An epic engagement during the Battle of Kursk in 1943 where one Tiger tank took on 50 Soviet T-34s in a battle to the death. Unbelievable but true...

I think that the Americans encountered Tigers less than a dozen times on the entire Western front. About half the time, the Tiger broken down before it reached the American lines. Most of the rest were in the Ardennes, and the US didn't have many tanks to block them. Instead, the Tigers overran the front line and then tried to trudge up narrow roads with US AT guns on either side. They didn't fare so well. The StugIII was far more fearsome than the Tiger. It was cheaper and more effective at killing US tanks than the Tiger ever was.

My father was shot in Cherbourg shortly after D-Day but survived the war with two more oak leaf clusters for frag wounds. Most people, if they know anything at all about WW2, know about D-Day, Pearl Harbor and maybe the Battle of the Bulge. Your stories feature the reality of war which is smaller units fighting other smaller units in fights that don't make major headlines because of the large operations that they are part of getting all the attention. I appreciate your work in bringing the stories of these exceptional people to us. Regardless of which nation the soldier is from, they are putting their lives on the line for their nation. Bravery is bravery. The Greeks would have put their names on a stela in stone.

The Tiger was going obsolete towards the end of the war. This is a natural given, nothing weird about that. Doesn't mean the tank was bad. Somewhat overengineered and costly, maybe. The Panther was an excellent successor though. And the Tiger II would have certainly beat the Pershing if it ever came to those two matching up in large scale battles.

Oldest T-34 can knock out a Tiger? Let me tell you something, you only complain about russian bias becouse you don't play russian tanks. When you fight russian tanks it always seems like they have bias on their side but that is only becouse you didn't use them. When you do use them you find out how painful they are to use. Their performance is "meh" overall. Decent armor, decent gun and decent mobility. Most of the time you just complain becouse your tank is extremely compact and a single shot will most likely cripple it or straight up put it out of commision. You face foes you often can't beat and god help you if you get uptiered. The only place that has a right to be called full of bias is 5.7 becouse of the IS-2 but that's about it.

At around two minutes into your excellent video you mentioned the German pulling out pin on grenade, which is possible, but German stick grenades are activated by unscrewing cap at the bottom and then yanking on the exposed string, which was part of a friction ignition fuse

Yeah, but try saying THAT five times fast! More people would be confused by your description than by his 'pulling the pin' generalization - but everybody understood that he was saying that the grenade was live. When he said 'pulled the pin' I was visualizing the actual 'potato masher' mechanism in action, as did many others I'm sure. It in no way detracted from my enjoyment of the video.

True, but strangely when talking British sticky bombs most people expect it explodes seconds after the pin is pulled. German magnetic mines do of course.

One thing about German engineering is that when their equipment worked it was awesome but when it broke down , it took ten and a boy to fix it.

Being inside that tiger taking hits must be like being inside a hot Sana made out of a bell getting hit and ripping your eardrums.

He is a definition of true hero Destroying two T34 with hand grandes proving that ‘ smoking is bed for health ‘ He also showed what a young man of 22 can do with a good tank against overwhelming enemy in desperate times to support his comrades

There was a very similar situation in the fall of 1941 -- a single Soviet tank KV-1 destroyed abot 40 German tanks. Their weak armor-pearcing projectiles simply could not penetrate KV's thick armor, while her 76mm canon kept on destroying enemy tanks one by one...
