Agreed, as a matter of fact I do have many of his books and all three books of the Tiger of witch I'm very proud of it!👍👍

Thank you for your kind words Jan

YES....this cannot be said enough as someone who has done oral history with Vietnam Vets years ago.Many of those folks are gone now and the information and stories I taped will never appear in the "official" reports.

@@snsm6730 Have you published their stories somewhere? I have read about terrible things both sides did, but the only source of those stories were American reports, I would love to read what happened from the point of view of the Vietnamese!

@@teaser6089 I recommend Ken Burns documentary on the Vietnam war it is the best done yet showing both sides. I know its not a book but its a very well done Documentary. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZpxlitOXyN_Io58.html

She just keeps on smiling! 👍

i was just thinking that. she looked so happy everytime he said Maus.

It is obvious within seconds that not only is she in her happy place but with someone she must regard as a personal hero. It was almost hard to listen to him intently and watch her reactions at the same time. I am going to have to check that book out, sounds like he is full of great stories. Glad Fort Benning gave them access and let them shoot this.

I cannot look at the tanks at the same time sofi is on screen 😳, I just cannot take my eyes off her gorgeous smile and eyes !, I’ve tried.. it’s impossible 🤪

At first I wasn't sure who this pretty lady was or her goals here so I watched a couple of her videos and saw that she's seriously bit by the OD green or AKA: tank bug and is serious. A smart person asks open ended questions that require thought and I can tell by body language of all parties, they relax more around her and tell some interesting stories we never heard from these same professional historians we've spent hours watching over the years. And I really appreciate how she shows respect and gratitude to the Veterans that tell what they know and experienced. I've frozen my ass off in a Halftrack in Bastogne for three days during the event while wearing original uniform and field gear so operating a tank in those conditions is no where near glamorous or fun filled, lol.

That sounds AMAZING! C-130 is amazing, can't imagine being that close up much less getting to operate the ramp. Right on!

That's SO kind of you! Thank you so much!! It's always such a treat to visit NACC and Bill teaches me so much every time I get to watch him talk tank. I love the crew out here and I'm happy to help however I can! Hope to meet you as well one of these days! Cheers, Sofi

YES!!!

YES

@D Bo *laughs in pzgr 40 hvap*

@D Bo It isn't as OP in RL as it is in WT, they didn't perform super well during the war, and in RL to name one major difference, the turret is actually manually traversed by the pre existing gearbox in the Flakvierling 38 mount, instead of electrically driven as in WT. I've seen that the max traverse speed is 30 degrees a second, and I think that is fast seeing the mechanism in person. Also the 9 sided turret wasn't properly designed as the center of gravity is approx. 6" off center from the turret ring centerline. This meaning that if the vehicle was on a slight slope, the turret shell would want to rotate one way. The traverse on it was so bad that on newsreel footage, you can see one other person on the engine deck pushing the turret to assist the gunner in traverse.

Is your kidney properly waffenamted?

Do share them with Hillary and her.

Lot of Maus turrets and and hulls? Nonsense. Pics or it didn't happen.

@@AKUJIVALDO See the Dec 2018 issue of WWII magazine. They published one of the photos in the letter section.

She has that WWll look.

Old Ferdinand would have sent her to a concentration camp. She has dark eyes and is not really blonde.

@@MarMar-nq9ii Most Nazis are not blonde.

Busted!

@Patrick Ancona From the irish side of the Dönitz family? =P

WTF?

Oh yes. I see it.

Not quite, it was in UK for testing, paperwork was found saying it was to be sent to Bovington - but so far the trail ends there, no one right now knows what happened to it, the curator was asking if anyone has any possible info as they ever got it

Indubitably! One might remark of her effervescence ... uh no ... that's a bit much ... remark of her alacrity.

@@rayw3332 She is perfect.

@@Uncle_Neil Sofie is almost ... I say ... almost ... uniquely beautiful. Though any guy must also worship a good-looking woman that has not an ounce of fat on her body. Can you imagine(?) ... "Good morning, goddess."

The Irish accent is also required

@@madpeddler8263 My GF is a 6'2 inch Irish redhead. Accent is standard, but yes....

Title it The Ammo Feed and you're good to go.

Yes! Unfortunately, the halftrack video we did has very severe sound issues. Im still working to correct it with software, chances are I'll have to film it again. Some great stuff, I have two of his books with halftracks already and I need some more!

@@Sofilein Lovely to hear, stay safe

Lowe was a Krupp propossed project I believe.

The Lowe, I read somewhere, was supposed to be the Panzer VII. And yes, it was a sleek powerful looking super heavy tank, 85-95 tons. Much more streamlined in appearance than the Maus. The turret had a similar Soviet T-62 “inverted frypan” appearance that also gave the tank a lower profile. I think it was to have a 10.5cm muzzle-braked main rifle.

hope it is on!
