I’m gonna respect history here The actual gun on the TKS was a 7.92MM machine gun and the one that Edmund Roman orlik had was a 20MM Nkm wz.38 FK Anti tank heavy machine gun/Autocannon.
Red is correct out of the 500 so built only 20/30 roughly where fitted with the 20mm the rest indead where only fitted with a light 7.62 machinegun I believe it was the ckm wz.25 Hotchkiss machine gun With around 2000 rounds At 600 rounds a minute giving them roughly 5 minutes of fire time each In my personal option out of all the lighter tanks/armoured cars with machine guns as its main The TKS tanketee was by far the best Followed closely by the American m2 armoured car
My grandfather Ignacy was taken POW by Germans on September 18, 1939, about 20 km from the place shown on that video. There was great ingathering of Polish soldiers on the bank of the river Bzura, near of the big forest Puszcza Kampinoska. They were trying to make it to the forest, and then to Warsaw, but were attacked from land and the air. My grandfather was wounded and didn't make it to the forest. But on October 16 he escaped the POW camp and was partisan till the end of WW2.
@@KoRbA2310 and its thanks to that that the Polish army museum has and original TKS that was recovered and restored to its wartime configuration with its 7.92mm machinegun .... tho i dont know if any of the rare TKS FKA 20mm auto cannon variants survived the war.
For some reason, I love tankettes. They could be the perfect urban warfare tanks, as long as the armor is good enough against AK-47 & 9mm pistol rounds as well as molotov cocktails - they'd clear up cities & buildings & narrow passage ways in no time.
Tragic irony was that Von Ratibor himself was of Polish nobility ancestry being an indirect descendent of the house of Griffin Somborides formerly named Racziborzki.
Awesome story despite a few blunders. It’s crazy to think how well the Poles and the British used their tankettes, but the Italians and Japanese weren’t as successful
@@scooter06rb True, but don't forget they weren't up against British armour. In the book "Who Dies Fighting" the narrator (forget his name, sadly) says the local soldiers had probably never even seen a tank before, and their reaction was similar to that of the Germans in 1916. Really tankettes were scouting vehicles - to take on 'proper' tanks and defeat them says a great deal about the quality of the crews.
just imagine that the TKS was planned to have the BOFORS 40mm autoimatic cannon before spring of 1940. one of the plans was to put up armored platoons with 1x 40mm AC, 2x 20mm AC's and 2 Vickers HMG's. it was delayed becouse of money and politics up to spring of 1940 and was proposed in spring of 1939....

I love to see Polish history getting more attention, as well as animation being used for historical storytelling and education. It's a shame that at one point, you accidentally said 200 instead of 20 mm, and half of the comments seem to focus on that. 😉 About Orlik's post-war career as an architect, the most notable building he designed is probably the Library of the University of Łódź.
No such thing as polish victory. It only took six weeks because the germans did not want to harm and bomb the cities the polish soldiers were hiding. In three weeks Poland was defeated and the russians just came to collect their part of the polish territory. Blutsonntag. Polish attrocities. Facts.
The author forgot to mention, that Poland in September 1939 was simultaneously attacked by Germans AND russians. Yes, russia was on of the initial aggressors of the Second World War. That was a result of a pact Ribbentrop - Molotov between Germany and russia.
they are the cutest tank you can see on the battlefield, I haven't finished the video yet but I know it will good, the animation also has been improved, I wonder what else will you improved, stay healthy Yarnhub! ♥️
"The Tigers fire back, but their measly 88mm cannons are no match for the Polish tankette's firepower, and they know it. The commander gives the order, and the big cats fall back in disarray."
200mm man. Poland didn’t even need the 7TPs at that rate. Germany wouldn’t even have made it to Warsaw. Jokes aside great video. Loved the TKS models looked very sick
Truly a "David meets Goliath" story! And yet another fantastic video from Yarnhub, you continue to outdo yourselves with each and every video, bravo Yarnhub!

As a Polish American Canadian, I can only thank you for producing this fine video. It brings to life the stories of what both sides of my family endured during this period. Sto Lot!
