Battle of the Bulge

[omnivoxus]

Ok: The song is in German: know what; I like it: it is stirring music and would appeal to anybody no matter where you come from. Considering that about 50% of us English have German blood is it any wonder I find it so good to listen to.

[MrHEILDEMFUHRER1]

M 47 PATTON IS A DISONOR.....FOR A TIGER

[MrHEILDEMFUHRER1]

M 47 PATTON

[nightfrog205]

The Germans came very close to kicking our asses.I was there,I know

[garciagar64]

@nightfrog205 Me too! What saved our asses was the many fronts Hitler opened everywhere. Really ugly times!!

[honyasenyou]

M-47 Pattons... Pattons... Pattons...

[NOBULLANDNOSPIN]

YouTube needs to stop playing politics period!

[nightfrog205]

The Americans ,and Germans,should have joined forces,With Men like Von Staffenberg,and kicked the Hell out of Russia,just like Patton said.

[TheAlextombstone]

@nightfrog205 nah, the nazis were evil...if i were alive during ww2 i would kill them for what they did for the jews

[JGeschw300vonKresky]

@TheAlextombstone Unfortunetly they do not finish this job !

[totalvvar]

pattons, PATTONS EVERYWHERE

Nazi germany conquered america or something?

[kabubusch]

"Ob`s stürmt oder schneit, Ob die Sonne uns lacht, Der Tag glühend heiß, Oder eiskalt die Nacht. Verstaubt sind die Gesichter, Doch froh ist unser Sinn, Ja unser Sinn; Es braust unser Panzer im Sturmwind dahin."

"Whether it`s stormy or snowy, If the sun is smiling at us, The day blistering hot, Or freezing cold the night, Dusty are our faces, Still bright is our mind, Yes our mind; Our tank is roaring its way through the heavy gale."

I hope my translation is accurate enough.

[norasethyb]

i think i saw m26 pershing in entire movie

[MKIVWWI]

Saw this movie as a kid when it first came out, at Hollywood's Cinerama Dome. Greatest movie experience I can remember -- with the huge, curved screen that filled up almost the entire field of vision, it was like being in the middle of a battalion of tanks! Even though they were only M-47 Pattons, and not PzMk VI King Tigers (few examples of which survive), they were still magnificent!

[engmokhtar]

Only winners write the history !!!

love you Germany ......

Egypt....

[StiletBLR]

Ржу немогу))) это когда так немцы ездили на американских М46 паттонах в ВОВ?

[Professerfuckknows]

I think the words translate to:-

'We got our arses kicked by the Russians'

'The Stalin tractor factory produced far superior tanks to ours'

'It was fucking cold in Russia'

'So we took it out on the Brits and the Yanks'.

[Dreachon]

@Professerfuckknows

Very funny especially given that the russians lost more tanks than any other nation, 96500 fully tracked AFV were lost during the war.

[josephb1971]

This great song makes the Germans proud of their Tiger Tanks during WWII. It good to know the Movie in Spain which my mother tongue is Spanish.

[VINCENT1958823]

那不是德軍戰車阿= =,拍攝經費有限吧....

[wnyvideo]

Great editing - nice job! It would have been great if they had real Tiger II's but I can get past the M-47's myself.... There are only a couple of Tiger II's in running order and there probably weren't many more available even in 1965.

[marty979]

Spanish tanks instead Germans......Hitler will turn in the grave:)

[mkeogh76]

@marty979 Not only Spanish tanks, but American made ones! The M-47 Patton was an American tank that was sold to Franco's Spanish army. (They were used again to represent German armor a few years later in "Patton" which was also filmed in Spain and used the Spanish army as extras. Franco rented out his army for numerous movie companies throughout the 1960's and it became a favorite place to shoot large scale "epics" because you could fill out scenes with thousands of extras.

[LIKE1705]

Enjoy!!!... Whahaha

[maki5288]

@PJ3love

FUCKING SHIT !!!

NAZI SCIENTISTS TAKEN TO USA TO FORM NASA FOR THEM ! FUCKING UNGRATEFUL AMERICAN DUMB CUNTS !!!!

[fluffy1931]

@maki5288 ..,fuck you nazi fagtard! Where can the US get a refund for the space shuttle that periodically explodes either upon take off or re-entry?

[maki5288]

@fluffy1931 HANG YOURSELF IN SHAME DUMB MAGGOT !!!

[fluffy1931]

@maki5288 ...,and fuck youself again, assfag.

[fluffy1931]

@maki5288 ..,and go and jump of bridge nazi fagtard, assclown.

