(2/5) TANKS! Steel Tigers (GDH)
SUBSCRIBE TO EXCELLENT WORLD WAR II VIDEOS This episode of TANKS! examines the development of tanks (More) SUBSCRIBE TO EXCELLENT WORLD WAR II VIDEOS This episode of TANKS! examines the development of tanks from 1918-1945 The British were the main developers of tanks and tank warfare during World War I. In fact Britain was the first nation to coin the word; tanks! A tank was a cover story for armored vehicles actually containing water reserves rather than a weapon. The 400 tank attack at Cambria was considered a limited success. The Germans, who possessed little tank warfare ability, was impressed at the scope of the offensive. At the outbreak of World War II German forces relied heavily on the Panzer I and II. The Panzer I was nothing better than a light half-track with a 7.92 machine gun. The Panzer II possessed little use as an anti-tank platform. The Panzer II possessed a 20mm cannon. During the invasion of France, the French actually possessed superior tanks. The Char-B and S-35 armor plating and cannon was superior to the Panzer III and IV. However, the Germans tactics, radio communication and coordination with air force units, was far superior to the Allied Forces. Prior to the 1941 German invasion of the Soviet Union, Germany suffered from victory disease. They did little to improve their vehicles. During the initial offensive into the USSR the fast but vulnerable T-28 and BT-7 were little match for light anti-tank guns and tactics. The Soviet vehicles were lost by the thousands. The first appearance of the Soviets T-34 was believed to be in central Russia. The emergence of the T-34 was an incredible shock to the Germans. The 37mm and 50mm anti-tank cannons simply bounced off the T-34s armor. Only anti-tank infantry teams and 88mm duel-purpose guns could defeat the T-34. The Germans answer to the T-34 was the Tiger and Panther. Both were superior to the T-34. Despite initial teething problems the Panther would emerge as probably the best tank of World War II. The Panther had excellent sloped heavy armor, a high-velocity 75mm and great road speed. The King Tiger would emerge as the most powerful tank of World War II. British and American tanks were at least a year behind the USSR and Germany. The Sherman armor protection and firepower was woefully inadequate to combat even the Panzer IV. The Sherman suffered from a distinctive high profile and was a simple target to hit. The Sherman Firefly possessed a 17 pounder (77mm) cannon and could penetrate the Tiger and Panthers side armor at distance. However, the Firefly was developed for use in the British Army only.
