    The Germans, who had much greater industrial resources, only managed to get a 47mm SP gun onto the R35 chassis. In doing so, they also made the vehicle much higher, lost the 360 degree turret rotation and the thicker armour of the turret. It looks as though 45mm/47mm guns were all that could be fitted and the Romanian solution seems to have had these three advantages over the German solution.

    I must be honest, this tank was garbage. Then again, Romania and other Eastern Europe countries often had no choice, but to rely on garbage like this. That damn war truly was unwinnable scenario for Eastern Eurpean countries outside of USSR. Well, maybe Poland and Czechoslovakia could have had some small chance to defend, if they had more time to prepare.

    Bro what is with that claim that germany was a pioneer before the war and entered the conflict with superior tanks than the others? The reality was quite literally the opposite, they had mediocre tanks when compared to certain allied tanks, especially when they invaded USSR and faced the T-34, but those later larger and more complex german tanks, while they did have issues of their own as you mentioned, were the actual reason why german tanks were considered superior. Nobody considered the panzer 2 superior to the czech or french light tanks, nobody considered early variants of panzers 3 and 4 superior to early T-34s either.

    Sir, we turned our obsolete tank into a tank destroyer! Aha, just like the germans do! What did you fit on there? A ZIS-2? Or even a Mighti 75mm Reşiţa or PAK 40? No..a 45mm...

    Great report on a van almost never mentioned axis nation holding the lines. Your dates are wrong especially since the Hungarian army was destroyed in mid December 1942 in operation Little Saturn and the Hungarian army couldn’t have been engaging the Russians in January 1943 because they had been destroyed. So what battles are you talking about after December 16th 1942 that weren’t their forces being surrounded and surrendered? Are your dates just wrong?

    My own thought is that stripping off the turret, and mounting a decent anti-tank gun would have been so much better. Fitting a 45mm in 1944 was pointless, really.

    i am one of the lucky ones who saw this things turret personally. its a war memorial now, for the memory of the battle near hron (river in slovakia) in 1945, and for the victims of those wars, of rows of red army and romanian soldiers

    This footage also caught my attention the first time I saw it, it was a R35, but not sure where and when exactly this was filmed. I asked about it once and was told the footage came from a documentary called Apocalypse, but I never watched it myself.

    It looks kinda fake because the explosion seems to come from directly underneath the tank with no visible impact. I doubt that a mine would have that much power so combined with the fact that it doesn't seem to move it was probably rigged with explosives for propaganda footage.

    It's a scene from a german ww2 propaganda movie made in 1941 called "Stukas", the movie is available on youtube. Go to around 33 minutes into the film and it is a long sequence, the tanks show up several times in the film: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h3uAt6WdftPbXZc.html

    This is an awesome video but it really needs to be updated. ^^""" I can find so many mistakes from nitpicks to just outright wrong. Especially the 4th tank division bit. I really need to finish my work and finally put that misconception to rest.

    Tests involving British and American tanks were carried out in New Guinea which resulted in selection of the Matilda II so it wasn't a random selection. The 2 pounder was used against Japanese bunkers, quite effectively too against the logs used.

    The later campaigns the Australians were involved in are often portrayed as sideshows but no more so than the "sideshows" the Allies were involved in 1945 such as Italy, Burma and Mindanao. Even MacArthur's campaign in the Philippines is seen as such by US Navy and Marines fans these days. Bougainville and New Guinea were Australian protectorates under League of Nation mandates so PM John Curtin thought there was a legal obligation to fully liberate them. Apart from the oil reserves, the Japanese in Borneo put up a much stronger resistance than expected because they assumed it would be used as a stepping stone back to Singapore which had actually been proposed by the British High Command in 1944 but resisted by Churchill who preferred a "Bay of Bengal solution". From Borneo the Allies could also be deployed to liberate Java or Indochina, opening up supply lines to China through Vietnam.