[Dbusdriver71]

@maki5288 Taken is too strong a word, those that could willing surrendered to the americans vs. the russians. The contributions the germans made after world war 2 cannot be understared but also the anger at many germans that claim they had no knowledge of the holocaust when the death camps were a relatively short distance from where they lived and worked. but yes, we should be more greatful to the germans, a marvelous people that did both great and terrible things.

[7JDH7NL7]

Ob's stürmt oder schneit,

Ob die Sonne uns lacht

Der Tag glühend heiß

Oder eiskalt die Nacht

Bestaubt sind die Gesichter

Doch froh ist unser Sinn

Ist unser Sinn

Es braust unser Panzer

Im Sturmwind dahin 

[kenpalmer1965]

This was ans still is a great movie. I finally have the DVD after only having only the VHS movie. Neat video.

[AndreHiltre]

If only they had won. Then Europe wouldnt have been taken over by the zionists and flooded with immigrants and fags.

[jackiebaron]

@AndreHiltre

Are you another one of these lunatics who thinks that Europe would be a glorious harmonious place if ruled under the Nazi jackboot and presided over by a demented Austrian homosexual with ideas above his station? Stay in your bedroom with your Nazi memorabilia until your mum interrupts your Hitler saluting in the mirror by calling you down to tea, you clown. Let the rest of us enjoy OUR Europe. I'm off to shag a lovely black woman.

[AndreHiltre]

@jackiebaron

You clearly have no education so I wont bother making an intellectual argument to peasant. If you have any relations with women, (which is unlikely), then go ahead, you dont need to tell strangers that you're off to have sex. Ha Ha, you're a retard.

[redvdub70]

seig heil!

[sparklingshiraz1]

thanks for translating it sounds just as good in english shit hot song with a crackin stompin beat keep coming back to listen to it

[hotsauce3888]

I friggin work out to this song.. I'm no skin head or anything.. it's just.. this song's the shit

[GrizzlyBear672]

1) In the 1960's I doubt there were any operationable Tigers left... most would be in museums... so M47's were best generic match.

2) The M3's could have been captured and used by the Germans.

3) To make the film a little more authentic they could have shown WW2 footage of actual German tanks.

Still one of my all time favourite movies.

[ColbertNation88]

and left out the desert.

[Killerh4mster]

The German Halftracks are American M3's

[Silnius]

nothing better than sgt. Guffy and his Chaffee m24.

[christof139]

Too bad Spanish Army M-47 Pattons were used as Tigers. Palm trees can be seen on the horizon as the Germans walk away in retreat at the end of the movie; filmed in Spain.

[PitbullNL]

@christof139

Because it cost too many money to let a few original WW2 tanks drive and stuff.

They use alot of gas and stuff

[salinagrrrl69]

@christof139 Spanish Tanks? Spanish troops? Well at least they were geniune Fascist troops n armour.

[UpperKunt]

@christof139 I agree but whats the option here? Build 300 new King Tigers, and 400 Panthers? :P CHEERS!

[wirbelw2]

@christof139 Yes, there were cheap effects and plot features, but keep in mind this film was made in the early 1960's, when standards of realism were quite a bit lower. The Spanish army, which used both the US M24 Chaffee tank (substituting for US M4 Shermans apparently) and the US M47 Pershing (substituting for Tigers, apparently), was a fairly good substitute for the real thing. Today is the 67th Anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge (December 16th, 2011). Honor to all the fallen.

[PitbullNL]

@christof139 Yea, and also notice the total lack of SS ribbons on their uniforms ;)

[wittman68]

faites des films de guerre avec de vraies chars allemands!mdr!!

make a warmovies with a germans reals tank!!!

[TheAribom]

The Sherman Tank Rules!

[lukic007]

Hehe unser Panzer!!

(ich bin deutsch)

[amigacorazon]

太好 ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡

这 是, 很漂亮 ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡

谢谢您 。

[Traene67]

its composed by a lieutenant Wiehle in 1933:

Ob's stürmt oder schneit,

Ob die Sonne uns lacht,

Der Tag glühend heiß

Oder eiskalt die Nacht.

Bestaubt sind die Gesichter,

Doch froh ist unser Sinn, (2x)

Es braust unser Panzer

Im Sturmwind dahin.

[Traene67]

english: In blizzard or storm, Or in sun warm and bright, The day hot as hell Or bone-chilling be the night, Our faces may with dust be laid, But spirits never fade, (2x) Relentless, our tank Thunders out on a raid. its propaganda, the stuff you hear, see - and ape - in order to make yourself do what others want. well, you know it. ah beechcaster, could you upload some other parts of "kane and abel", please? ;-)

[Reubenhubert]

It's like singing the school fight song at a pep rally. They get all fired up and are ready to kick some American butt.

