    The American soldiers and tanks of the C company of the 752nd Tank Battalion navigate through the woods and fields, facing gunfire from an invisible enemy. The commanding officer, Frank L Heaton Jr, attempts to make sense of the situation and orders his tanks to fire upon the tree line ahead. They come under heavy fire and Heaton is struggling to see through the periscopes. Eventually, they spot a Panzer 4 tank firing from the top of a hill and successfully take it out along with two other tanks using their 75mm cannons. They continue to push forward, with the commanding officer keeping a watchful eye for any remaining resistance, but find nothing. The American tanks continue to advance unopposed, with the enemy tracks showing retreat and disappearing on a road. The Americans continue to push forward until they are way into enemy territory.

    Imagine, you are a German soldier, not what you wanted to be, but at least you found some friends. You were then ordered to the frontlines, you and your friends bike to the frontlines. But then, out of the blue, you see some M4 Shermans. Your last moments on Earth are of the Shermans firing on you, as you see all of your friends get guned down.

  • @bigboymuslim9272

    The Sherman's appear to be M4A3 Sherman's manufactured in the Fischer factory with wet ammo storage, a 3 piece transmission for some reason, the U shape part at the engine part that is covered, entirely welded hull, VVSS suspension and a 75mm turret. Correct me if I'm wrong.

      Their Shermans tend to be a bit of a mish-mash... IIRC they've had some 76mm M4A4s in past videos. As for these, they are small hatch Shermans, which means they aren't Fischer built as the only small hatch Fisher Shermans were M4A2, which the US Army wasn't using in the ETO.

    • @anthonyirwin6627

      They seem to me more like M4 Shermans (welded hull, with radial engine). It would explain the early type 57 degree glacis, welded armor plates in front of the early driver hatches and right turret cheek and two piece commander's hatch and swivel type periscope

    Holy crap these animations are detailed! Even the ad! This is the first time I really got a feel for what it was like to be a tank commander from ANY video about WW2. It's hard to get a feel for how bad visibility out of a tank can be and how tense it makes the situation when you're just seeing the tanks move around from an outside perspective. Top tier channel.
