They all survived, there is a clip of them all 5 jumping out of the tanks and running away. Pershing wasn't powerful enough to kill them all but isn't that a good thing?
Did anyone realize that USA has never had a War in the century after 1900 in his own Country.
This Country impress an interest rate system first over USA later in Europe and right now of the whole world. Supports Israel for breaking the human rights.Has a big Profit in the 1WW, And in 2WW. Korea,and so on,Vietnam,Irak, next Syrien,Iran, up to Russia and Final china?
yeaaa u can be very proud of ur Country,. we stand in front of the 3WW right now. Did anyone heard Mr Gorbachev before 10 Days??
I was just standing in front of that Cathedral no less than two days ago. Its truly amazing how the war raged on around it back in WWII and yet the Cathredral managed to survive. It was build in the late 11th century and took over 600 years to complete
@GermanMilitaryPower Are you fucking kidding me?! Oh yeah... Germans were a wictims.... and you only carrying out of orders...and murder of millions of people are politicali fictions? I hope your family from SS and Gestapo are burning in hell.
@Hume2012 Hey idiot STFU!!! Hitler attacked cos he wanted a perfect world without Jews( the most smart and rich people on the World)!! So get used to it HITLER was an asshole........just look at his mutaches and hair style!! :P
@Hume2012 who declared war first on germany? it was france and the uk under the drunken fool churchill.so invading them is justified.The soviet union had to be invaded that was hitlers real enemy,if hitler didnt ivade he would have been invaded for sure..it was either national socialism or communism.look what happened to finland during the winter war..they got invaded first by the communists so germany would have ended up the same.oh bdw nazisgassedsixmillionjews is a lie..look at the evidence.
@sheyon1000 Learn your history. Churchill was not the prime minister who declasred war. It was Chamberlain.
And with evidense you mean Buchenwald, Bergen Belsen, Sobibor, Auswitsch, Westerbork, Amersfoort, amongst a total of 1076 death or concentrationcamps. Or do you mean the sytematic gassing of everyone considered Untermensch? You are a bit scary but thankfully way too stupid to be taken serious. Have a nice life and do some education please, du bist ein sehr slechtes Beispiel für ihre Land
@ryanl5451 That Pershing did NEVER get knocked out by a Tiger,there were never any tigers in Cologne at this time were the Pershing and Sherman with US troops entered the city... That pershing was only heavily damaged once,and that was by Paderborn. It was hit twice by panzerfaust,and had to pull back to base for repairs... thats the only time this Pershing got damaged.
Thank goodness the allies won the war, just think what Great Britain would look like if the evil Germans won...no riots, no burning cars and buildings, safe to walk down the street and all white people. Looks like Hitler got the last laugh. LOL
Sure! Allies were guys who lost the war, because they fought on two fronts simultaneusly, and lost their countries! The Third Reich conquered whole world and ruled it for 1000 years! Makes sense.
@DrStrangelove0101 The atomic bomb blasts were the appropriate fireworks grand finalé with which to end the Second World War. An author I once read likened all the participant nations to mental patients by the end of the war. Having recently watched Ken Burns; "The War", clearly any thought of a continuation war would have been insane.
There is no war of Good vs. Evil, maybe Gray vs. Evil, but no Good vs. Evil. In the case of World War II it was more of a Very-Evil-Gray vs. a Really darkdarkdark Evil.
@g0r3g4sm Not we learned from it but the people who were in the war learned from it. For us it's just history thats why some people propably never will stop doing war until they face it themselves. There will be always a new generation of people which will see this only in books or TV as history and never fully understand the cruelsome nature of war. I wasn't in war but I belong to the people who see that war is useless but as usual we are the people who have no decision about that.
@ilGrandeCornuto The only American still wanting to fight a war with Russia was Patton. Everyone else had had enough after six years of it. Nevertheless the Russians probably didn't have enough manpower left to go head to head with the US Army in '46. It's well known now that the Russian's were substituting massive amounts of firepower to make up for their shortage of men.
im very black and white on this subject , if you supported your leader with undivided faith and supporteed a fanitcal govt that you knew was on a war path why shouldnt you be blamed for atrossities that would only occur because of your actions (germany/japan). And do give me any bs that the german people didn't know all the factorys were pushing out war mats and imperial japan was raping all of asia throughout the 2nd half of the 30ths. Now the japs had unit 731 and nazis had well. you know
@slopymongchode Kid, like the way you tried to hide your opinion, If you are so black and white on this subject then, why did your goverment use the collected research from unit 731, and neglected to bring them to justice? was that because your goverment wanted to use those same people? (which they did) I have lost two great uncles in the second world war, and everyone from this (my) island was a volunteer! slan!
@lambhdeargh yah we did that for a reason. the japanese people were still fanatics , blindly loyal to there govt. You think they were going to follow puppets that we put in. We needed a Dem. in Asia Japan was our only shot. close the soviets and china. Macarthur knew what he was doing , and its proven look him up He ran a better goverment in japan while fighting the koreans then truman could in washington. We put jap's that did bad things in power to get a fast turn around small price to pay
@slopymongchode I think you missed the point, It was the doctors and scientists from that unit I was talking about. Those very people that the USA thought were more useful to themselves, than being punished for their crimes. The good ole US of A, you can always rely on them to spout democracy, then do whatever it wants anyway!
@brandonbig1 Bullshit. The Pershing was roughly equal to the Tiger, and the Tiger came out 2 years earlier. The Pershing was also less mechanically reliable. The Tiger was actually a very reliable tank if you maintained it properly, but post Kursk German tank crews typically consisted of a veteran commander and a bunch of raq recruits. This coupled with the lack of enough ARVs and a general shortage of spares resulted in just as many abandoned Tigers as ones destroyed by enemy fire.
Sure, the tiger/king tiger was a masterpiece engineeringwise, but they where to complex for the battlefield and therefor broke down or went out of fuel.
@PkayerZxz2 who gives a fuck about tanks when the allies ruled the air, america ran the mustang the terror of the sky's by far the best and most powerful airplane of the war.
@slopymongchode You sound like some 12 year old USAF fan boy that has wet dreams about F-22s. Pilots think they're hot shit but the fact is air power alone can't win wars. As decisive as strategic bombing was it's the grunts that capture the ground and defeat the enemy armies. Without them you can't win wars,
@PkayerZxz2 USAF fan boy.......god im waiting on my application to West Point to get through. My grandpa was kiling japs in teh pacific when he was 14. As of air force they didnt even have um back then (AAC)like i care anyways. i know the value of good infantry im going to the Army for gods sakes. Now it does take great men to win wars but im telling you now wars are fought with Weapons and making sure you got the best of um really helps. Airpower supremecy is key in every war check the deaths
@slopymongchode You? West Point? Your spelling and grammar aren't even good enough to get you past Grade 6 let alone into the most prestigious officer training school on the planet. Air power may be very important but you'll find that wars can't be won without the ground forces. Air planes certainly help lots but they aren't necessary. Warfare got along just fine for thousands of years before the 3rd dimension was introduced.
@lambhdeargh look it up most mustangs got 3 to 1 or 5 to 1 kill ratios on those , some aces have recorded 11 the skill of american pilots mixed with the mustangs balance of power/agility/guns made it a beast somthing not even this wonder weapon couldnt handle
