This is entirely incorrect. The plow was built in order to allow it to plow cover for infantry, and because it provided extra armor they decided to make it the default option for future tanks. The Swedish military doctrine for tanks was anything but defensive - to quote wikipedia, "The stated Swedish armoured doctrine contemporary to the tank describes an aggressive approach to armoured warfare, even in defensive situations. The design of the Strv 103, with its low profile, was based on protection rather than defensive battlefield behaviour.". Similarly, the contemporary Swedish field manual stated the following, transl. "When firing against tanks and other armored vehicles, surprising the enemy when opening fire and achieving local superiority when it comes to firepower are both very important. Strive for quick and well-aimed fire and to present the smallest possible target to the enemy. " There is a certain quote for the time which really emphasize the aggressivity of the doctrine, but I can't remember it word to word and I don't want to misquote it either. tanks.mod16.org/2016/08/19/stridsvagn-103-was-not-a-tank-destroyer/

I realized this video is a couple years old, and in this age of COVID-19 museum visits may be fewer. But reading the comments, brought back a great memory from 2018 when I took my then 11-year-old nephew the the WWII reenactment in New Hampshire. He had a great time. And, most of the things displayed were the real deal. His smile when one of the guys handed him an M3 Grease Gun went from shocked wonder to "Wow! This is awesome!" That is one highlight of a great day. The museums are great, but add in the reenactments and it was wonderful. Stay safe!

I think when Lindy visited the Tank museum with his father as a 9 year old boy he looked exactly the same as he does now, minus the facial hair. In fact he was probably wearing that exact outfit.

When you make models of tanks as a boy you do indeed tend to develop a more in depth knowledge of those tanks and a level of affection for them. Although I made many models of the Churchill I never developed a liking for this tank at the time, it looked so old fashioned, even by the standards of the day, was relatively underpowered and mounted that peashooter 75mm. However this tank chat has helped to put its usefulness into perspective, so well done sir and congratulations on being such a great storyteller.

The boss of a steel works factory recently told me that tanks got there name from when in secret early development, parts were individually ordered the job sheet would say "tank". As the British steel industry was coming from the steam age it wouldn't be unusual to be working on parts for a tank

A wonderfully thorough, clear, pertinent and enthusiastic video. About being slow as a good for infantry support during an artillery barrage: a friend told me how his French Language teacher had been assigned to a British infantry regiment in WW2. The Breakfast they served the troops was apparently heavier than he was used to, and he said, “You had to stand and fight. You could not run away.”

God, I love this blokes humour and energy. Not scared of being himself.

"Something harmless, like tank." When I hear tank I cry in fear

I think I would love to see a Lindy Beige video just going through "Manual of Arms, Tank, Mk IV"

The Churchill actually did get off the beach at Dieppe. It was that the infantry could not follow and the tanks could not take out what was killing the infantry. SO to help the infantry the Churchills returned to the beach and positioned themselves to help the infantry, which is why you see the churchills on the beach turned side ways. I hate hearing people saying they did not get off the beach when I have hear tankers from dieppe saying they did and read in books on dieppe saying they did.

You might enjoy a visit to the museum that used to be in my old home-town, the US Army Ordnance Museum. It has been moved to Fort Lee, Virginia, and it is essentially "The Noah's Ark of old tanks" (apcs, artillery, etc) occupying a giant acreage. We gad our very own V-2 and V-1 examples. Spent many a happy childhood hour among all that steel.

Steve Koschella Yeah that Cromwell tank was sure was slow; and the Centurion was useless. Stevie boy seems totally unaware that every nation that took tanks seriously in WWII had different categories of armoured vehicles. Every single one of them - French, German, Russian, Italian, British, American and even Japanese - had armoured cars for scouting; light tanks for more combat intensive reconnaissance and pursuit; medium tanks for open warfare and pursuit; and most had heavy tanks for infantry support and breakthroughs. Almost everyone else had the same division of Infantry and Cruiser tanks. The Germans had Panzer III cruisers, and the early Panzer IV's with low velocity short barrelled guns as infantry support vehicles. Later this division was the Panther - whose 75mm high velocity high explosive shell lacked punch for anti-infantry or anti-artillery work - and the Tiger - the 88mm high explosive shell having much greater punch: but the principle was the same. The French had the Somua 35 for cruiser work, and the CharB for assault work. The Russians had a variety of heavy and medium tanks throughout the war on the same principles. This would be the same British military mindset that Guderian and the Nazis copied for Blitzkrieg. Not the brightest are we Steve?

About the S-Tank. The driver did not move to the back. It was the radio operator who occupied that seat and drove the tank in reverse. He doubled as a highly intelligent rear view mirror. The S-Tank was just as fast going backwards as forwards and with this clever seating arrangement they could get out of harms way in seconds and live to fight another day...

Your mention of the Churchill's ability to move its gun in the forest is spot on. My grandfather fought under Patton at the Bulge. I asked him about fighting the German tanks, especially what he thought of the Tiger. He mentioned that specifically. The 88, while fearsome, was almost useless in trees. He also mentioned the Sherman's ability to move faster than the Tiger's turret could traverse, depending on the range.

Love you Lindeybeige, but as a Swede I have to point out two things: 1 - You make it sound (probably just your phrasing) like the driver of the Strv would switch places to drive backwards. That was not the case as it was the radio operator who did the rearward escape driving if necessary. 2 - As you say the Strv was the Swedish MBT for quite some years, nevertheless it is very common to hear that it was a tank made purely for defence. That might be true in the overall design of the tank but it sure wasn't the case of the tactical doctrine of the armed forces. The tank was considered an MBT and not a tank destroyer and thus would often play the role of attacking the enemy, whether it was other tanks or threats such as infantry. Nevertheless, great seeing you on this KZread channel as well.

@lindybeige

7 жыл бұрын

Yes, there were two driving positions. With a full crew, someone else could drive the tank backwards. I do say that it was the Swedish MBT, and that's what makes it so impressive: that they put their faith in such a radically new design.

My grandfather operated an universal carrier in Italy with the Canadian Army. He said he liked them.

Ever since a first saw a picture of a Stridsvagn 103, I was fascinated. It looked so *odd* for a tank so modern. The Tank Chat made me admire the design lot more. It took a highly unconventional and risky approach, and _made it work!_ So what if armor was thin... its one noteworthy drawback at the time it was created? Good luck scoring a solid hit on a Stridsvagn at a range it couldn't easily toast opposing tanks first! It was like some sort of futuristic Jagdpanther... one that switched its defense strategy to hit avoidance and eliminated the problems of its ancestor. But the 'future' the finished design debuted by was only 1967!

My #1 tank is the one I designed when I was six years old. A kid in our class would make up a story how his uncle worked for the army, and would look at kids' drawings to make the best ones into real tanks. It was a great lie to become popular. We were all gullible and believed him. My design was this giant tank with metal spikes all around it. I drew lightning bolts coming out of it to show that on top of the spikes, it was electrified. I figured the #1 weakness of tanks was people climbing on top of it, so spikes would stop that and if the spikes didn't stop them, the electric shock would! If no infantry could climb it, how could anything possibly stop it? THEY COULDN'T! My giant spikey electric tank (that I think I named "Electro Porcupine Juggernaut") was completely invincible and would have revolutionized warfare.
