Best Tank of WWII?
The Bob Semple Tank.
Ok, maybe the title is a tad hopeful for an armored vehicle nicknamed “The Septic Tank”, and “Semple’s Pie Cart”. On the other hand, the Semple Tank has in recent years attained online meme status thanks in large part to ‘War Thunder’ tank gamers. Anyway, today at Ulysses Files we will take a look at the phenomenon that was, that is, The Bob Semple Tank…
ULYSSES FILES is a KZread channel dedicated to showcasing primarily military history content (plus certain other topics) in short documentary form, featuring interesting and quirky characters and stories from the late 19th Century on through the 1st and 2nd World Wars to the present.

Thank you for responding to my suggestion! I saw this documentary and clicked on it immediately! It never saw action on the battlefield, but I think that's lucky on the Axis' part. Simply no piece of military engineering whatsoever can withstand this amazing beast of a weapon!

After noting your suggestion and looking it up it was just too tempting not to do immediately kiwigaming! And what a tank !! 😄
Even the name "Bob Semple" sounds like a meme.

a pill box on tracks a lot better then a fox hole you have to dig every time you move

Very true 👌🏻
Never heard of this so this was a very fascinating documentary. It also reminds me a lot of the Bison, a Bedford truck that had concrete armour and was armed with four machine guns, making it a mobile pillbox that was put into service only months after Dunkirk & used as a airfield defence vehicle.

Hey Croc good to see you - yes the Bison - great stop-gap design. Might make an interesting topic to cover one day 😁
Nice to see your channel actually responds to viewers suggestions @UlyssesFiles. Might I suggest a topic? May 7 is the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Dien Phu... ))

It’s a bit of a tight schedule considering it’s the 3rd today- but yes great suggestion cheers 🍻
What do you think of the Bob Semple? Hopeless or might it have been useful? ❤❤

Under the circumstances, and taking into account the enemy they would face, I think the design did a good job utilizing available resources. I had never heard of this machine. Thank you as always for another excellent production.

Yes it would have been ok in some scenarios I think. Stop gap beach defense like a mobile pillbox or airfield defense or something like that 🍻
nice pronounciation of Temuka

Ole Rob was 80 years ahead of his time with his design.. Don't believe me, then look at what Russian tanks look like today with there tanks with corrugation iron wrapped around 😅

Definitely 😂 and those Russ cope cages are doing the job - stopping the fpv drones wrecking them. Maybe the russkis saw Ole Bob in War Thunder 😅
Love this tank - I want 1 😜✌🏻😂