I haven't played in a long while but Orlik's medal in world of tanks is awarded to players if they finish off all medium tanks in a match with a light tank. Great to hear the story of the man that inspired the medal in the game.

I believe the German commander was in a Panzer 4 with a 75mm short barrel while the other two were Czech built Panzer 35(t) Orlik went on to make 13 tank kills in this tiny vehicle in its short lifespan due to a lack of parts and retreating river crossings
@@Sacrifice117 he didnt say he was caltured in this fight he sad he would later be captured idk where but it was clear in the video that not here. Other than that the only notable mistake was the size of the TKS cannon idk what you mean with so many mistakes
@@otherflery3846 copy paste from wikipedia usually means you dont read context or click on those special blue letters which would lead you to not cause any mistakes at all. allowing even one mistake when you're doing some boring "commentator" content about a historical event makes you look dumb.
It’s pretty incredible how the Yarnhub team can consistently improve on every video as they get produced. Idk if anyone has ever thrown the idea out there but an antiquity video would be badass. I understand you’d be reliant on chronicles and sometimes old myths but an interesting suggestion I believe considering the channels strengths.
2:25 uh guys that's a 20mm, 200mm would be larger than any modern battle tank. The Abrams for example uses a 120mm smoothbore. 200mm is entering battleship territory lol
As far as I know, the largest gun mounted in any tank was 6 inches or 152,4mm in caliber (not including tank destroyers such as the FV4005 stage II). Today, the largest tank gun in active service is the Russian 2A46 smoothbore gun with a caliber of 125mm.
This is exactly how I envisioned the tankettes fighting panzer 3s and 4s. Nothing but un-killable cockroaches. That charging tankette scene is the definition of the Polish spirit when they were invaded. Fight until the bitter end. Alone if needed. Better to go out guns blazing in a fiery fury. Fantastic work as always Yarnhub. You should try to do more of those simulated battles. They are truly entertaining
LOL, when you took liberty to recreate that tank fight, it becomes a movie / game style of run and gun, cannon blazing! Totally contrast your usual careful realistic approach!
Also familiar with this battle, the 20mm did not destroy the panzer if as portrayed in the video, but it damaged the inside enough to render it ‘unworthy’
I just thought of a new epic battle… L3/33 cc vs cockroach tank! And who ever wins, go up a level in a final epic battle, winner tank here vs M22 tank!
Man, my favorite part about this video is when at the end the sounds of battle sync up with the gunfire and explosions. You guys have come far! Great work, keep it up! Please do one on Sgt. Tommy Prince.
This light and fast tankette would make an awesome comeback as an unmanned ground combat drone, same armament, but loaded with hi tech AI enhanced aiming and tracking software, controlled by somebody miles away wearing a VR helmet and a game controller.
Just imagine driving a random Sherman on the battlefield and you just hear distant screaming that gets louder and louder the longer you hear it. And then your tank blows up
Can we just talk about the end battle. My dad came up to me to see what I was watching, and he thought it was a movie trailer!😂😂😂😂 Incredible work guys! Keep it up!❤
Again Yarnhub, you bring to life, the Valor, bravery, and daring of Polands armed forces. Poles have proven throughout time that they are not to be taken for granted. Tremendous story, and your animation never ceases to amaze. My weekend is complete! Thank-you.
Actually Orlik was attacking in a echelon formation using other two TKS (with machine guns) as a mobile cover for the precious 20mm tankette. More likely though it was Corporal Władysław Tritt who achieved this victory (although Cadet Corporal Edmund Roman Orlik was probably involved) and it is him who was awarded for this action post-war.

if only he have better tank like 7TP his kills would be much bigger
@@michal1984olka1985 Yes to achieve what he did in such an undergunned vehicle shows how strategic he was
he also took prisoners in a totally separate battle, not this forest skirmish. not sure how someone makes so many mistakes with so many views.
