Alles Gut 👍😆😆😆

@Jan Silver StuG III have ottomotore, not diesel!

Brian Hurley in cover or rolling terrain it's low profile would be a force multiplier

ISU -152 BESTE

the wooden bridge is an "original" WW2 Pionier protocol bridge....so it should bear such a tank..but over the years the wood gets dry...quite risky yes.

BryanME that is a stug 3 tank destroyer.

Yes, the "Saukopf" mantle was used also on the Pz.Kpfw IV but it depended very much on the availability as the Germans had difficulty to produce cast parts especially big as this mantlet. Exactly why I never understood, perhaps because it because of shortage of manpower?

No. It didn't have Zimmerit when it left Finland.

No es un carro de combate, es un cañón de asalto.

It is the historic technical collection of our army located in the Rhine valley close to Koblenz. Yes, a museum.

Unglaublich schön.

Vermutlich nicht viele, bei so vielen Panzerkettenbolzen die seitlich herausschauen.

this weapon system would not stand up to today tech it would be a steel death trap for any taliban, in fact WW2 tanks were used in the palestine/israel conflict.

Yes, our Jagdpanther is in running condition. Watch our Jagdpanther video.

It's just a panzer III hull with a fixed turret 75mm KwK 40.

Angelo Anderson Ah hell yeah

Actually there was a 105mm armed stug..... The sturmhowbitze 42...

Good

Power speed

It wouldn't be mobile and armored enough, and that's just the tip of the mountain of problems you would have

If they could fit a 105mm they could have installed the 88mm. The chassis is maxed out.

That's because it was cheaper to make. Tiger IIs were expensive. Panthers had mechanical problems. They should've made more panzer IVs.

@@srujan00 It took longer to made a panzer IV than a panther. The panther was the first german mbt, which was designed for mass production. They made ca 8000 panzer iv from 1936 till 1945 and they made ca 6000 Panther in only two years. What is often forgotten, is that the panzer IV shares the same mechanical problems since spring 1944, which are faulty final drives, bad sealings and bad bearings. Bombing campaigns like the "Big Week" only had a low impact on the output of the german war industry, but they had a huge impact on production quality.

ja, habe ich selbst gesehen.

I'm just sorry for the carefully made cobblestone road.

The gun is a 7.5cm StuK 40 L/48. Not a 76mm

No they couldnt. If they could have, they would have. They lacked the resources. It's not as simple as say 2 StuG per Panther. The gun, the bearings, the rare metal is quite close to being the same. Also two StuG use more gas than one Panther. Two StuG take more man hours and the Germans didnt have enough slave workers and those they had, were not reliable nor effective. One Panther, with a turret, is worth more than two StuG. The KD ratio for the StuG was only vs tanks and HTs. But a Panther is a real tank and was highly effective against infantry as well. The StuG, less so. The 75mm of the Panther had a larger and more precise HE shell than the M4. The SuG was a hell of a great support and defensive vehicle, but Germany needed a medium tank aka main battle tank, and they chose the Panther, seeing the Pz4 had reached its maximum capability and the Panther was more effective to produce. And in 44 Germany severely lacked trained tank crews. No point in having green 2 week trained crews in 22.000 StuGs. Better armored real turreted tanks were far more effective and required less crew than twice the StuG numbers.

Are you sure about the kills I know that the tiger had very few produced but the amount of kills reported by them is outrageous and amazing.

@@wehrtechnischestudiensammlung ok danke

Well, I wouldn't switch from a reliable vehicle with proper power/weight ratio to an over-weighted aka HEAVILY under-powered sitting steel duck wich loves to break down and set fire. Without a fight. Just by moving itself around ;)

That are spare wheels. The crew took spare parts in the field. So they could fix problems during the battle. Side effect: additional armor.

they are just spares, just like a spare tire for your car

Spare ones in case you get a broken wheel.

No room in the trunk for the spares.
