Panzer Grenadiers move into position

[DaFestePanzer]

sorry...spelling fail...Zwiete Panzer...Embarassing

[derschatten82]

@DaFestePanzer actually "Zweite" was quite right. its based on the number two ("zwei"), (Das) Zweite means "(the) second"

[DaFestePanzer]

@derschatten82 Thanks, i hate it when people rag on my german spelling so i tried ot correct it

[DaFestePanzer]

This is MY division! Zweite Panzer FTW!

[chrisrusso100]

Ah how I miss doing this so much. But alas they don't do this in Hawaii. I can't wait to go back to the states. I was in 2nd Panzer for awhile. Loved it so much. Was part of the 2nd half track and then crewed the PAK40. Fun times right there. Remember me Randy?

[ninjapat]

What is this clip from?

[thegoosebrain]

That vehicle sure was quiet!

[derfuher00]

real or replicas?

[ThugCologne]

this is funny, those guys who dress like German Soldiers are mostly Americans, and in Germany they dress like G.I.'s at that time xD

[nissmoguy]

this is a awsome video wheres the rest of it ?what is the reenactment group?these guys should be making movies with peter jackson ,if all the reenactors got together at a world tank show how mind blowing would that be probably a full panzer grenadier divison !!!!!

[kooziejr]

THIS TANK IS KNOWN AS THE TIGER ACE OR KING TIGER (THEY ARE ACTUALLY FAKE)

[beerrunner81]

I hate it when people only put 30 seconds of video up. This looks like it would have been a good one if it was longer. And yes it would have scared the shit out of the French and such. LOL

[MrFlumpman]

that is awsem how many half tracks do u want

[Robert111]

They should drive into some sleepy little Ardennes town in Belgium, get out and start yelling orders in German to the civilians. The old-timers would freak out and everyone would shit their pants including the police when they would come!

[derschatten82]

i dont think that would be a good idea.. at my time in the german army, i had a seargent (Feldwebel) he was commander of a Tank Leopard 2. During a NATO Exercise, our unit was ordered on a training ground in poland.. on the first village after the german-polish border he opened his hatch looked around, saw an old man sitting on a bench an shouted "So schnell hättest du uns nicht zurück erwartet, was?" ("Bet you didnt expected us to be back so early!") the Seargent is now a private again..

[xxxToomy07]

that is funny!!!!!!

[SuperMachinegunner]

lol, i bet he had some fun tough, too bad his uniform wasnt black

[derschatten82]

driving around in a german tank in poland.. we all had fun these days :P

[SuperMachinegunner]

i sure wouldve, i only get to march around in afghanistan

[derschatten82]

so as a former nato-soldier an brother in arms i wish you the best, and that you and your comrades are able to go back to your families without any damage or losses.

Glück ab, Kamerad!

[SuperMachinegunner]

thanks man, sadly tough most of my friends have already died from snipers and car bombs,and my family has already been dead for a while,but the one thing that keeps me going, is the thought of seeing my 1 year old son again soon,i miss him so mutch.

[bernisweltredsun]

[MrOTTOMAN66]

@derschatten82 I NEVER LAUGH SO HARD..

[staryjaszczur]

@derschatten82 Your friend was very lucky ,that the old man did not use his old panzerfaust saved for occasion such as this:)

[derschatten82]

@staryjaszczur i don't think that a original "panzerfaust from the 40's would've done any serious damage to a leopard 2a5 ;)

[SMACKTARDS]

@derschatten82 LMAO

[WilhelmScreamer]

@derschatten82 I no clue as to weather I should laugh, cry, or feel absolutely disgusted.

[ivangrozny27]

@derschatten82 haha nice story

[PotatoGunsRule]

@derschatten82 Sounds about right for the uber politically correct armies of NATO and USA.

[soopersonik]

@derschatten82 i think that's brilliant he should have had a promotion...lol

[MsgtRowan420497]

@derschatten82 LMFAO! That totally sucks he got bumped down, that's quite amusing and it's all fun & games, people need to relax.

[giuseppeRraimondo]

@derschatten82 lol i need to try that out

[thegoosebrain]

@Robert111 Dont give any of these republican militia groups in the USA any Ideas of committing treason by trying to take over the US government by force, which they think would be a patriotic act. There nothing less than terrorists.

[stratagie1]

@Robert111 AND THEN I AND THE US 101ST WILL TURN UP SIT THERE FOR 3 MOTHS AND THEN FUCK THEM UP HOOAH

[Robert111]

@stratagie1 The 101st was filled with soft and green farmboys with crappy equipment that could only achieve success by sheer weight of numbers and massive air support to keep them from being overrun. When you learn real history and put aside the propaganda, the truth comes out hard and clear. HOOAH!

[stratagie1]

@Robert111 Are you on about the whole war or just the ardennes and i can tell you there wasn't much air support. fact

[Robert111]

@stratagie1 I'm talking about most of the war. The U.S. soldiers were always green compared to the Wehrmacth simply because most of our boys arrived on D-Day or AFTER. They had months of combat experience AT MAX. Most were farmboys with basic training. Some Wehrmacht units had YEARS of experience and were hardended soldiers from as early as 14-16 years of age (Hitler Jugend graduates). In general they were indoctrinated and mean sonofbitches, not soft farm boys (cont.)