@@Sacrifice117 he didnt say he was caltured in this fight he sad he would later be captured idk where but it was clear in the video that not here. Other than that the only notable mistake was the size of the TKS cannon idk what you mean with so many mistakes
@@otherflery3846 copy paste from wikipedia usually means you dont read context or click on those special blue letters which would lead you to not cause any mistakes at all. allowing even one mistake when you're doing some boring "commentator" content about a historical event makes you look dumb.
The almost-diagetic music at the end (just before the epilogue) was a very cool touch.
It’s pretty incredible how the Yarnhub team can consistently improve on every video as they get produced. Idk if anyone has ever thrown the idea out there but an antiquity video would be badass. I understand you’d be reliant on chronicles and sometimes old myths but an interesting suggestion I believe considering the channels strengths.
Kid named 200mm autocannon
Maybe they could do one on the meteorite that hit a battlefield and the armies decided to go home
These tiny, yet small tanks managed to take out several tanks. These truly are mini but mighty tanks.
This was when i learn about roaches...kids come and jumping on my lap...and i love kids jumping on my laps - tank commander major corn pop
ExCuSe Me ?! These animations and models are BEAUTIFUL ! Seriously tho, thé animation or the 2nd battle, fully created, IS incredible.
Alternate title: "1 armored autocannon strapped on tracks and 2 armored machineguns strapped on tracks take on legendary tanks" lol
88mm cannon, single shot.
200mm autocannon, 5 rounds per second.
Thank god the polish werent the bad guys.
I think it was 20mm, not 200mm. A 200mm gun on a tank that size? Either the engine is nuclear, or the gun is made of paper.
👍👍👍
is made out of Polonium
@@federicorampin3300yeah
2:25 uh guys that's a 20mm, 200mm would be larger than any modern battle tank. The Abrams for example uses a 120mm smoothbore. 200mm is entering battleship territory lol
Uh dude it was a mistake lol
As far as I know, the largest gun mounted in any tank was 6 inches or 152,4mm in caliber (not including tank destroyers such as the FV4005 stage II). Today, the largest tank gun in active service is the Russian 2A46 smoothbore gun with a caliber of 125mm.
Man, that was a great video!
Kept me hooked the entire time.
Way to go on the animation, absolutely thrilling!
Amazing video, as always, guys. I appreciate you more than you know. Keep em coming! If I find someone interested in history, I always recommend you.
Thank you !
This is exactly how I envisioned the tankettes fighting panzer 3s and 4s. Nothing but un-killable cockroaches. That charging tankette scene is the definition of the Polish spirit when they were invaded. Fight until the bitter end. Alone if needed. Better to go out guns blazing in a fiery fury. Fantastic work as always Yarnhub. You should try to do more of those simulated battles. They are truly entertaining
dang that’s a big cannon
LOL, when you took liberty to recreate that tank fight, it becomes a movie / game style of run and gun, cannon blazing! Totally contrast your usual careful realistic approach!
Yarnhub should've taken the liberty of giving the tankettes hussar wings.
The legendary winged cockroach hussars
Imagine the devastation from an actual, practical 200mm tank autocannon though
That’s science fiction shit
This is my favorite video of yours in a long time, and I've seen them all.
There's a reason they call them the Greatest Generation.
1:50 Polish Tankette tale resumes. 2:24 "200mm Auto Cannon"!? The Imperial Japanese Army is Very interested.;)
That 200 mm autocannon firing at over 400 rpm surely made Hitler shiver in his boots, true polish engineering.
Dang bro, 200mm autocannon? The Polish sure had some freaky weapons
Yeah. Tbh Polish campagain was 100% a 40:1 quality vs 200mm autocannon quantity with allies not caring at all
0:06 one of the TKS has one broken track.
It definitely looks like it
Pause it, it's just poorly animated tracks in the dirt. The dirt tracks of a tank track, if it makes any sense.
6:00 I know from playing war thunder that tanks go boom when bullet hits ammunition :D
"200 mm auto cannon" 2:22
Also familiar with this battle, the 20mm did not destroy the panzer if as portrayed in the video, but it damaged the inside enough to render it ‘unworthy’
I’d like to see these guys get funded for a movie, their churning out some fine material on a consistent level
Did not expect that yarn
I believe there is a movie being made in conjunction with Sabaton.