[JohnQuincyAdams1]

@Traene67 - T

[7JDH7NL7]

@Traene67 Whether it storms or snows

Whether the sun shines upon us

The day burning hot

Or the night freezing cold

Dusty are our faces

But happy we are at heart

We're at heart

Our tank roars ahead

Along with the storm wind

[wittman68]

in this video these are not same German(kingtiger or panther tank)step of the tank which attacks, they are American pershing tank! immense error for a similar film!!erreur immense!!!!!!!

[Rudolf555]

Actually, they're all Patton tanks, m60's. They sure look like them!

[wittman68]

c est quoi ce vieux film de la bataille des ardennes trop naze c est meme pas des panzers allemands c est des tank us pershing, cest qu elle enculé de realisateur qui a fait ce film?

[joydivision75]

ah what!

[RobARug]

@joydivision75

Using Google Translate, I tried to piece this French together:

"What this old film of the Battle of the Bulge. Too nazi. Not even the German panzers. It's the US Pershing tank. What motherfucker director made this film?"

I guess you can't please everybody. Personally, this is one of my favorite WWII movies. Thank you for posting.

[SpaceCowboy641]

@RobARug too less german tanks survived the war. the only solution was to use similar looking tank ...

[garciagar64]

@RobARug There no Panzers tank left! What do you do? You improvise! That's all the mothefucker director did.

[Rudolf555]

fromage du petit pain si?

[dribada]

@wittman68 tout à fait d'accord avec toi mec! Mais malheureusement comme beaucoup de films de guerre américains, ils se sont pas fais chier pour les décors... :/

Ils auraient du piocher dans notre beau musée de Saumur...

[wirbelw2]

@wittman68 Ce film n'etait pas mal pour les annees 60. (J'avais 12 ans.) Ils ont utilise l'armee espagnole, qui avait, effectivement, des M47 Pershing et des M24 Chafees. L'armee espagnole de la periode etait la seule source pour un nombre assez grand de chars, et les M47 et M24 etait des representations relativement proches des Tigers et les Shermans, respectivement. Rapellez que meme dans Private Ryan, on a utilise un T34 modifier a rassembler un Tiger. C'est pas facile.

[Antoineboutevin]

@wittman68 ses clair ses un film des années 70

[beechcaster]

suuuuuuuuuuuuperb vid

[sparklingshiraz1]

could somebody translate it please

[joydivision75]

i would like to know the same thing.......

[Hassar100]

@sparklingshiraz1 Wittman68 roughly said, 'this footage is not from the actual Battle of the Bulge, but from an old film of the same name, made in 1965. (I have seen the film.) The tanks are not Tiger II's as they are claimed to be in the movie, but are late war American Pershing Tanks, used as substitutes I think his last sentence means, roughly, 'do you realize this is a movie?'. Also, The song is a fine rendition of the actual Panzer lied, but only repeats the first chorus.

[YDDES]

@Hassar100 The German "Kingtigers" are actually American M-47 "Pattons". The American M-4 "Shermans" are actually M-24 "Chaffees".

[chengloki]

@sparklingshiraz1 A good translation is in John Ringo's book, "Eye of the Storm" paper back edition, page 356. The book is a great read!!! Give it a look. =Stefan=

[Dizzle242]

@sparklingshiraz1 translation....they are singing about German sausages and Belgian waffles, and how it's hitler's favourite breakfast meal....hope that helps!!

[dennie6666]

@Dizzle242 Ore British what ... Wir Deutschen würden euch von euer kleinen Insel fegen ,immer jammert ihr im Hilfe bei anderen ,weil ihr zu blöde seid was zu machen !Tommi go home and take fish and ships !Und take shit cars !!!

[sparklingshiraz1]

could somebody translate it please

[omltherunner]

can anyone tell me what they're singing?

[TrianonTruth]

One thing everyone has admit, even if they do not agree with the German advances of WW2: The German Military of WW2 was the best looking, most disciplined and best organized Military the World has seen until today. Their UNIFORMS even now are very popular and some Countries are copying the German style of WW2 Uniforms. They were the most advanced too. Rocket technology, Airplanes (the first fighter jets), Tanks and all their weapons are advanced even in todays standards. Nice video...

[DannyBGer]

The german Leopard 2 in one of the best battletanks of the world.