@lambhdeargh lol u really that dumb exceeding the mustang by only 50mph, having the same/ worse roll then the mustang , against 8 50 calls the mustang had to offer. and the experience the British and American pilots brought to the table . you can go shove that kraut plane up your ass. Krauts kings of making useless weapons. Tanks that cant cross bridges, missiles that you cant aim, artillery you need 4 railways and a general to operate. Yah really revolutionary. Ahh ya , devils sled - fail
@slopymongchode See, there you go again, you know, you should let people think you a fool, rather than voicing your opinion and having it confirmed. You do realise that postwar American and Russian jet design were the result of German designs and engineers, or, that missile technology was far ahead of anything the USA could produce. So much so that the chap involved, Werner von Braun, got your country into space, or even the STG44 that was copied by the USSR and called the AK47! You are a troll.
@lambhdeargh yah german missile tech was way ahead of the us but the targeting was in the past , hate to break it to ya but without targeting the missile is pointless. von brauhn was 1 man it actually took hundreds of scientists and billions of us dollars to get us to the moon. u t are a idiot i bet you think it was just Opinhimer and Einstien chating at a table and they just poped out a nuke. And i hate to break it to you the browning 50cal was invented the before stg44 and its still used 2day
@slopymongchode I shall break it to you easily, try reading a few books, you know those things made from paper! They list all those wee things called facts, that disprove your anti German bias, to the point that you dear boy are the idiot. Sure even your M1A2 abrams has a German gun in it! Mind you, it is a bit on the portly side now, at around 72 tons, after all those upgrades it needed, to try and stop it from being so shite! Oh, the germans had a guided missile, it sunk a warship in june 44.
@lambhdeargh@slopymongchode lol the germans kill A ship 1 ship, in all of ww2 with it . yes wonder weapon peak of engineering. You really cant comprehend that a design that cant be produced on a mass scale, and used effectively is not a good weapon for ww2. usa designed the sherman a tank. a artillery platform (spriest/Calliope), amphibious assault vehicle, Minesweeper,ap flame, Heavy At (firefly). the only weapon that i ever thought was really wonderful for Ger. flak 88 arty/aa/at all in one
@lambhdeargh Your facts are wrong. It was a guided BOMB, not missile. The Roma was sunk by Do 217's armed with Fritz X radio controlled bombs. The technology for that existed even before the war. In fact, the allies built and tested a radio controlled bomber during the war.
@DrHavoc1 Actually, I was refering to the H293b guided missile, which did sink allied ships a few days after the D day landings. It used wire guidance, to avoid the frequency jamming the allies used to defeat the Fritz X bomb you mentioned. Is this specific enough?
@slopymongchode On a final note, you can't even claim the Aeroplane as truely American, Considering the RAF asked the USA to design an airframe to a specific brief, then upon recieving the best the USA could muster as regards the spec requred, the RAF then installed a Merlin engine in said aeroplaine because it was crap, and thus the aircraft of your wet dreams was born. Slan an bod ceann thu, agus pog ma thon!
@slopymongchode Guess what, I looked it up and yes you really are full of mad dogs shit. The only way a mustang could, and did kill me262's, was when they were either taking off or landing.
@lambhdeargh i didn't feel like sending you some font cause im not sure if you can read right so i will give your a simple video type Dogfights: The P-51 Mustang Part 4 into your you tube search bar , if you have a adress i will mail you a coloring book also.
@slopymongchode You are basing the performance of the me262 v mustang on 1 dogfight? thats it! Then you critisise me for bias! look at the facts, most me262 were shot down either taking off or landing, thats a fact, not bias. Your use of the sherman tank for a technological masterpeice, is also a bit of a fallacy too, since the brits were the only ones to put a decent gun into it, and very few got that advantage until the M4E8 came on scene, much later in the war.
@lambhdeargh lol y are so stubborn you can look it up there is a reason why the mustang is a legend it is because it defeated nazi jets, the best of the bf109's , the zeros, tank busters, air-ground it was the best of the facts. you can look it up any were most prestigious plane of ww2. and radar guidied arty those were failures again to ambitious for its own good. We spent time perfecting anti-personel arty. using tech that already existed to explode over the ground. you sir are the troll!
@slopymongchode Look, just do a quick google search even fuckin wiki will corroborate my view,and I am stubborn? Just because you have an opinion does not make you right, even its air to ground role was highly dubious as it was considered a fragile aircraft, as say the P40 thunderbolt. Personally my favourite aircraft was the Spitfire but only because it was fuckin good looking.
@lambhdeargh yes of course who need military strategists, people who lived it and historians to rate the best air-planes when you have honorable sights such as aircraftaces,com, and chuckhawks,com lol. Being the MOST ADVANCED airplane Doesn't make it the best dont you understand this concept!!!! im done arguing with this trolling nazi ! fucking Göring said it himself when he saw the mustangs in flight THE WAR IS LOST!
@slopymongchode Now where exactly did I espouse or claim to be a fan or follower of the nazi regime? I think you are the troll, as you saw fit to instigate a debate on comments I made, without actually answering them. Also when you say military strategists, you really are refering to American sites, not international sites. Like I said, my family has lost relatives during the course of the war, fighting against the Nazis, and everyone was a volunteer, as there was no conscription in Ireland.
@lambhdeargh your blindly defending a plane that is clearly not the best of the war. Wasn't the plane designed to shoot up rape some bombers and get back before the mustangs could catch is any ways!. it was a fighter that couldn't turn as well as the fighters of the time! agility beats speed in a dog fight especially when there is no computer guidance! mustang wins final
@slopymongchode OK, 103 mph speed difference, and four 30mm cannon= faster and better armed, considering the short space of time they were used. They also have a kill ratio of 5 to 1, considering Allied aircraft hung around airfields hoping to catch one taking off landing or on the ground, shows the fear that allied air command had of these aircraft. Now considering they were much faster, they would have a larger turning circle, thats called payoff, and is a common trait to prop v jet aircraft.
@lambhdeargh ????? much larger turning circle! doesn't that ring a bell as something you wouldn't want in a dog fight. You also have to consider the ease of ability to construct the mustang compared to the me262 or anything German for that matter. also the range FAR far exceeds that 262 also the short flight time just ment it wasn't up for that long and its easy pickings when they had to land. Also high tech-fuel when fuel was scares all combine for a terrible plane for a time it was made.
@lambhdeargh also in 6 50cals or canons when it comes to shooting mustangs and 262 50 cals are tearing you apart and so are the canons they will both make mince meat of each other only thing about the canons is it takes out the allied heavy bombers something the mustangs didn't have to do.
@slopymongchode Which makes the me 262 a more dangerous aircraft, They can avoid the fighters with ease and kill bombers which are why fighters are deployed in the first place. Lets not forget 30mm is around 1.17inches more than twice the cal of a .50cal gun and it contains explosives too. Not only that, all were in the nose, which made aiming easier as opposed to wing mounted guns! now, which would you rather have coming at you with an expert behind the controls?
@slopymongchode LOL good bye, maybe when you are older you will eventually see the wisdom of what I say. Never let your heart rule your head, slan abhaile a chara.

