Corrections:<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMHeFfNehmA&t=547">09:07</a>: Only the hull got the additional 30mm, the turret stayed at 50mm. Thanks to Robozgraggi for pointing that out.<br><br>If you want to see more videos in the future, please consider supporting the channel.

The horse was the workhorse of the Wehrmacht.

It sucks because there is only a handful of real military channels and I have been getting a ton of these new channels lately, that are just AI slop. They just use AI to spread completely incorrect information for clicks and views but when I dislike those videos the algorithm punishes legitimate channels likes your because it thinks I don't want to watch real videos like yours.

Funny that the Germans in 42 were using cat eye rear marker lights. The US Army still uses that same light style for night marches.

You can make a good argument that the PzKpfw III -- or at least the <b>chassis</b> -- was the "workhorse of the Heer" when you add up the production of PzKpfw III tanks including command, observation, tauchpanzer, and flamethrower variants, the Sturmgeschutz III in all its variants, and the various limited-production or prototype vehicles based off the PzKpfw III chassis, like the Sturm-InfaneterieGeschutz III, bridgelayers, recovery vehicles, pioneer vehicles, and so forth.

I didn't realise how cramped a tank was until I went on a tank experience day. A Chieftan tank looks huge on the outside, but is tiny on the inside. Some of the umm larger middle aged men struggled to get in

The only WW2 tank design to serve from the beginning until the end. The Pzkpfw IV has a special place in history.
