An 85mm gun (and one that's mobile at that) is still an 85mm gun. It'll do some damage to something or somebody. I damn sure wouldn't want to be on the receiving end. I can see it being used on softer targets, and as you pointed out behind the main thrust in a mopping up roll.
That pour doggo didnt choose the ss... i hope god forgives that doggo
If enemy doesn't have AT weapons, even T-34 will be good enough. A snorkel for T-34 sounds absurd, somehow I don't believe they managed to seal the hull and handle exhaust fumes in safe way. T-34/76 is a shocker. North Korea could earn a lot of money partially disarming itself and selling such machine to some museum or collection. I's like 80 80 years old.
My grandmother (Korean) lived in Okinawa during WWII. She was glad about the atomic bombs because she felt Japan would have never stopped.
One thing I figured I’d point out since some people think America was just “ruthless” with the bomb… American Air force dropped leaflets before both bombs telling the Japanese what America had. Look up “Lemay Leaflet”
Well, it is pity that Pierrepoint was not there. Mark, you know what would happened if he were there. Same as happened to Höss or Eichman. :)
Those white painted road wheels make an excellent aiming point for a gunner.
Alois Brunner had a wife and children, what happened to them?
Interesting story. I know all about Nuremberg but never heard of the Japan trials
North Korea still uses, MiG 15 17 Soviet an Chinese knockoff Singal an 2,seat trainers
I wait for his new episodes like I wait for dinner and a beer after work.
Like the airplane, the rocket while first pushed to its potential by an American, was quickly taken and expanded by other countries with more limited resources and a greater desire to expand on new ideas in place of traditional military expenditures which could not give them an edge sans the limitless resources needed to win a war using old mainstays. We put our money in few new ideas until they were proven viable by Britain or in most cases one of the axis powers. The fleet carrier was beginning to gain ground but the japanese proved it's power in the attack on pearl harbor ironically. That none of the carriers were in the harbor with the fleet was a stroke of fortune that allowed for the victory at midway. An impossible win if they all sat at the bottom of pearl harbor and needed to be salvaged. The Germans took rocket science and pushed it into a viable weapons system which with the Advent of nuclear bombs, became a suddenly more attractive if exotic expenditure. We won the war with browning machine guns, M1 Garands and .45 colt automatics. Teo of those are still in wide use the world round and considered by many the most effective weapons in their class. The garand excepted.
Perhaps the greatest travesty of justice was the lack of punishment for Shiro Ishii , the head of Unit 731, the Japanese chemical warfare research unit .
➡➡ 24:17 ～ Many Japanese people ignore the war crimes committed by the Japanese military or call them fake. 😬😬As of May 22, 2024, as well as the attitude of the Russians towards the war crimes of the Russian military in Ukraine.😬😬
The pianist is gut wrenching but must see movie.
I always wonder my great uncles were pow in Burma in the Second World War and always wonder what it must have been like for those guys in pow camps but they were very lucky they all came back home after and I have a katana sword that he was give but a dress sword I believe
If you can imagine that people today are supporting Hamas
Imagin a modernisation with thermal imaging, stabiliser and powerful engine and tons of ERA
And how satisfied look those nazis for killing so many people! 🤔🙄😒😒
Japan should address this. They really should.

With the hands of well trained and experienced crew this thing is deadly
Sll Japanese crimed seem to slways be ignored
"T-62s and T-54s" You forgot to mention that these were not for Russian military, but for the DPR/LPR militias, because they lack the training to use modern Russian tanks. And that they're not being used as tanks, but as basic mobile protected firepower or just assault guns supporting infantry or shelling static positions.
I’d rather 200 T34’s than the few tanks that the UK can get into the field nowadays, due to endless cuts and government disinterest
Great synopsis of the major factors that engendered the Japanese atrocities during the 1930s and 1940s, highly recommend.
tanks have lost some of their street cred after so many of them have been taken out of commission by cheap consumer drones
✔
The SNP sold us then and have done since ! VERMIN
Takes a drone hit as well as any tank these days...
At least NK's T34s are able to drive and move under their own power. Putin's T-14s can't do that
What? No KV-1s? What slackers!!
Seems ironically similar to what’s happening in Jerusalem and West Bank /Hamas …
Both north korea and russia are shithole countries!!!
You are dead wrong. Globocnik was from Carinthia and the name of his grandfather was first Globotschnig; he had NO slavic roots whatsoever ; read his biography by J. Sachsenlehner ( only in German)
General McArtur served his personal ambitions first
I believe the Poles are building a museum on the site of the ghetto sometime in the near future. Some parts of the wall still exist between the buildings.
Marek Edelman-a hero of the Ghetto uprising and a true Polish patriot. Continued the fight after the war and was one of the people who opposed communism and had a part in its fall. I was there. I remember.
Dear Doctor Mark Felton, thanks for sharing and educating us on the lesser known part of ww2 history. Highly appreciated! Ps: i was wondering if you ever did a vid on Operation Postmaster. Would love to see that one with your presentation! Thanks again
All to protect an empire which that had lost within ten years of wars end. Then those that came home saw their country being invaded by the detritus of that empire. The same establishment screwed them twice
폭풍호, 천마호, 선군호, M2020(a.k.a North-Kbrams)... just knock-off of wierd-customized stuff vs M48(retirement almost finished), K1/K1A1, K2 Black Panther! no match for those North commie lol
i am surprised we never talk about all the rapes commited by the americans on french population after D day...
I wish i had a time machine
Brave sasha
Japan was bounced into attacking the Yanks. There had been a protracted period of provocation from the so called good guys.
Greece has many monuments dedicated to innocent people murdered by the Nazi's during WWII. From what I understand they were killed for the same reason, retaliation. The village of Chortiatis, south of the city of Thessaloniki, Greece has a monument dedicated to 146 civilians massacred by the German Wehrmacht in retaliation for the killings of two German soldiers. I've personally seen the monument. One of the victims was a one year old child.
WWII Defendants defense: "Germany was a dictatorship, If I didn't follow my orders i would have been shot" Allied Prosecution - "You should have killed yourself then" Seems fair and honest like justice to me!
Actually it was the Bolsheviks who invented the gas vans... the Germans copied a lot of their ideas
This channel would make an EXCELLENT podcast... Definitely give that some thought!
How quickly the Japs and Germans became allies straight after WW2 because the US and the UK said so and the Soviets who had done most of the heavy lifting in the fight against Germany and her European Allies were the enemy all within 2 years after the end of WW2. And the western public bought the rehtoric without question, obviously the Western leadership didnt really give a shit about the attrocities commited against their own soldiers only the Soviets protested about some of the light sentences handed out. The fact Churchill wanted to use Nazi Germany along with UK/US armies to attack the Soviet Union is quite telling, Operation Unthinkable.
