What was the most underrated German Panzer during the Second World War? It was clearly not the Königstiger, which was likely the most overrated nor the Panzer IV, which is considered the workhorse of the German Armored Forces. The Tiger and the Panther are also quite well represented all over the place. Similarly, the Panzer III gets its fair share of representation as well. Which leaves us with the Panzerkampfwagen I & II. Disclaimer: I was invited by the Deutsche Panzermuseum Munster (Germany).

It covers the basic role of the artillery, the different roles of light and heavy howitzers, the different use of fuzes for different targets/situations, a typical setup and an example of an offensive operation. »» SUPPORT MHV «« » paypal donation - https://paypal.me/mhvis » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/mhv » subscribe star - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view?language=en_GB »» MERCHANDISE - SPOILS OF WAR «« » teespring - https://teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized » SOURCES « H.

The 8.8 cm Flak (Flak 18, 36, 37 and 41) is famous or infamous for being a tank killer in World War 2. Yet, this weapon was by its designation an anti-aircraft gun. This raises the question: Why was there a armor-piercing ammo available for this gun during the Battle of France (1940)? Was it designed as a multi-purpose gun from the start, later on or was is the background for this? »» GET OUR BOOK: Army Regulation Medium Panzer Company 1941 German/English - http://www.hdv470-7.com/ »» SUPPORT MHV «« » paypal donation - https://paypal.me/mhvis » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/mhv » subscribe star - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view?language=en_GB »» MERCHANDISE «« » teespring - https://teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized » SOURCES « Jentz, Thomas L.: The Dreaded Threat.

In this Alternate History Drachinifel, Military Aviation History and me look at the possibility and chances of an "early Afrika Korps". We look at a lot of data, the different sides and several aspects, like Malta, submarines, oil, different approaches, etc. Of course, it gets overly complicated, although we simplified quite a lot, e.g., we left out most of the political aspects. Additionally, you gain quite some insights in what was going on historically. »» SUPPORT MHV «« » paypal donation - https://paypal.me/mhvis » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/mhv » subscribe star - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view?language=en_GB »» MERCHANDISE «« » teespring - https://teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized » SOURCES « Fennell, Jonathan: Fighting the People’s War.

The Vietnam War was quite different in many ways, especially when it came to artillery combat and tactics. Since in a regular war, your artillery sits usually a considerable distance behind the frontlines. Yet, Vietnam was a war without fronts. One of the key innovations in terms of artillery combat during the Vietnam War was the "firebase" or "fire support base". »» SUPPORT MHV «« » paypal donation - https://paypal.me/mhvis » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/mhv » subscribe star - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view?language=en_GB »» MERCHANDISE «« » teespring - https://teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized » SOURCES « US military: Fire Support Base Crook, June 1969, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fire_Support_Base_Crook_1969-06.jpg Ott, David E.

The Kriegsmarine in the late stages of the Second World War employed several midget submarines and explosive speed boats, these vehicles are often called “desperation weapons”.

The Flak 88mm is often portrayed as a Wunderwaffe that could one shot kill most or even any tank in World War 2. The question is, does the claim of the one-shot kill hold up to data we have available or not? For this we look at data from Flak units, but for context also US Tank Destroyer Units, German Sturmgeschütz Units and Tiger Battalions as well. »» GET OUR BOOK: Army Regulation Medium Panzer Company 1941 German/English - http://www.hdv470-7.com/ »» SUPPORT MHV «« » Paypal Donation - https://paypal.me/mhvis » Patreon Perks » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/join/mhv » Subscribe Star Community - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » YouTube Membership - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK09g6gYGMvU-0x1VCF1hgA/join » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view?language=en_GB »» MERCHANDISE «« » teespring - https://teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized » SOURCES « Jentz, Thomas L.: The Dreaded Threat.

The Japanese Tank Arm (戦車兵科) is often disregarded due to its comparatively "weak" tanks during World War 2. Yet, the Japanese were actually among the leading nations before World War 2 when it came to tank development although they only started in the 1920ies to produce their tanks. In this video we take a look at the development, the background, the Type 95 Ha-Go, the Independent Mixed Brigade and the Nomonhan Incident / Battles of Khalkhin Gol (1939).

An example for German Raid (“Stoßtruppunternehmen” ) Tactics on the Eastern Front in World War 2. This video is based on an an example published in November 1942 by the General of the Infantry in the German Army’s General Staff. It was later reprinted in 1944 again, so it was likely a good example that stood the test of time. We look at the situation, mission, preparation, reconnaissance, execution and lessons learned of the mission.