This was part of an hour long documentary on the Sherman tank. It was en episode of a History Channel series called Dangerous Missions (or Suicide Missions). The entire episode used to be posted on here, but I can't seem to find it anymore.
If anyone of you had lived in Germany at those times. You all would have saluted the 'fuhrer'. The propaganda machine was enormous, at least for it's days. And they made it fun to join the nazi organisations. No german was unaffected by it. Please read the history, and understand the situation they where in.
And the common german soldier wasn't monsters, they where just humans, under order like the allies.
@BelieveNoGod ..,no allied soldier through their service enabled a state sponsored mass extermination of inferior races.
Every german soldier thru his service with or without his knowledge allowed nazi germany to continue on it's merry path of exterminiation of inferior races & people.
No, no allied soldier just their respective countries. German troops are generally labeled, with the genocide of millions and not just jews.Stalin was a recipient of allied materiel, but was responsible for more deaths than the Nazis. Nor should we forget that the killing of prisoners and the mistreatment of such were not exclusively german! Mind you, the pacific theatre might be of use in an argument too, but I dont have a nuclear device! War is shit!
@lambhdeargh ..,and the soviet union & nazi germany were in a military alliance thru the Molotov-Ribbentropp-Pact. In 1939' both invaded Poland together which started ww2.
@fluffy1931 That really has nothing to do with the fact that your original comment is innaccurate. As I have mentioned the USSR was allied with GB and the USA, yet carried out deeds as atrocious as any committed by the Nazis, yet that was acceptable? Also in comment to your second statement, is in not curious that France and Great Britain only declared war on Germany after the invasion of Poland yet Russia was barely censured!
@lambhdeargh ..,nazi germany & soviet union were in a military alliance together since 1939' both invaded Poland together.
You left out the part about Hitler attacks Russia - Operation Barbarossa 1941' and no GB & USA were not allied with soviet union before this time except in your fantasy.
The US offered the soviet union a 'Lend-Lease' agreement, similar to aid suppyling Britain. Again the US did not enter ww2 until Dec 7 1941' and it was Germany that declared war on Dec 11,1941' on US.
@fluffy1931 I never said that they were allies at that time,I have lots of books on the second world war too! What I was drawing your attention to was the fact that a major ally was comitting crimes as henious as those you condemned the German soldiers for, so cast ye not the first stone. As for declarations of war, Germany only declared war on America, as Britain etc declared war on Germany. My only problem is that you think the Allies were moraly superior on the field of battle, not so.
@lambhdeargh ..,the soviet union was totalitarian dictatorship. If you would like to make comparisions btwn germany & soviet union knock yourself out.
Germany where the nazi party & Adolf Hitler came to power did so through a democratic electorial process. The same germany that produced Freud, Einstein & Mozart ,Goethe then produced a 20th century industrial state sponsered system of extermination of inferior races.
No it was Germany that took the high ground of being the master race.
@fluffy1931 Ahh, but you percieve those who fought for the allied cause beyond reproach. Is not, the systematic destruction of cities through daylight (USA) or night time (GB) bombing, when it has been stated that civilian targets were considered valid, a concerted effort to destroy a people! regardles that they were German and Japanese, or is that only applicable to western civillians? Mind you you still avoided the original question, or are you yet again prevaricating?
Nowhere in any of my posts have I stated such. please repost anything about 'allied reproach'?
Your fantasy about allied US & GB strategic bombing is more nazi fagtard fantasy.
Even germanys own industrial output increased during the last years of war. According to even Albert Speer Germanys own Armaments & Munitions Minister. Some 'systematic destruction' of cities? That German production & equipment to wage war increases from 1943'- 1945'.
@fluffy1931 You obviously don't like to read too many history books then, as many historians have commented on the allied bombing campaign, and drawn similar conclusions to my own. You obviously don't wish to answer the questions put to you, about allied soldiers being as guilty of crimes against humanity, and change tack when a sensible argument is put forward contradicting your opinion. I can only assume, you only argue for the flame value and not for genuine response.
@fluffy1931 Finally, I can only draw conclusion from your poor attempt at an insult, that you have indeed lost this argument and are too childish and immature to actually admit defeat. It is with this in mind that I draw a close to any more debate with you, as it is obviously a waste of my time and effort to think that you might actually have a mind with which to change.
@fluffy1931 I suppose Goodwins law means nothing to an emotionally crippled onanist such as yourself? But since you have evoked it, you have well and truely lost this argument. Slan Abhile an Bod Ceann thu!
@fluffy1931 Actually I'm not on any medication at all, and it seems like you aren't either but you sure need some with all the hate and rage you have inside you. Is it worth living like that?
@lambhdeargh ..,as opposed to wrapping yourself in a nazi fagtard fantasy that the soviet unions' war crimes & violence somehow excused nazi germanys conduct.
@fluffy1931 Lets nail this on on the head. You said that Every german through their service , with or without their knowledge allowed the holocaust, or words to that effect. I responded that you were wrong and the allies were as bad as. You prevaricated, and I tried to bring you back on track. Now considering around 12 million people died shortly after the end of WWII would you not say that the Nazis were just the losers of history as opposed to the outright monsters as protrayed by the victors!
