Im Krieg baut man Fahrzeuge für einen bestimmten zweck und doch keine Designikonen... Welchen Zweck hat also diese besondere Form?

Diesel Punk Batman would love that thing

Bravo Michael.

Very cool!

So nice hearing that original petrol sound. Most restorations use a modern v8 or diesel engine (Understandably why of course), but nothing beats the sound of an original engine.

Wonderful video, thanks for sharing. Great job bringing the vehicle back to life to show living history.

He's right...we don't have long on this Earth...and I get the bit about leaving a legacy. I started rebuilding WW2 vehicles when I was well into my 40s...a bit late on the scene...but I'm determined to get my 4 back on the roads before I kick the bucket..

The only model of its type in the World....that's rare...

Nice, to see 1 saved, I spent a while playing Wargames sending those off to "Find" the Enemy, not many were used twice, maybe that's why they are Rare ...

Similar to the one's used in South Africa with V shaped anti mine hull🤔

Is this a Cybertruck?

looking forward to seeing more🙂

Ein Wunderschönes Stück! Danke für die Restaurierung und das Video. Allzeit gute Fahrt damit.

Great

They very cleverly drove them backwards into Poland, so that the border guards would think they were leaving.

It great to see a vehicle this rare driving about, as another person wrote, I want one, thanks for showing this vehicle, best regards from Australia, Les

Extremely cool vehicle...wow...

Bringing history back to life!

I want one

Hearty rumble

The ballistic shape of this vehicle was far ahead of its time a lot of our modern armored cars kind of have the shape it’s always been one of my favorite series of German scout cars

What does the Reuleaux triangular hub shields do? Are they for armor or some thing like using as a cable capstan?

Fantastic! Great job!

Always liked these!

Privileged to have been there to witness this 😊

I want one. Know of a dealer, anywhere?

Nice video gentlemen BUT … Wyllys, Willys and Willis are variant spellings of the same name. The historic Willys Overland commercials-and Jeep promotional documentaries-available to view on KZfaq, remove any possible confusion.

I believe that Willys is actually pronounced Willis, with the Y making an I sound. Important that you get these things correct, I think. Otherwise, a very interesting story.

If you ever visit Sweden - visit Arsenalen in Strängnäs, about 100km from Stockholm😊👍

Thanks Nick

Do you know where the firing trigger for the Jagdpanther is? I assumed the firing trigger was on the elevation and depression handwheel like that on the panther

I always like this turret better. Waaay sexxxier.

It's so German, even the indicator salutes in THAT style. I'm not dissing it tho. 222 is one of my most favorite armored vehicles.

Thank you Hilary. Another superb explication and explanation.

YOU forgot to MENTION that WILLYS was NOT the SOLE builder of AMERICAN Jeeps in WW 2 !! the FORD MOTOR COMPANY built 280 THOUSAND verses WILLYS 363 thousand jeep Vehicles Bantam Motor Company ALSO built 2675 jeeps also ... cheers ~

good work, but, i prefer the original - the Bantam 😊 i suggest reading Denfeld and Fry's book 'Indestructible Jeep', which will tell you how Bantam got screwed by willys and ford.

I love minimalistic cars like the Willys Jeep, the Volkswagen, the 2 CV, the Renault R 4, the Fiat 500. they are way more ingenious than the big cars of their time. Everybody can pile a lot of technology together, but producing cheap light cars, which work. Is a lot more difficult.

New Zealand had a Willys refurbishment factory in Wellington so after a Willys Jeep had spent 6 months on the front line or damaged in the Pacific it was sent back to New Zealand for a total rebuild 🔥

I used to work in the car park at Asda a customer used to come shopping in a fully restored Willeys with all the tools even coils of rope sometimes he'd bring his dog a massive GSD as soon as he got out the dog would jump into the drivers seat sit bolt upright and sit there daring anyone to get too close, it got loads of people studying it

Excellent presentation. None of the fluff, regurgitation of propaganda and unsupported guesses that have plagued TV documentaries right back to the ‘World at War’ series and its accompanying publications, from the 1970s onwards. This is a key reason why, I have watched Nicholas Moran for years.

Remember: The Russians invented sloped armour on the T34... ...please ignore the allegedly sloped glacis plate shown here.🙃

Excellent. The real expert.
