The Pansarbil m/40 Lynx was very advanced for its day. I like that Carl Johan was in the Lynx as pansarprinsen while Elizabeth was driving lorries in the UK during WWII. Seems fitting to their personalities somehow.

The driver's vision block setup is remarkably modern for a 1930's vehicle.

Very good armored car for prewar - turret is reminiscent of the Panzer II turret. I don’t think the 15 armored cars would have done much to help Denmark against the German Army. Thanks for the videos from Sweden - I’d love to visit someday - have some relatives in Sweden, was told they worked for Volvo, and in Finland. Hope to visit someday.

Great video as always. Please keep them coming, and don't shun modern vehicles. Those are just as interesting as the old ones. Even if more modern ones are lower on the typical museum scale, from the engineering point of view, not less fancy.

Interesting vehicle - just curious, any knowledge regarding what happened to those 3 Lynxes that were already sold and transferred to Danemark 1939. Looks like they destroyed or hidden but not captured at the time of the NS invasion..., because - I dont see any similarities of the design in German scout cars...

@DaSpicker 4 жыл бұрын

They were taken by the Germans and used as police vehicles in Copenhagen and according to some sources also in Norway. A picture of the vehicle exists online with a bit of search. After the war they were scrapped.

@builder396 4 жыл бұрын

First time I saw a picture of this I thought: Why on earth did someone put a downsized Tiger II P turret onto an armored car? Now Im asking myself: Why on earth did they bother with the rear machine gun? Delete the entire crewmember and just give the rear driver a little extra space.

@dmg4415 4 жыл бұрын

Hi! The rear gunner becames the front gunner when scooting "In reverse" very clever, look at Strv 103 S, 3 crew, one of them i the rear driver, full speed a rear with gun pointing at the baddies. In arms development think outside the box, compare the Bradley to every other APC in the world, the tallest guy in town, and nowhere to hide.

What's up with the Swedes and being able to drive both ways with their armored vehicles! So many of them have that double driver's position feature. I guess it was useful for their doctrine, as they kept doing it even though other nations mostly did not.

@borjesvensson8661 2 жыл бұрын

Lots of old narrow roads at the time and tight forrest. The russians did after all get stuck on the few finnish roads quite easily so the ability to reverse out at breakneck speed might have seemed apealing

@Stripedbottom 4 жыл бұрын

Interesting. I vaguely remember that at the time there were other designs too that were meant to be driven in either direction, so this was not totally unique in that respect. Unfortunately, I have never seen any reports or even anecdotes about how useful this would actually have been in real life situations, or if it was merely just a good idea?

Great video on the subject! @Arsenalen: Do you happen to have any information of the colours of the 3 Danish M.1939 vehicles? Black/white photos show them in multicoloured camouflage, but no information seems available on the actual colours. Best guess is, that hey came painted in Swedish colours (sand / green / black), but cannot seem to get that confirmed. Thank you very much in advance!

Sorry, we do not have any information about that but perhaps someone will be able to find it in the archives.

@stefankarlsson9762 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, it is wartime camo even if the colours might be slightly wrong. Most vehicles in the collection have been repainted in the late 1960's or early 1970's. If you look at pictures from the war you will see the same pattern, but on BW pictures it is hard to tell the actual colour.

@PvtMartin78 3 жыл бұрын

I'll never understand why so many designs had a front and back driver.

@JH-lo9ut 2 жыл бұрын

Probably because the role of the scout car is to go look for the enemy. Primarily to gather information, like the light cavalry of old times. You will inevitably run in to opponents that are stronger than you, and then it's time to get the hell out of there. With the rear driver, you can hopefully do so before they even see you. If you have to turn you veichle around on a narrow road, you lose precious time to run away undetected and you expose yourself to the enemy, wich may be in a much more powerful (but slower) tank.

Det är ett aktivt val som vi gjort, dels att sprida kunskapen om museets existens utomlands, men också för att sprida kunskap utanför Sverige om svenska fordon så att det finns andra källor än enbart World of Tanks och Warthunder. Valet vi gjort är därför att presentera på engelska eftersom det ökar spridningen jämför med svenska som textas.