@lambhdeargh i think the only monster, in the side of the victors, had to be the USSR. they killed many germans after the war, plus the citizens of the former axis conturies PLUS the newly occupied baltic states. war does not come whitout casualties, and the soilders who were told that the nazis were the most evil men on earth, it was hard not to commit these war crimes.
@PkayerZxz2 why USSR why not USA(killed almost all indian population during 19 cen.) why not UK what they did in India for 3 cen. and other colonies why not france same thing like UK trust me that three countries killed lot more people then USSR
"why USSR why not USA (killed almost all indian population during 19 cen.) why not UK what they did in India for 3 cen."
The UK did not rape and kill India, quite the reverse. British Empire was built over time on trade. USA became a world economic power by stealing land and displacing people to their west.. Hitler saw the precedence to do the same to his east. The British gradually built an empire, not snatch one quickly - very different to USA. USSR and Germany's aspirations
@NearAbbeyRoad yes UK did kill them maybe not like US and USSR in large nubers but they kill them especially when India want to seperate after 2 WW I even watch old movie few years ago where is present how british recruited indian population in army and its not India its south africa (there is movie about this too) north america (2 wars).....any conqueror is a killer (there are ones who are brutal and ones who arent) because there isnt a nation or groups of people who would voluntarily surrender
You are ignorant. UK did not kill any Indians after WW2. You get your histrory lessons from Hollywood.
The Britsh didn't even want India. They got an empire by default. Fiji requested to be in it. Others wanted the British to run them - Egypt was never in the empire but he British ran it.
The British Commonwealth, the old empire is a strong unit, so much for disliking the evil empire. Two countries requested to join who were not even in the empire, Mosambique and Rwanda
@wwanimator Yes, but the tactical bombing of every German city by allied command could also be classed as a crime. Not only did it not shorten the war, but the deliberate targetting of civilians was against the terms of the Geneva convention!
@lambhdeargh i agree me from Kaliningrad we break away Russia for the same reason Stalin killed about 1 million locals for his war and we never got a voice so we break away.
@lambhdeargh yah but the allies didn't retake the Rhineland, or annex Austria , or invade Poland, France, Russia, Greece, Africa just so we could have more "LIVENING SPACE" for our 3rd Reich. the German people were bi-standards who stood and watched Hitler take over and watch there Jewish brothers be taken for no good reason. They knew that Germany was re-arming they knew what Hitler was going to do he wrote it in a god dam book. There's a reason why i still hate those dam krauts and japs .
@slopymongchode Anti-semitism was and is still very prevalent in the world, even among Americans. But in a so called moral world, why is it only Germany who is condemned as all sides commited war crimes? I think it is wrong to take a morally superior attitude to the second world war, when all sides dabbled in attrocities.
@slopymongchode Just to set a record straight, why you still hate those damn krauts and japs? does that mean you are not in the very low 20s? Just curious, as when I was 20, I knew lots, about fuck all, and history was a black and white issue then!
@lambhdeargh Not to mention that Americans saw the Japanese in a similar light that the Nazis saw the Russians. As subhumans not worthy of life, and American Marines often took ears, fingers, or skulls as trophies.
@SecuR0M Yeah, but we are not supposed to say things like that, as its throwing a dirty light on the allied war effort. Considering the war started to protect Polands independance, it was countries like theirs that lost their independance, from the cynical carve up of Europe due to American and Soviet greed. But, we're not supposed to say things like that.
@lambhdeargh You are a fucking know nothing troll. The Soviet seizure of Poland had nothing to do with any cynical carve up. It was a fate accompli due to Soviet occupation and would have required another war to liberate. Stalin wanted a buffer in Eastern Europe because he believed the USA and Britain would rehabilitate Germany and launch it against the USSR in the 1960's, on their behalf.
@ilGrandeCornuto I am a know nothing troll? Considering you have seen fit to take time from your precious life to annoy me, I am a troll? Considering Churchill warned America of the soviet threat and he was ignored, by America, was he a troll too? I suppose you know all? fuckwit!
@ilGrandeCornuto See there you go again, you know you are supposed to engage your brain before you try to make a comment, mind you, since your account is only several weeks old, I guess you are the troll.
@ilGrandeCornuto Actually the Soviets TWICE participated in carve up of Poland.... once in '39 when they invaded sixteen days after the Germans and then again after the war was over. It would not have required another war to liberate. If the US had taken a harder line with the Soviets things would have turned out better. But FDR and later Truman weren't too smart when it came to dealing with Uncle Joe.
@SchwiegerH There is no doubt that Stalin was a very shrewd customer with a realists eye for how his erstwhile allies would view the USSR once the war was over. You cannot blame the leader of a country that has just suffered 26 million fatalities for wanting to create a buffer between himself and his "allies". Any responsible leader would do likewise in the circumstances of post war Europe. As for toughness, I'll back the Red Army over the US Army, any day.

