One of the most famous Tiger battles took place on July 8th 1943 during the Battle of Kursk when supposedly a lone Tiger under the command of Franz Staudegger destroyed 22 T-34s. The Soviet's fielded a total force of 50 to 60 Russian tanks. How could 1 tiger hold against that many tanks? This episode is still hotly debated. What really happened there? We use both German and Soviet sources to shine some light on the incident and show you both sides of the story in this film.
For the German side we used internet articles “Panzer Aces Wittmann and Staudegger at Kursk” and “Revised footnote on Staudegger” by Christopher A. Lawrence, and also “Franz Staudegger - German Tiger Ace in the Battle of Kursk” by Evan Pinter.
For the Soviet side we looked through archive documents in Russian, scans of which can be found on the site of TsAMO, “Memory of People” page. First one is ”Excerpt from the War Diary of 26th Tank Brigade from June 23rd to July 6th of 1943”, second - "Combat Directive for units of 2nd Tank Corps for July 7th - July 8th 1943”, and third - "After-action report of 2nd Tank Corps for July 1943”.

The two-perspective approach gave me a striking moment... At first, I am like, "Hell yeah, Tiger, get them!", with Staudegger doing cool one-liners and coming up as a battle hero... ...but then we see the Russian perspective, begin rooting for Raigorodskii, and, suddenly, the VERY Tiger tank shot seen earlier through the German perspective as a glorious moment hits his tank and kills him and his crew, and the moment goes from feeling glorious, to just... sad. That's what basically what war is about, and this evoked the feeling to perfection. After all, behind every armored vehicle, behind every sight, are human beings who die because of some people sitting in a desk hundreds of km away.

You should do another episode about the battle of Kursk about the Tiger that refused to die. There was one Tiger that went into battle, got hit by tank guns, anti tank rifles, had it's Mg destroyed, the main gun got hit and froze in place, the fuel and oil tank ruptured but it survived the battle and later returned to base pulling a thick black line of fuel and oil behind it. Imagine being a soviet soldier: you threw everything against that one tank then it turns around and drives home.

Like how some people can drive cars and some people manage to go in the ditch on a sunny Sunday afternoon. More relative to me, forklift skill varies a huge amount even among skilled drivers. Elite tank operators are just like anything else, the best of the best. So yeah the Tiger gets a little more credit than it's due. A good machine though is a good machine, and there's a lot of differences.
@paulgrundy6864 7 днів тому
Deciding tiger crews was understandably picky, there were only about 1,000 of them produced total. A good crew can make any tank seem like an absolute powerhouse, but the Tiger’s scarily effective armor and range combed with the experienced crew made Tigers scary to fight for a reason. I do think the tank itself gets some undeserved credit that the crew really earned.

@@F.R.E.D.D2986 it was so "terrible", the Germans made the Panther as reaction to counter it. In fact the T-34 had his issues, but a 76mm gun was enough to counter all German tanks of its time. It could possibly penetrate a Tiger I armor. Also the angled armor of the T34 was quite successful. But on the Internet you will read a lot of Bullshit when it comes to tanks, especially with "it could not deal with a Tiger". Even a lot of people consider the Sherman as a bad tank because of this. Fun fact: Most tanks are not meant to deal with a tank, espcially not a heavy one. Tanks have a lot of different battlefield tasks. Also there have been only 1500 Tigers and a few hundred Tiger II. Most bridges and port cranes at these times could not deal with more than 30 tons, so it is stupid to blame advancing armies likes the late war Sowjets and US for not using much heavy stuff. So the T34 and the Sherman in all its variants have been quite successfull tanks of there time.

IS-2 is superior to Tiger 1 in the shell size penetration, range of gun, and armour (frontally).

