  • @MomentOFtruth666 Fail!These companys stopped financing him much earlyer. The reason was, that he tried to destroy the russians completely. He banned a whole Heeresgruppe in Leningrad, to kill the whole population. If he just conquered the City, the "Heeresgruppe Nord" were able to fight together with the "Heeresgruppe Mitte" against Moscow and the russians had lost. THEN 3 complete "Heeresgruppen" were be able to fight in France and the allies wouldnt have any chance. No need for fairy-tales...

  • The real reason Germans lost is Standard Oil finally stopped selling  oil to Germans around 1943 and Rothschilds stopped financing Hitler's war machine and started investing in rusian communism again.

  • @ToonandBBfan Haha the only thing with better HE than a Tiger I? The ZVEROBOY and the JS-2 tank - there is no debate denying that the 122mm and the 152mm > 88mm KwK 36 in terms of HE work (though the 88mm KwK 36 was easily more accruate, better ROF and longer accurate ranges). What is interesting is though why the British didn't try to uparmor the Churchill to withstand the 88mm KwK 36 gyuns though...

    Hi.

    Yes the Panthers gun whilst a formidable armour penetrater - was less effective than the Panver IV's gun with HE ammo. Panzer IV and Sherman were designed to engage soft targets in support of infantry.

    Tiger tanks were designed to kill tanks but also had great HE power. Tiger was a leap forward in Tank design

  • @ToonandBBfan and like I once exlained the general rule of thumb is the shorter the barrel and pretty much the thinner the shell of a gun with similar caliber (so were' comparing a 75mm M3/QF 75 to the PaK/KwK 42, QF17 pdr and the M1 76mm) means you can have more HE rather than more propellant charges or simply a bigger thicker case hence while you sacrifice AP against general targets its useful as a whole - though if the caliber is much bigger thats a different story in HE :)

  • @ToonandBBfan Hello again! I just realized one thing though the 'shitty QF75mm gun' or the M3 75mm gun; compared to the QF 17pdr on the Sherman Mayfly or Panther's PaK/KwK 42 and M1 76mm guns the Sherman 75mm had better HE performance because unlike these three long barrelled guns the Sherman 75 or the QF75mm gun didn't need a high muzzle velocity nor a bigger propellant charge to allow more force through the barrel; due to this the shell cartridge was lighter and hence more HE could be filled

  • @33sscharlemagne And M1 abrams is COPY of tiger after M-60 "panthercopy" Over 50% of abramses are lying broken after iraqs sand... Mostly enginefailures, some blown to pieces by RPG7vl's

  • @shadowdancerRFW Yea i KNOW without BOMBERS usa wouldnt be still at normandy xD, wouldnt had neverwon...

  • @shadowdancerRFW is little sissy hurt? obviously you are better at crying than war-making

  • @livadi9 i don't care what you think. I know how war goes on better than you ever will.

  • @shadowdancerRFW you are wrong honeypot, moscow is only a city. without it the russians would have fought even harder. Napoleon made th same mistake earlier than hitler, and napoleons army captured moscow... anyway go on to think what happened if... all praise should go to the heroic red army