Kapitalismus dagegen ist nix anderes als Freiheit, die Freiheit zu erzeugen, anzubieten und zu kaufen, was man selbst freiwillig erzeugen, anbieten oder kaufen will. Kapitalismus ist das exakte Gegenteil von Faschismus. Aber ich werde dich nicht abhalten können, Dir Dein krankes Weltbild zurechtzulügen.
@Skandalos Nanana,ganz ruhig Kollege.Mal abgesehen von deinen Beleidigungen gegen einen Menschen den du nicht kennst(was schonmal Faschistisch ist)mich,klingen deine Worte wie einem Schulbuch für Wirtschaftslehre entsprungen!Also würde ich jetzt mal vermuten du gehts noch ins Gym,Studierst BLW oder dein Papa hat dich in etwas gehobnere Geschäftskreise getragen!Und damit hat die Wahrheit und die Realität,deine Freiheitseifenblase noch nicht zum Platzen gebracht!
Even had it been a Tiger, an HVAP shell from what looks like 150 meters would have been a kill. All the M3 rounds are rated at >120mm penetration at 457meters....I will admit that a Tiger commander may not have let himself get flanked like that.
Is he saying...."His foot suffer in the atack"? if then, what a joke..The dude looks pretty torn apart to me and dosen`t seems to have much of a face left neither..
although the M26 Pershing was better the Panther came before meaning the german´s were 2 years ahead in tank Technolgy also the Tiger Ausf.B (Kingtiger) vs the pershing would be a nice fight >:)
I'm an old German (nearly 70 y o ) - and when I see these vids about the battle of Cologne - in March 1945 - I always get goosebumps and I shake my head -
what went on in the brains of the Panther Crew - they killed the men in the SHERMAN tank (senseless) and then two of them got killed by the PERSHING -
and why did they do that ?? Was there any military aim - in the middle of Cologne - near the cathedral - noooo !! But there were other German idiots who defended small bridges!
@bobu46 Of course there was a damn military aim. At this point the Germans were just defending their country from the Americans and Brits and Russians, they didn't give a damn about Hitler or his Nazi Party. Sure they could of surrendered, but for what, to be held in American prison camps for the rest of the war and longer, and possibly be put on trial for war crimes they may or may not have committed. Next time, tell me it's senseless when you are defending your city from an enemy army. Jesus..
@Rigmored I think its important to remember that the Germans where "the baddies" and the idea was to kill as many as possible. I know the Germans like to blame the Nazis for everthing but everybody in that country supported Hitler and his ideals. Th German people are the epitome of all things evil and should of all been destroyed to safe gaurd mankind. Not sure where you come to the assumption they didn't give a shit about the Nazi party. The germans where a very commited army and enjoyed killin
@bobu46 As a German did you ever stop and think ; Are we the baddies - is what where doing evil? The Germans took evil to an a whole new level. I often wonder how much beter our world would be if the german people never exsisted at all. No offence, and I hope you are still alive to reply. If you are dead or being tried for war crimes ignor this post.
They all survived, there is a clip of them all 5 jumping out of the tanks and running away. Pershing wasn't powerful enough to kill them all but isn't that a good thing?