[Robert111]

@Robert111 There wasn't much air support during the Battle of Buldge, but I was not speaking in those narrow terms. I was talking about the efforts of the 101st and other U.S. Army units in general - they were hopelessly outclassed on the ground and relied on massive air support to get anything done or get anywhere.

[stratagie1]

@Robert111 To true towards the end though it was reversed and the allies where battle hardened vets and the Germans where green with no experience or equipment

[Robert111]

@stratagie1 No, there were always experienced Germans. The U.S. were the only ones really green, the British had experience. Most all of our boys simply weren't there long enough to become battle hardened compared to Germans. In fact the British would complain (and rightly so) of the novice errors that our boys would make (including our command). The main point is that pitting anyone from the 101st airborne against the Wehrmact or crack SS men would be like pitting a poodle against pit bull.

[stratagie1]

@Robert111 Yeah but the us 101st did kick ass in carentan and market garden you must admit

[Robert111]

@stratagie1 At Caretan the 101st managed to fight a pitched battle with a ragtag German force made up of remnants of several units with very little ammo. Then an SS div. came in and pushed the 101st back and were going to annahilate them into a U.S. armored div. and airstrikes prevented the total collapse of 101st. At Market Garden I'm not sure of the 101st part off hand but I don't know of any notable successes except for the British holding bridge until all allied forces lost the battle.

[stratagie1]

@Robert111 Are u German???????

anyway you are right the Germans where better but unfortunately where misleaded by Hitler and thank fully the allies won so we don't have to live in fear of the gestapo or anything.

[Robert111]

@stratagie1 No, I'm from the U.S., but a military historian. I am often shocked by how utterly brainwashed (not you) many of our people are by our propaganda and sheer ignorance glorifying our soft, green units.

[stratagie1]

@Robert111 Yeah i must admit the Germans did look cool in there gear though

[centurion180ad]

@Robert111 That's not fair.

Ami Airbourne units were trained for 2 years, before being sent into combat.

It was Repple Depple sponges, that had the perponderance of clueless officers or NCOs

[jorcastify]

@Robert111 that would probibly start a war between germany and belgium

[diadorim1234]

i dont think armored cars and personal carriers were alowed toi drive on such roads because you cant escape an ambush.

[Beezle88]

Really good!

[WWFKANERULES]

Y DA FUCK GERMANY!

[Xaverle0815]

Ok guys. I can understand, that everyone of you would like to be a german. But you have to understand, that not everyone could be that lucky!

[philiptow]

lol

[rothschad]

These guys are not Nazi's, they are re-enactors and do not as a rule agree with nazi policy. Besides the nazi's only really hated jews, they were not racist in the modern sense and Indians and Black people walked free around berlin all through the nazi era. The SS and army even had foreign units including arab and indian and chinese. The only black men i recall served with the ss in bergen and in north africa so you would fit in whatever your colour.

[Jotunspor]

That my friend is not all true, they hated the jews but considered blacks, arabs etc as "untermensch" not to be equal to the aryan race. Only reason muslims and not arabs as you said served in SS was becouse SS basicly took any willing person by that time since the downfall was close. They even told the slavic muslims that they wasnt equal to the aryans but the muslims agreed since it was a war against jews for them.

[rothschad]

So Hajj Amin al Husseini was not Arab? He founded the ss Handschar which was made up of muslims from bosnia, pakistan, afghanistan, palestine and other ottoman empire troops. I would like to know what you consider to be arab. Sure most were european muslims but there were arabs. And considering people inferior to you is not nessesarily being racist. I feel chavs to be under me but am i racists in that sentiment??

[Jotunspor]

yeah SOME, like a few were arabs, not the majority which you made it sound like. An arab could be anything inbetween a nigger and a sand nigger which lives in the middle east. I havnt questioned your own racial belief so I leave that to you. I dont actually give a damn if you are a racist or just consider some people to be inferior.

[Sturmmann]

Handschar made up of pakis hahahahah

man what the fuck are you smoking

it was made up of 100 White Muslims from the Balkans, no middle easterners.

[rothschad]

@Sturmmann For someone who thinks their an authority on the subject your a bit short on your history. But then looking at your blog i notice your what we call a glory neo nazi, someone who is interested in the subject purely for the oppresion and racism. Your an insult to national socialism and an insult to the SS. There was never a place for you there so stick to rioting at the footie and be a good lad. Or read the real history and not just Ulrichs stuff.

[Sturmmann]

@rothschad you have made claims that there were arabs in 13th SS Division

[Sturmmann]

@rothschad

what you know are not researched facts but zionist propaganda.

I dont give a fuck and plz dont try to insult my background, Im telling facts from years of research.

