When an Axeman Fought a Tank

Фильм және анимация

Born in Ukraine in 1919, Ivan Pavlovich Sereda became a cook in the Red Army, assigned to the 91st Tank Regiment, 46th Tank Division. When a German tank rolls into camp it's just the cook who is left to face it. Undeterred Sereda grabs his trusty axe and goes to work on the war machine. With a mixture of subterfuge and using what he had to hand, the cook incredibly decided that the axe was the right anti tank weapon for the day, much to the shock of the Germans inside.
An amazing story of bravery, a David and Goliath story for the modern age, it's a tale of overcoming incredible odds and having fearlessness and determination win the day.

    Point was that he was hiding so commander got out thinking camp was empty. When cook attacked he rush into tank and when blinded and there was fake command going on he though it was a ambush, that camp was hiding whole time, or Soviet troops got back to camp prime time to attack against their tank. Human mind is crooked thing with confirmation bias, so in his head there could been potentially army outside.

    We dont actually know, theres no info on why they didnt move the tank since.. well, the captured men went straight to a POW camp. My personal theory is that the driver must have stalled it trying to leave, and since its a hand crank they were just stuck. Sereda of course was too busy not getting shot so its quite likelly he wouldnt have noticed such a thing. But thats a guess, nobody knows.

    When Soviet Union was a thing, my father was part of a tank/infantry training in russia. There was a tank assault and infantry had to put up smokes and take positions, one guy's equipment failed and also the radio did not work. So he took a shovel and ran towards the tanks, waving the shovel so that the tanks would notice him, and not drive over him. Later when training had concluded my father recalled how the commander went up to the guy who had waved his shovel and said. "It's not up to me but I would give you a medal for trying to attack a tank with a shovel."

    In Russian story telling the commander repeatedly states he wants Ivan to find meat. Ivan enraged he has to stay behind and knowing he cant find meat then soon hears armor rolling in. He covers the tarp on the tank and sets the tarp on fire while shouting orders. He smokes out the crew and finds a large stash of meat with them. His comrades are surprised to see the meat and mention the capture of the German tank as nothing special and what every soviet soldier can do. Of course they are joking and are truly impressed with his work.

    It's especially funny because a mech running up and meleeing them is one of the biggest threats to tanks in Battletech, especially since many of them are armed with things like PPCs, LRMs and medium-caliber autocannons that perform poorly in close-quarters combat.

    with all due respect (these videos are great) there is nothing historically significant about random war stories. Do you better understand the context leading up to the conflict, or its effects on the world? do you better understand the unique ideologies of the nations at war? while stories like this are very fun, they are not "real history"; they are entertainment. History is about much more than brave soldiers and battlefield tactics.