@brandonbig1 Bullshit. The Pershing was roughly equal to the Tiger, and the Tiger came out 2 years earlier. The Pershing was also less mechanically reliable. The Tiger was actually a very reliable tank if you maintained it properly, but post Kursk German tank crews typically consisted of a veteran commander and a bunch of raq recruits. This coupled with the lack of enough ARVs and a general shortage of spares resulted in just as many abandoned Tigers as ones destroyed by enemy fire.

Your use of the sherman tank for a technological masterpeice, is also a bit of a fallacy too, since the brits were the only ones to put a decent gun into it, and very few got that advantage until the M4E8 came on scene, much later in the war.

slopymongchode 6 months ago
@slopymongchode OK, 103 mph speed difference, and four 30mm cannon= faster and better armed, considering the short space of time they were used. They also have a kill ratio of 5 to 1, considering Allied aircraft hung around airfields hoping to catch one taking off landing or on the ground, shows the fear that allied air command had of these aircraft. Now considering they were much faster, they would have a larger turning circle, thats called payoff, and is a common trait to prop v jet aircraft.
lambhdeargh 6 months ago
@lambhdeargh ????? much larger turning circle! doesn't that ring a bell as something you wouldn't want in a dog fight. You also have to consider the ease of ability to construct the mustang compared to the me262 or anything German for that matter. also the range FAR far exceeds that 262 also the short flight time just ment it wasn't up for that long and its easy pickings when they had to land. Also high tech-fuel when fuel was scares all combine for a terrible plane for a time it was made.
slopymongchode 6 months ago
@lambhdeargh also in 6 50cals or canons when it comes to shooting mustangs and 262 50 cals are tearing you apart and so are the canons they will both make mince meat of each other only thing about the canons is it takes out the allied heavy bombers something the mustangs didn't have to do.
slopymongchode 6 months ago
@slopymongchode Which makes the me 262 a more dangerous aircraft, They can avoid the fighters with ease and kill bombers which are why fighters are deployed in the first place. Lets not forget 30mm is around 1.17inches more than twice the cal of a .50cal gun and it contains explosives too. Not only that, all were in the nose, which made aiming easier as opposed to wing mounted guns! now, which would you rather have coming at you with an expert behind the controls?