[rothschad]

@Sturmmann Hmm, yes i see that me supporting the fact that National Socialism wasnt as racist as said would really help for current propogander

[Sturmmann]

@rothschad uh no.....im proving your example wrong

till 1944, there were very little compromises. SS didnt accept arabs or asians...end of story

[SS13E3]

@rothschad lmao is this the retard that said there were arabs in the Handzar Division?

[rothschad]

@SS13E3 Yeah! Sorry to have to break your ayran fairytale. History is always written by the victor so your dream of an all white master race of SS warriors is kinda more assigned to fiction. And if this was a shock to you then it must of hit you bad when you found out about RH's ancestry?? Ouch!!!

[Sturmmann]

@rothschad nothing is a fucking shock to me, ive accept all the facts, and i know the reasons behind these actions.

i dont give a fuck for half the europe today, especially the self hating germans

dont try to insult me with your assumptions, and simply try to back up your claims

[rothschad]

@Sturmmann Ok! You said i said "pakistanis were in the SS" tell me where i said that?? I said muslims which by your own admision is accurate. I said arabs were in the Handschar SS, you well know that unit was set up by an arab from palestine. Its well documented. With him he brought his closest advisors and some from his militant unit. So by this, there were Arab's serving within and for the SS.

[Sturmmann]

"He founded the ss Handschar which was made up of muslims from bosnia, pakistan, afghanistan, palestine and other ottoman empire troops"

ottoman empire didnt exist

Handschar was a European Division....the aim was to get turkey to join the axis alliance, no arab was yet on axis side. and no arab would serve in the SS or be allowed to. thats where the mufti failed. Himmler defend the Bosnian Muslims as descendants of 6th century Goths, a Germanic tribe.

[billjesusgates]

this is true. i served in a jewish SS unit. fought in north africa. mostly against british arab troops.

[Jotunspor]

rofl

[Sturmmann]

do more research on the subject

Muslims from Bosnia were defended by Himmler to be of Gothic descent.

it was the turks and arabs that were considered untermensch only worth of exploitation.

[Jotunspor]

@Sturmmann So now you tell me my current research are wrong? Hilarious.

[Sturmmann]

uhh yes, thats not research

[Jotunspor]

Infact a black person did won a game in the OS in Berlin 1936 and when facing Hitler for his reward Hitler wasnt pleased with it and didnt look too happy which ofc proves that he didnt consider blacks equal.

[rangersfromhell777]

im not sure they care if your skin is brown... as long as your caucasion. white is not a race, look at the spaniards and italians. you can be brown and be caucasion. like most hispanics are half white, cuz they are half spanish.

[purbanegoro]

Don't be silly

[Herbymac0811]

You could still do GI . There were plenty of troops in front line servise who were spanish/american =)

[blumyztikk]

Oh man, don't be silly it's not like they are real kreutze - germans ! They are Panzer enthiusiasts, german tanks are awesome for their technical aspects....

[Xaverle0815]

And you have to admit, that the german as a human being is awesome as well! We created the autobahn, mercedes, bmw, the german short haired pointer .... and we were building you a rocket to fly on the moon (we had to, because your nation was too dump to do so). And soon we will "clean" Kabul and Bagdad for you ....

[billjesusgates]

hey i'm a jew. just don't put me in the oven.

[Panzerwurfer]

I love the Hanomag! Coolest looking half-track of the war!

[balongaboy]

why did i say ot 180 i maent 810

[tmatzko]

crap their back!

[matamoros77]

are those real german halftracks or copies made out of american ones or russian ones?

[tonidmc]

Are OT-810, a checkoslovakia version of the german halftrack made after the war. There were very similar. this ones has been mofified to look alike germans.

[matamoros77]

ok thanks ,hey those guys use real german guns?or mock ups ??

[evany14]

they usually use pfc guns(plug fire cartridges)they have fire like effects such as recoil,muzzle flash,smoke,ejecting shell and fireing sound,other re-enactors just use blanks in real guns

[balongaboy]

the american halftrack loks nothing like that and i dont belive russian made a halftrack. its either real or finnish ot180

[matamoros77]

yes there was a russian halftrack the zis 42m ,,, hey those reenactors have at least a little of the real german ww2 traning? anyone knows?

[jeebateeba56]

is that a nebelwerfer i see being towed by the first halftrack? :P

[tracysw100]

Looks to be possibly a 37mm A/T gun or maybe a 75mm pak howitzer. The rocket tubes for the Nebelwerfer would have been more prominent I believe.

[emperorgrant]

i believe our Russian friend is complimenting your video, saying that the reenactment is both realistic and enjoyable to watch :)

[Rawful42]

i want one of those helmets :O

[modelsdkfz184]

wow very nice.

one thing i dont like about reenactments is how they look so fake...

i mean 3 kubelwagens with MGs on them and some germans running around in an open field looks odd and fake

but what u showed looks awesome 2-3 ? halftracks with a stug... very nice.......

BUT U THINK U COULD SHOW MORE THAN 9 SECONDS !

[warmadscot]

nice halftracks

[rubbereendje]
