Heart-felt appreciation to all individuals and benefactors responsible for restoring these vehicles to running condition, it's so important to save them for posterity.
Being a U.S army vet, and having a passion for WWII history, I love watching all the american vehicles that were used in the war, only thing I chuckle about us the guys and girls dressed as american G.I.'s that can barely speak English, rolls reversed, I guess. Thank you for honoring the memory of both my grandfathers who served in army during WWII.
Somewhere, there is photographic evidence that 3rd Panzrgrenadiers did use British Bren carriers in action and were set up like this one. Someone did their research!
Super interesting video, unfortunately I missed this event. What kind of tank is this German camouflaged tank starting from min 10:00 ? Looks like a Panzer IIIa , but the turret is more like a late panzer iii ?
@@flitsertheo That fact and the number of return rollers prompted me to look up the model in my copy of "German Military Vehicles" by David Doyle. According to Doyle, it was the very first version (Ausf. A) with only 10 constructed and photographs of this version in combat is rare, this publication has three grainy pics, one of which is a snapshot of this vehicle during the invasion of Poland.
@@CoreMaster111 On page 29 of David Doyle's book; standard catalog of "GERMAN MILITARY VEHICLES", there are three, albeit, grainy photos of this vehicle. One of the captions reads ' The Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf. A could be distinguished by the five large road wheels on each side'; another caption reads 'With only 10 of the Ausf. A Panzerkampfwagen III constructed photographs of them in combat service are difficult to locate. A photographer snapped this one during the invasion of Poland.' The placement of the front return rollers are between the first and second road wheels in Doyle's book, regardless, an early Panzer III with five large road wheels existed in very few numbers, whether this tank at the Bastogne 80th Anniversary event is a bastardized facsimile or an authentic restoration is moot.

I read on reddit it's like a converted British FV432 apc... an other person mentioned it's a pzkw III Ausf A which had only 5 road wheels...
@@ducomaritiem7160 Then I think it's the FV432. The idler wheel of a PZIII was spoked, not full.
12:00 What is this??
It looks like a Panzer 2 masquerading as a Panzer 3
Yes Panzer III replica! ☺️
Nice you are in bastogne nice make america great again !!!
Super! priwjet from USSR
Manhay - No Bastogne
You’re right! 👍
When was this ??? / What time ... I was there today ( saturday december 14. ) but didnt saw them 😮
I think it was friday because today (saturday) the weather was cloudy , snow and mud in the afternoon.
And this is not Bastogne but Manhay.40km from Bastogne (I live in Bastogne....so... 😂 )

@@military-vehicles okay 😁👍🏼
Are these vehicles privately owned? Also: Where does the guys in this video buy their clothes?? I want some 40s stuff..
Both, from private collections as well as museums. Sorry, I don’t know how they acquire their clothing. Maybe through military fairs?
We want to see the king tiger

Un faux PZ 3 ^^

@11:33; An early model Panzer III Ausf. A, very few were manufactured..
The road wheels aren't correct for any PZ III

This vehicle is poor quality replica of Panzer III. Nothing more.

@@peghead Vehicle shown in this video is not a real Panzer III. It's fake aka replica.