@fluffy1931 Lets nail this on on the head. You said that Every german through their service , with or without their knowledge allowed the holocaust, or words to that effect. I responded that you were wrong and the allies were as bad as. You prevaricated, and I tried to bring you back on track. Now considering around 12 million people died shortly after the end of WWII would you not say that the Nazis were just the losers of history as opposed to the outright monsters as protrayed by the victors!
lambhdeargh 7 months ago
@lambhdeargh i think the only monster, in the side of the victors, had to be the USSR. they killed many germans after the war, plus the citizens of the former axis conturies PLUS the newly occupied baltic states. war does not come whitout casualties, and the soilders who were told that the nazis were the most evil men on earth, it was hard not to commit these war crimes.

"why USSR why not USA (killed almost all indian population during 19 cen.) why not UK what they did in India for 3 cen."
The UK did not rape and kill India, quite the reverse. British Empire was built over time on trade. USA became a world economic power by stealing land and displacing people to their west.. Hitler saw the precedence to do the same to his east. The British gradually built an empire, not snatch one quickly - very different to USA. USSR and Germany's aspirations

@NearAbbeyRoad yes UK did kill them maybe not like US and USSR in large nubers but they kill them especially when India want to seperate after 2 WW I even watch old movie few years ago where is present how british recruited indian population in army and its not India its south africa (there is movie about this too) north america (2 wars).....any conqueror is a killer (there are ones who are brutal and ones who arent) because there isnt a nation or groups of people who would voluntarily surrender

@Nikola24able
You are ignorant. UK did not kill any Indians after WW2. You get your histrory lessons from Hollywood.
The Britsh didn't even want India. They got an empire by default. Fiji requested to be in it. Others wanted the British to run them - Egypt was never in the empire but he British ran it.
The British Commonwealth, the old empire is a strong unit, so much for disliking the evil empire. Two countries requested to join who were not even in the empire, Mosambique and Rwanda

@wwanimator Yes, but the tactical bombing of every German city by allied command could also be classed as a crime. Not only did it not shorten the war, but the deliberate targetting of civilians was against the terms of the Geneva convention!