Orlik - "Fuck it, I'mma put a 20mm autocannon on my go-cart! That way I can hide my heavy gun in a bush, or behind a very fat woman!"
Cockroaches are hard to kill
Yes
I just thought of a new epic battle…
L3/33 cc vs cockroach tank!
And who ever wins, go up a level in a final epic battle, winner tank here vs M22 tank!
@Siberian_Snake they are funny
@Siberian_Snake i agree with that
i enjoy bringing the M22 to 11.3 tho
@millenniii War Thunder. 11.3 is the modern tank battle rating. the M22 is at 2.0. which is the early ww2 battle rating.
200 mm autocannon💀
Minmatar do fit that on thier frigates and destroyers
A "0" added by mistake, look at the tiny cannon. Probably a 20mm heavy anti tank machine gun...🤔
@@littlebritain64 Yup
Enemys: AAAAAHHH
WOT players: OOOOHHH 😍
Bro 1v1 a tier IV panzer with a tier 1 tank and won. Wished this could happen on the game.
Man, my favorite part about this video is when at the end the sounds of battle sync up with the gunfire and explosions. You guys have come far! Great work, keep it up! Please do one on Sgt. Tommy Prince.
This light and fast tankette would make an awesome comeback as an unmanned ground combat drone, same armament, but loaded with hi tech AI enhanced aiming and tracking software, controlled by somebody miles away wearing a VR helmet and a game controller.
Holy high calibers Batman!! 200mm autocannon on a tankette?
No wonder Jerry lost the war.
👍
5:11 “ two shells scream at the cockroach”
My mind: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Underrated
Just imagine driving a random Sherman on the battlefield and you just hear distant screaming that gets louder and louder the longer you hear it. And then your tank blows up
@@veeyooohCreaming?!?!?🤨
PLEASE bring us videos where it’s just the battle without ANY commentary or subtitles, just PURE gunfights
Thank you for doing these. These stories need not to be forgotten because of your work here. Great job!
Epic story! Thank you guys for making a video about our polish heroes. Btw it was really nice to see that you included the polish wz. 35 Vis hand gun🙂
Imagine 5 guys sneaking up to that cute tank and just flipping it.
It would take a lot more than 5 people.
Pozdrawiam z polski
Fajnie że zrobiliście film o Orliku
Grethings from poland
Cool that you made a video about Orlik
This story was incredible!
Phenomenal job as always!
He had a great driver.
And I’m sure they misread the 200mm cannon which was more likely a 20mm cannon
Can we just talk about the end battle. My dad came up to me to see what I was watching, and he thought it was a movie trailer!😂😂😂😂 Incredible work guys! Keep it up!❤
The interlinking the different stories and heros my god it's just wonderful
Again Yarnhub, you bring to life, the Valor, bravery, and daring of Polands armed forces. Poles have proven throughout time that they are not to be taken for granted. Tremendous story, and your animation never ceases to amaze. My weekend is complete! Thank-you.
The stories of Polish resistance constantly amaze me. The more that I learn, the more I admire them.
2:24 200MM autocannon, the strongest polish weapon
weakest*
Earned myself plenty of Orliks medals over the years in WOT! Great to get to know the background! Thanks as always for the great video!
"200 mm auto gun" what a recoil it should have mam
0:27
"It sounds like tanks, it is tanks"
gotta be the best line ever
Should i put the "mm yes, the floor is made of floor" joke here?
“200mm autocannon”
@@dustinadolfelisan9846 yeah bro
Actually Orlik was attacking in a echelon formation using other two TKS (with machine guns) as a mobile cover for the precious 20mm tankette.
More likely though it was Corporal Władysław Tritt who achieved this victory (although Cadet Corporal Edmund Roman Orlik was probably involved) and it is him who was awarded for this action post-war.
La cucaracha se pone a volar
El tanque:*se pone a volar*
I'm proud of Polish soldiers in 39'!I live near HQ Army Łódź from 1939.Greetings from Łódź!