However it should be noted that most of those German "tanks" were just light tanks like the Pz I and Pz II (which literally only had machine guns for armament) and perhaps some early PzIII which only had a very weak gun Of course it is the same with the early T34 vs Tiger (the early T34 also had no realistic chance against the Tiger) Tank development and tank design evolved so quickly in a very short time In just 3-4 years from light tanks to big massive heavy tanks The Soviet KV1 / KV2 and the British Matilda and Churchill tanks were the strongest tanks at the beginning of WW2 in 1940 Then a few years later came the German Tiger and Ferdinand in 1943 that completely dominated the battlefield. And another year later in 1944 came the new Soviet IS-2 heavy tanks that could effectively counter those German heavy tanks again It was a constant arms race, but the Soviets and Americans had the most mass produced tanks, which gave them an advantage on the battlefield And of course the Allies also had 4 times more infantry men in their armies, which was also a very important key factor for deafening the Germans

@@Cardinalist thats because Germans produced lesser tanks than Soviets who were just pumping out mass produced tanks.out of the 1400 tigers hardly 6 remain out of which only one is operational remaining all were completely destroyed of abandoned by their own crew due to the beautiful fuel efficiency and reliabilty and Soviet aces like Oskin destroyed 3 king tigers in ogledow using inferior t34 85 out of 500 king tigers produced.if Germans produced more,Soviet kill counts too will be greater.also German kill counts were highly inflated for propoganda and you can see that right in this video's end

@@preemavivek2008Well, my commie comrade, why th heck did the Soviets produce so many tanks if 1 on 1 was enough, if more tanks resulted in only higher casualties? huh? Oh, I remember, you choose Quantity over quality. Anyways, if you think destroying 3 experimental heavy tanks with one medium tank is enough for an ace, then I bet over over a quarter of the German panzer force were aces. Atleast, don't use propaganda here. Everybody knowns the potential of Soviets too in delusional propaganda

@@Cardinalist my n@zi kameraden if you need to win a war you need a large quantity of tanks.tank on tank engagements were rare and the primary role of the tank was to support infantry and storm strongpoints.in this role,the Soviets required large numbers of tanks to supply their vast infantry units.the t34 might have not been the best but it got the job done and was always there to support infantry attacks unlike tigers for instance which were rare.German propoganda inflated kill counts and you can see that right there in the end of the video concerning staudeggers kills a brilliant example of how Germans counted kills.and only 3 king tigers because there were only 500 produced which is shabby when compared to 50,000+ t34

I really like the perspectives and the use of German and Russian language here, great job. It's interesting that a lot of the understanding of Kursk as a whole has come from Soviet sources that have only recently begun to be challenged as unreliable. There are also some German-led myths that pervade to this day, such as the idea that the offensive was called off because Hitler diverted units to Southern Italy. I think in this case it's fairly apparent the Germans embellished the role of Staudegger (who died in 1995, not 1991) for propaganda purposes, but the overall nature of the battle was more or less as they depicted it.

Я русский. Друг моего деда был артиллеристом в той войне. В чем именно их мемуары " Не надежные " И " Сомнительные". Да, тигр взять в лоб т34 в 43 году не мог. Вот только под Курском большую долю машин немцев подожгли противотанковые пушки и авиация ил 2. У последнего в 43 году появились кумулятивные бомбы. Причем РККА в 43 году поменяла противотанковую тактику на опорные пункты обороны вместо сплошных линий. Поэтому немцам и не удалось окружить Курск. Ибо на борьбу с танками направили и зенитки и самолеты с танками. Причем после того Как тигры сожгли корпус генерала Кравченко, тут же было приказано откопать т34 рядом с артиллерией и пехотой. И это принесли результат. Так что не стоит думать, что немецкие танки утонули в массе советских трупов как в фильме " Враг у ворот".уже после Курска, под Харьковом, немцы собрали остатки их тигров и пантера и попытались отбросить от города РККА. Те их разбили на голову.

T34 Production Number: 80,000 Tiger Tank Production Number: 1400 57ish t34's for every Tiger. Yeah, tell that to the German Main in Wartunder. But it was a good attempt before the germans realized the Soviets Rushed B.

The only thing that worked out well for me was the German tank commander,(8:03) especially the Tiger tank commander would never turn the tank sideways as you see in the video, the clover leaf method was used for this, thanks to which the commander knew at what angle he could allow himself to approach the enemy tank.

One small detail I will say that bothered me a bit was the Russian 76mm shells not penetrating the side of the Tiger which was only 80mm thick. Documentation on the battle is very difficult and is probably just for cinematic purposes. Great video though!

I think it would be interesting if you did videos covering stories from the smaller powers in WW2 - Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Greece, Yugoslavia, etc. They had very interesting stories that barely anyone hears about just because they are from the less well known countries, and all stories should have the chance to be told and remembered.
