I am always amazed on the variety of vehicles used by Germany in WWII, what's even more amazing is to see so many in prime running condition. Thanks

Incredible to think these are actual vehicles from WW2, they are in such a pristine condition, living history in front of our eyes, amazing.

HOLY CRAP...a FREAKIN' NASHORN! Way too cool!

Thanks for all you do to keep history alive! Great filming and sound!

Excellent choice Sofi ! Couple of them were completely new to me.

Dear Sofilein, Thanks for sharing this. Overloon War Museum has one of the most rare collections of German WW2 vehicles and most of them are so wel conservatief and restored that these vehicles run and drive like these just run out of the production line. Almost every year you can see another example of what’s restored and new running in the parade the museum is organizing so I can understand you very well that you want to be with such a parade. I look forward to your next vlog and send you love

Sehr sehr, schön das ganze. Wenn ich mir überlege, wieviel Zeit und Geld diese Menschen investieren kann man nur noch staunen. Und das beste alle Fahrzeuge fahren noch und sind funktionsfähig. Einfach nur Klasse, habe sehr großen Respekt vor solchen Leuten, die Geschichte lebendig machen.

Thanks Sofi, great viewing and as many others have stated, lots of vehicles I'd never seen before. 🤯

I'm using the numbers on the tanks for my next lottery ticket selection

that nashorn was a beast.... i didnt realize how big and tall they were

Nice setting to display these wonderful vehicles.

Yay! Sofi's Army! I'm on your side!

Thanks for sharing your visit to Militracks with us! I'd never heard of a Bergepazner until now. And it's great to see such a variety of WWII vintage German vehicles presented so well. Great job!

That Maultier stormed out of the woods with it's trailers like a freight train. Now if only the armored version of it with the Nebelwerfer could show up in the future...

Remarkable variety of vehicles. Amazing to see them in such excellent running condition. Very nice camera work to capture and share the moment.

What an amazing range of vehicles and so lovingly restored

What a cool experience!

Back in 1995 I visited family in Germany with my mom. I made friends with a guy who had an Ural motorcycle with sidecar which he explained was literally a bolt for bolt copy of a 1943 BMW. I think even the castings still had BMW marks along with the sidecar even having machine gun mounts copied. It would be so cool if some motorcycle manufacturer made a reproduction Kettenkrad!

It's crazy , the durability of these machines made 80 years ago . With some tlc of course .

What an amazing assortment of vehicles!

At 4:30 the Kettenkrad has always been one of my favorites ever since I saw one in a book many years ago. They're so adorable! It's like the tankiest motorcycle ever built. OMG @ 5:51 "an entire herd" 🤣 😍

​​​@@allewis4008 they do look like a lot of fun, but I'm guessing regular maintenance even on a reproduction model would be expensive... tracks and all... The Kubelwagon lived on as the VW Thing, however, but it was pretty basic and had wheels only

So many Kettenkrads! I didn't think there where that many of them still around.

Thanks for a super video, and especially for taking the trouble to note all the model names! There were several that were new to me. 👌

I'm an ex tanky on challenger and scimitar, its good that these very old tanks are well looked after ❤

Such an awsome display of equipment loved every second of it. Ready to watch again.

​@@Sofileinmajor design flaw of all German equipment was the lack of a *"glacias plate"* I think but not an expert. Be interested to know how wrong I am about that actually given what's going with the Russian Disaster.

Excellent video, an amazing selection of vehicles, the stars (imho) being that sinister Stug and all the little Kettnenkrads, looking like a breeding herd.

What a beautiful machinery, so much impressions!

Hi Sofilein, great footage here. I (Glen from Vegas) met you two weeks ago at the Aquino Tank Show in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. Thanks again for letting me take a picture with you, that was so kind and awesome!!

Model kits are often based on existing vehicles. After all, where else would they get the measurements of those vehicles if the technical plans are no longer available ? Unfortunately sometimes they also copy mistakes such as non-authentic parts or repairs.

Got great footage there, despite all the dramas you had to endure to get there and set up. As usual, thanks for sharing.

6:29 Yoooo is that a Zündapp motorcycle with the sidecar? I used to have a 50cc Zündapp when i was a kid, damn that widdle thing was so much fun

Thanks!

Thanks Sofilein! This was So Fine! I can’t imagine dozens of each of those vehicles in everyday use. So rare now but just a common occurrence back in the day.

Thank you Sofi, that's something you don't see everyday!

Amazing to see so many varieties vehicle well maintained, like to drive the kfz 250 and the kattengrad❤

Love it when you visit Militracks, always good footage. One thing i've been thinking for a while now is how not only are German armour functional, but they look better than allied armour. I mean better on the eye. I don't want to pay Adolf any compliments, but as all designs had to be approved by him I would hazard an unqualified guess that Hitlers artistic and personal taste may have had something to do with it . For example compare the Churchill to the King Tiger - Churchill , ugly looking lump (imho) King Tiger - Almost a work of art, everything in balance, looks stunning from any angle and definitely has a menacing look.

An amazing collection of equipment from those times. where does all this come from? or are these not real exhibits?

This is what I love seeing personally is the revitilization of ww2 equipment getting a second chance in life regardless of which side they were on because of how rare most of them are in this day in time, and most being operational instead of being a static display piece in the middle of a town or inside a museum 24/7. The Nashorn and the Stug III ausf. G both look absolutely amazing and well taken care of. I see a Tiger I in the background at the beginning and I wonder if that is 131 brought out just for display. Half of me wishes I could put my hand on their cold steel frames and close my eyes to just listen to them tell their stories of combat action and how they were not only able to survive the war, but also survive from the scrap furnace as thats where a large majority of tanks went after the war was broken down and turned into scrap metal.

Tank you
