Fun fact: Parola Tank Museum in Finland was in dire need of funds for an outdoor shelter for some of the tanks, including the worlds only BT-42. Many of the donations they got were from Japan, and they were a bit confused. After a bit of research they found out that it was because of Girls und Panzer: Der Film as the BT-42 was featured in glorious fashion. And that's how a Japanese animated film about cute anime girls battling with tanks helped preserve some Finnish history.

Pershing: Breaks their tracks BT: goes faster Pershing: *Confused Screaming*

My head cannon for the GuP universe is that the Finnish tanking school only has one tank and team at any given time. They never win any matches but they meme the absolute sh*t out of anyone they face off against, giving them a feared and respected reputation. "Oh god! We blew of the tracks... it only made them faster!"

BT-42 -American transmission -Russian turret -British gun -German munitions Only a Fin could come up with something so beautifully insane. Edit: corrections to parts have been made in the replies. 👍 Edit: just wanna say that it’s been over a year and people are still discussing the parts of this Mad Lad of a tank. That’s kinda awesome.

Hetzer IRL: slow but good firepower and well armored GuP Hetzer: *am s p e e d*

Its funny how the bt series were designed by race car designer

Love the big, ferocious grin on her face when she reaches for the steering wheel.

>BT-42 missing half its wheels and reeling at a 45 degree angle >also BT-42 with one last round loaded “I didn’t hear no goddamn bell.”

Fun fact: the BT-42 can actually drive without it tracks but the process was much slower than compered to the anime

Fun fact: Säkkijärven Polkka was used in one of the first or perhaps the first instance of electronic warfare in world's history. When Finns took back Viipuri the Russians left mines behind that could be detonated by playing three tones over the radio waves. The Finns countered this by playing Säkkijärven Polkka on the radio on continuous loop for several hours and prevented the Russians from detonating their mines and stopped only when the mines were all finally defused. ~ZeOverman A couple of additional details: This song was picked for interference because its constantly shifting notes within the range of the detonation signals made for good interference. Second, I am uncertain if they did manage to find all the mines within the time they kept playing the song, but based on studying undetonated mines Finns expected the batteries on the detonators to run out in approximately three months. So I guess they decided to keep it running an extra 50% just to be safe. ~Crowley9 Parolas tank museum in Finland was in dire need of funds for an outdoor shelter for some of the tanks, including the worlds only BT42.

I like how the driver is so happy after the tracks are broken like she wanted them broken 😂

*Person: BREAK THERE TRACKS!* *Team: breaks tracks* *Person: oh shoot there even faster on wheels*

It’s to the point that the enemy tanks just start running away from the Finnish tank. And yes, I'm aware it would be more accurate to call the BT-42 self propelled artillery.

Russian Bias + Finnish Ferocity = BT-42

Gotta respect the Christie Suspension

Everyone here is talking about the history of the song and the history of the BT-42 and how the GuP Community managed to help preserve the last surviving BT-42 in the WORLD, but no one’s talking about how this song just freaking slaps.

never thought I'd see Finland as an anime but now I'm happy.

The driver is my soul animal.

Mad respect for using the Dreadnought’s version of this song. They are extremely underrated.

Inside that tank still looked bigger than my Japanese apartment

this is probably my fav scene from all of GuP

"The difference between reality and fiction... is that fiction has to make sense." Those versed in military history know this best of all ;-) .

Imagine how scary this would be to see this in real life

*finland gets their hands on a BT-42* *polkka instantly intensifies*

my satisfaction is immeasurable, and my day is saved, thank you.

Tanks: Loses their tracks* The song: intensifies**

Poland: Finlandia English: Finland Finland: *Suomi* Russia: *Русский Вьетнам*

I love how the finnish driver is just a little gremlin

A canadian folk punk band cover a finnish song over girl und panzer, best shiet ever. The dreadnought is such a great band!

Laws of Physics: *exists Girls Und Panzer: 1:10

Soviet union joined game Finland joined game Soviet union left game

Genius and Insanity - There is a very fine line between both. Unfortunately (for everyone else in the world who tries to figure out what the heck is going on), the Finns are either too drunk to notice it, or were not at all ever informed such a line exists, (or politely choose to ignore it even is a thing) and thus play with both decks at any given time. Results and mileage may vary, but in general it has been known to work out pretty well.

It's not about winning... It's about sending a message

*katyusha has left the chat*

I’m more attracted to these tanks that are commonly forgotten, the fact that they include everything this tank was known for while also still showing it has its major glaring weakness (armor that might as well be tin foil) is pretty awesome, of course not all of this is really possible, but DAMN I wish this all was true.

1:57 Soviet: "Are you dead yet?" Finland: "lol no :p "

Love the fact she drives the tank like it's a hot rod! 🤣

probably the only tank in the series with realistic speed

Fun fact, that exact maneuver is on the basic Finn driving test.

Tank maker "So how many ways should we make it drivable?" Finland "yes"

I love the euphoric feeling I get from this song. Specially from this part 1:50

Legitimately one of the best films I've ever seen, precisely because of segments like this one. Some of the stunts they pull during the film had me screaming at my TV.

