Sound of WW II Maybach

First start of engine taken from World War II semi-propheled gun StuG III (or tank PzKpfw III). What a beautifull sound and what a terribly place.
Somewhere in Poland. Anybody knows where?

are you stupid ? they never fitted german MAYBACH engines into AMERICAN shermans,this was would of been out of a panther or tiger tank

[FiveCentsPlease]

No. The Bf 109 V1 prototype was fitted with a Rolls Royce Kestral V12. The Bf 109 V2 was fitted with a Jumo 210A engine. Later prototypes and early production planes switched from the Jumo engine to the familiar DB engine.

@corvettels9 Its just you. Your comparing an autompbile motor to a tank egnine which while similar in the german case they did things differently but it still operated just fine.

is it just me or are the manifolds on backwards? cause the flywheel's in the front...?

@UBIQUEROL Only the M4A3 had the Ford V8. The original M4 and M4A1's had radials. Basically the same thing mechanically a sthe earlier M3 Lee/Grant. That's whay they are so tall. Had to design the hull to accomodate the radial engine. The M4A2 had two 6-71 GMC diesels. Almost all were given away under lend-least except for a few used by the Marines in the Pacific.. Then there's the M4A4 with the 30 cylinder Chrysler ( five 6 cylinder engines arranged in a radiial fashion). All were lend-lease.

@xX0rt4Xx yea but + 4 cylinders and the intake manifold and heads are WAY different
