ZERO hesitation*
"No."
The reason for the lack of knowledge of the SCUD launcher is that there is no tracks to adjust the tension of.
Unless it's a SCUD A (2P19) ;-)
Also, if you ask anyone who has restored WWII aircraft, there are two types of engines -- engines that leak oil, and engines that don't have any oil in them.

I never realised that both sides were so fat in WW2. And so middle aged, generally.
They really were scraping the bottom of the barrel toward the end of the war, weren't they?
This must be during the Battle of the Bulge or maybe during the Siege of Bastogne? (despite the lack of Winter and Winter gear!) ^.^
Where did they find fat Germans in 1945? I thought Goering was the only one left.

How many civilians were wounded in the crossfire?
The Chieftain rates the T-72 as comfortable as a Lexus. But how does it compare to a Mercedes-Benz?
I guess i dont need sleep!
Those are worthy causes to be raising funds for.
