Any video with Hiiary Doyle makes me extremely happy. :)

This Man is a Treasure. I hope he stays around many many more Years at good Health!

Hilary Doyle really knows what he's on about

Super interesting with all the details just casually dropped in that we know to have Tons of research behind them. Thank you.

I love this channel I watched Probably all the videos that they did

This and Firefly were my favourite vehicles in Arsenalen :) been there now a few times lovely place

Another excellent video by Mr Doyle. Thanks Hilary, Stefan et al.

always great to hear mr. doyle speak!

Great intro and great video that taught me a bit about a less commonly discussed vehicle like the gun travel lock being an issue for crew safety. Enjoyed this video greatly!

I always look forward to these tank nerd videos!

Fond memories of building the old Tamiya 1/35 Marder II kit with the "Kohlenklau" decals...

Great point how it allow the saved half track's and gun carriage's used elsewhere.

Marvelous! Like reading the book!

What amazing Hilary Doyle.He must be the world's foremost panzer expert.

In the video Hilary references that the information he is presenting mostly comes from a panzer commander and that the panzer commander notes a lack of ammunition storage for the Marder II. Hilary then exclaims how that reflects the reality of how many shots it took to land a hit. Does anyone know, on average, how many shots were required to land a hit with an anti-tank gun or self propelled anti-tank gun like the Marder II in WW2?

A great fantastic video.

My favorite early tank destroyer

is it just me or does this guy almost sound like he literally wrote the book on German armoured fighting vehicles of WWII?

Thanx so much!

You never hear Mr Doyle complaining about not fitting inside a tank. 🙂

Keep these coming!

best tank ambassador you can get - I watch all his videos from the beginning to the end cause he can hide some gems to the very end and he is taking for the tiny details other rather ignore or do not care for example his profound and fluent pronounciation of german word and terms in a way that native speaker understand what is meant. Usually people do not care about the wrong pronounciation in a way that native speakers do not even recognice the word and have to ask which then leads to a repitition of the word and still no clue. And that point takes a long way to and effort and emphasis to get the things right which are quite the opposite of the british pronouniation like german EI which is pronounced like 'I' while IE is pronounced like a long british "e" like in flee. Weihnachten or Wiehnachten can lead to understanding that Chrismas is meant or weird looks. And he must have taken lots of hours back in his younger years when Internet and machine translation were not available cause it is a long learned achievement and not a most recent gained skil cause he can pronounce Funksprechgerät right, the for british hard to speak "ch" and the ä which means radio device or walkie talkie.

The first German self-propelled gun was a Czech 47mm gun on a Renault 35 tank chassis, the 4.7 cm PaK(t) (Sfl.) auf Fgst. Pz.Kpfw. 35R 731(f). The were in service just in time to join the invasion of the Soviet Union. Obvious, there were no captured Soviet 76.2mm guns to mount on Pz II chassis until after the invasion.

why he knows every detail of anything? awesome!

Love the information in that Commander, on operating etc. but I just wonder if his recommendations were actually enacted or simply ignored because of exigencies of war

I am so used to seeing the Chieftain squeeze into various armored vehicles, making them look rather small in comparison. Hilary Doyle's videos leave me thinking that the vehicles are reasonably roomy and vehicles like this Marder II, built on the relatively small Panzer II, look pretty imposing.

👍👍👍!!!

Wasn't the first anti-tank gun on a self propelled chassis the Panzerjaeger 1?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

any reason that the 2nd road wheel on the right hand side does not match the others ?

The wheel itself matches, but the rubber tire surrounding the edge of the wheel is worn off or missing.

I guess the smaller size of the P II helped in the reconaisanse role to.

Love Hilary Louis Doyle, but arsenal get it running and youre the stug lll

And I thought the Marder was a 38t-conversion ....

Classic example of a name being used too much that it becomes nearly worthless as a distinction. So many Marders with so many differences, and no one ever quite ensured each variant was properly labeled in its own right, leading to confusion for many. I know Mr. Doyle has long bemoaned the German propensity to not use distinct names of vehicle types in many historical documents, making his job very tiring at times. Upside: at least you knew, if someone was sending you a Marder, that it was going to have a better gun than a Panzerjaeger I!

PAK 40 the 70,5cm anti tank gun

@Arsenalen, Sveriges försvarsfordonsmuseum if you want to improve your exhibition you might spend this tank at 12:01 some more love cause I guess decades ago someone must have repainted the tank to show it in good condition and made a mistake afterwards cause if you check the word carefully it is obvious that it means high speed or Höchstgeschwindigkeit which has been shortened somehow but at the end with a wrong letter at the end. It needs a 'w' not a 'v' at the end. And I bet this has not been a mistake by the foreign work force or whomever in the german army cause any german office would have gotten upset and told the commander to write it right, and of cause asap which meant now or till the morning. Therefore I think it had been a post war mistake caused during refurbishing and not having looked on the picture before carefully enough. Not so important but for a native speaker an obvious mistake that would not happen in the army cause if there would have been an instant order to fix it. Even nowadays, cause language and spelling is a cultural treasure we have to care for - not a new idea cause it is over a century old. If you have further question regarding german terms back in the days I can check them for you too. I guess you are keen to get an as genuine tank as you can get in paint is not the most expensive part on a tank. And this one looks really good compared to the one I had seen once in Sinsheim I guess, many years ago.

guns is handheld and canons are on tanks and so...
