The first tanks to see action were these 'lozenge-shaped' monsters. I went to Bovington Tank Museum to have a look at some. Don't let the opening title put you off.

Eagle-eyed viewers with good memories may spot that about five minutes of this footage appeared in a video on The Tank Museum's (Bovington) channel a couple of years ago. This video is not about why these tanks are among my favourites (as was the other video) but is instead just talking about the tanks, and this one has several more of them in, whereas the other was just the Mark IV.

I once visited a pioneer village / living museum with a group of college students. Shortly after, a bus load of Mennonites all dressed in homespun showed up and joined our tour group winding its way through the 1830’s village. After the tour, one of the students, a complete idiot, looked over to the Mennonites, turned to me and said “man, it must have cost a FORTUNE to hire all those re-enactors!”

It must have been absolutely terrifying to see these coming towards you in combat. There is something distinctly alien about the appearance of early tanks, and seeing these approach you at a crawl, with the engine growling, treads clanking, and grinding, and guns firing... must have felt about as close to being attacked by an alien invasion as possible.

For what it's worth, the Bradley hasn't had gun ports for a hot minute- the M2A2 version did away with that in 1988. You may also be interested to know that those ports weren't designed to use the infantryman's M16, they used the M231 Firing Port Weapon, a modified version of the M16 that fired from an open bolt, had the buttstock removed, and had no sights. They were supposed to be aimed by walking tracer ammunition to the target, but a combination of only using standard 30-round mags and the blisteringly high fire rate of an open bolt meant they were virtually useless, which is why they were done away with just 7 years after they were introduced.

Actually the reason why Fascists are called Fascists is due to that very bundle of sticks. The world's first Fascists were not German but Italian. Mussolini called his party Fascist as a sort of political message. The Italian for the bundle of sticks is (sorry my Italian spelling is shonky) is Fascisti. Mussolini decided that he should call his party Fascist because one stick on it's own would not do berry much but a bundle together would not easily bend or break. He put that thought towards people one person couldn't do very much but together on a group could do anything.

I personally love the history behind the first world war above the second, its just so intriguing when the old world meets the new world. Tanks with pidgeons for messaging or massive assaults like warfare of old, or cavalry with modern guns. The whole concept of the industrialisation and aspects of life before and no one really understood how to best use it all atleast initially. However for all that its also one of the most horrifying, grusome and horrible wars that took place in human history.

2:02 One would not, in fact, find a sponson "on a dreadnought of old." By the time HMS Dreadnought was conceived of, much less built, Royal Navy battleships had ceased mounting guns in sponsons and had largely switched to armored turrets. Sponsons are thus a feature of *pre*-Dreadnought warships, especially early pre-dreadnoughts.
@b-chroniumproductions3177 4 жыл бұрын
HMS Orion had sponson style guns mounted on her superstructure. Other nations utilized them even more, with quite a few Japanese dreadnoughts having sponsons below deck level. I even believe the USA continued putting sponson secondary guns on their cruisers up until the end of WW2. They weren't as useful as turrets and weren't used for main guns, but sponsons were definitely used on dreadnoughts.

Well it doesn't have to be mounted in a sponson that sticks out. It could just be mounted in the hull, casement secondaries !

Lindybeige, another great video man, thumbs up! The following paragraph might seem a bit unrelated but ill write it anyway. Im a subscriber of your channel for quite some time now and ive seen that you have done a marvelous job at covering many aspects of ancient history and in particular ancient warfare but i wasnt able to find anything relating specifically to the clash of Roman and Macedonian Empires in the Battle of Pydna, and i think it would be a very interesting subject for a future video, and given that most of your videos are quite lenghty, i think this channel is the perfect place for a talk about it. If you ever get to read this suggestion, that on its own is already a big reason to thank you!

Makes this already very British video a hundred times more patriotic! Strictly speaking, when purely instrumental as here this tune is actually an extract from Gustav Holst's Jupiter. "I Vow To Thee My Country" is merely one of the later lyrical versions set to the original instrumental piece.

The first tanks were made by a company in the English city of Lincoln called Fosters, a company known for making farming machinery. The company and those workers, directly involved were told, to not tell anyone about the ‘Land Ships’. According to the story I was given many years by the people at Fosters. A visitor asked what are those big water tanks were for. An engineer who had just read a newspaper article of the importance of getting water into the front line, just said yes it’s a tank. And this became a cover story, right up to the point of going into action. Must have been disappointing to those Tommies. Grabbing kettles and teapots to get a good brew on. Fun fact: The Tommies would Fire machine guns each evening because they were water cooled. The water boiled quickly and was used to make the tea. However oil in the gun often spoilt the Tea. Should they be short of water, military ordered the Tommies to pee in the gun’s water jacket. Any soldier peeing in the platoon kettle would have been very unpopular. So those water tanks were needed.