I find it amusing that their tank crew has a musician that is also the gunner

Talvisota in a nutshell.

Every nation: Findland:DEJA VU USA:ooh shit I'm ded

"tracks? where we're going, we dont need tracks"

The friggin BT was funny af Cause it legit is super fast yet looks like a heavy tank THE THING LEGIT DON'T NEED TREADS IT CAN DRIVE LIKE A CAR And also they drifted all over the place

I love how everyone thought that tank was done for and then it drove out of there lol

Nokia tank.

That had to be the most stubborn tank in the whole series.

Karl Gerat: “Troops! Be ready for anything!” Trooper 1: “Anything?” Karl Gerat: “ANYTHING!!” Trooper 2: “The Germans?” Karl Gerat: “Eliminate!” Trooper 3: “The Japanese?” Karl Gerat: “Eradicate!!” Trooper 4: “The Russians?” Karl Gerat: “Bombard!!!” Trooper 5: “What if it’s the Finnish?” Karl Gerat: “. . . Pray.”

Damn weebs are stealing from the vast reserves of power held within every finnish man. wait hold up i don't even remember commenting this when did it get this many likes

For some reason this whole sequence with The Dreadnoughts' version of Sakkijarven polkka makes me so pumped up, especially the moment where the tank bursts out on its bare rollers and just goes full troll-mode

For finnish boy like me, this is pure joy

Fin:Säkkijärven polkka En: Skrigjaargen polka Me: That sound's like a sweden

This scene is a normal day in war thunder with my friends

1:16. When the enemy tanks acquire the ability to drift, you know you are well and truly screwed.

And this, my friends, is why you always wear your helmets inside a tank.

i never thought id see the day, the dreadnougths, and girls und panzer

What I find hilarious is it's going faster than the actual OG BT series and the irl BT-42

I can picture the Finnish Team's parents laughing their asses off watching their girls cause chaos to the other team. Also the timing on this was excellent.

Yeah I like the literal plot armor that tank had. Jumps 40 ft in the air and is still able to work, gets rolled and looses its treads, still able to fight, takes a shot to the side, looses half its wheels, still able to fight.

Playing the BT-42 in War Thunder gives me the same absolute joy that this video does. Pure maniacal laughter.

Describe the winter war in 4 minutes or less. Girls und panzer:

2:00 when the Pervitin hits just right.

When in doubt Send in the finns

Average Finnish Tank during Winter War:

The bt series is an inspiring piece of work

1:18 I can just hear her saying "come her you son of a bi- *tank firing a shell

Люблю это аниме ... очень понравилось

This AMV just reminds me of how much I rush to attack the enemies in WoT Blitz. I would always shoot their butts where it is usually thin.

>Literally appears twice in battle. >Made it in a epic way >Refuse to elaborate further >Leaves

The finnish military in a nutshell.

this is just that one guy in warthunder that doesn't have a good tank and would die in one hit but is just so fast no one can hit him and thus just wins you the game

The music makes it all amazing

This is (one of) the best thing(s) ever.

2:48 The tank doing arab drift

Still more historically accurate than "T-34".

I love it a BT-42 an objectively shit tank knocking out pershings I fucking love anime

2:48 Welcome to the Finland.

The Soviets are scary, but The Fins are infinitely more badass(BT-7 LADS STAND UP!)

That's how I'm coming in the battlefield with my BT-7 art

Nice Cuts,Nice Song,and Good job bro 😘

I'm so glad World of Tanks got an anime adaptation.

Kinda World of Tanks in a nutshell. 👆🏻

1:34 is my favorite part of the whole scene lol

I love the utter chaos energy of this video and song.

White death or Simo Hayha would be proud of these girls and their tank. 😂😅

Im the opposite of a weeb, i love pre cold war japanese history. but i do like it that this anime has given reputation to this tank, finland and säkkijärven polkka! so good job by the creators.

もはや、ここまでやれば、戦闘では無くしてコントだよね😃

The tank was like "you think you got me? Betch i ma turn into an armored car

Esta increíble BT 42. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇫🇮👍🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮👍🇫🇮👍🇫🇮👍🇫🇮👍🇫🇮👍🇫🇮👍🇫🇮👍👍🇫🇮🇫🇮👍🇫🇮👍🇫🇮👍🇫🇮👍🇫🇮👍🇫🇮🇫🇮👍👍🇫🇮🇫🇮👍🇫🇮🇫🇮👍💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

And now in War Thunder

When you see a weird bt coming your way - Panic You shoot it and the tracks are gone - Calm It starts drifting around you on its wheels - Panic

Gotta love the Christie suspension

Fun fact: that move the BT-42 does when it has achieved its final form-driving on only two of its wheels like that-is an American car stunt known as “skiing.” And what are the Finns known for?

PERKELE!!

Just imagine if they added this to the bt tanks in war thunder.... Russian bias would be way to op with the untrackable bt tonk

This variation fits even more with the scene

The enemy tanks: pardon me wat ze fak