@lambhdeargh yah but the allies didn't retake the Rhineland, or annex Austria , or invade Poland, France, Russia, Greece, Africa just so we could have more "LIVENING SPACE" for our 3rd Reich. the German people were bi-standards who stood and watched Hitler take over and watch there Jewish brothers be taken for no good reason. They knew that Germany was re-arming they knew what Hitler was going to do he wrote it in a god dam book. There's a reason why i still hate those dam krauts and japs .
slopymongchode 6 months ago
@slopymongchode Anti-semitism was and is still very prevalent in the world, even among Americans. But in a so called moral world, why is it only Germany who is condemned as all sides commited war crimes? I think it is wrong to take a morally superior attitude to the second world war, when all sides dabbled in attrocities.

@slopymongchode Just to set a record straight, why you still hate those damn krauts and japs? does that mean you are not in the very low 20s? Just curious, as when I was 20, I knew lots, about fuck all, and history was a black and white issue then!

@lambhdeargh Not to mention that Americans saw the Japanese in a similar light that the Nazis saw the Russians. As subhumans not worthy of life, and American Marines often took ears, fingers, or skulls as trophies.
SecuR0M 6 months ago
@SecuR0M Yeah, but we are not supposed to say things like that, as its throwing a dirty light on the allied war effort. Considering the war started to protect Polands independance, it was countries like theirs that lost their independance, from the cynical carve up of Europe due to American and Soviet greed. But, we're not supposed to say things like that.
lambhdeargh 6 months ago
@lambhdeargh You are a fucking know nothing troll. The Soviet seizure of Poland had nothing to do with any cynical carve up. It was a fate accompli due to Soviet occupation and would have required another war to liberate. Stalin wanted a buffer in Eastern Europe because he believed the USA and Britain would rehabilitate Germany and launch it against the USSR in the 1960's, on their behalf.

lambhdeargh 6 months ago
@ilGrandeCornuto Actually the Soviets TWICE participated in carve up of Poland.... once in '39 when they invaded sixteen days after the Germans and then again after the war was over. It would not have required another war to liberate. If the US had taken a harder line with the Soviets things would have turned out better. But FDR and later Truman weren't too smart when it came to dealing with Uncle Joe.
SchwiegerH 6 months ago
@SchwiegerH There is no doubt that Stalin was a very shrewd customer with a realists eye for how his erstwhile allies would view the USSR once the war was over. You cannot blame the leader of a country that has just suffered 26 million fatalities for wanting to create a buffer between himself and his "allies". Any responsible leader would do likewise in the circumstances of post war Europe. As for toughness, I'll back the Red Army over the US Army, any day.

I'm an old German (nearly 70 y o ) - and when I see these vids about the battle of Cologne - in March 1945 - I always get goosebumps and I shake my head -
what went on in the brains of the Panther Crew - they killed the men in the SHERMAN tank (senseless) and then two of them got killed by the PERSHING -
and why did they do that ?? Was there any military aim - in the middle of Cologne - near the cathedral - noooo !! But there were other German idiots who defended small bridges!
bobu46 11 months ago
@bobu46 Of course there was a damn military aim. At this point the Germans were just defending their country from the Americans and Brits and Russians, they didn't give a damn about Hitler or his Nazi Party. Sure they could of surrendered, but for what, to be held in American prison camps for the rest of the war and longer, and possibly be put on trial for war crimes they may or may not have committed. Next time, tell me it's senseless when you are defending your city from an enemy army. Jesus..
Rigmored 11 months ago
@Rigmored I think its important to remember that the Germans where "the baddies" and the idea was to kill as many as possible. I know the Germans like to blame the Nazis for everthing but everybody in that country supported Hitler and his ideals. Th German people are the epitome of all things evil and should of all been destroyed to safe gaurd mankind. Not sure where you come to the assumption they didn't give a shit about the Nazi party. The germans where a very commited army and enjoyed killin

@bobu46 As a German did you ever stop and think ; Are we the baddies - is what where doing evil? The Germans took evil to an a whole new level.
