The One Man Tank Destroyer

- Outnumbered and outgunned, another Tiger 1 and StuG turn toward Major Cain. With his complete loathing and hatred of tanks Major Cain picks up his trusty PIAT and goes out alone to deal with them.
Injured and out of PIAT rounds he picks up a two-inch motor and takes on the advancing Panzer grenadiers and their tanks. His incessant bombardment and aggression forced the enemy into full retreat.
Throughout the whole course of the Battle of Arnhem, Major Cain showed superb gallantry. His powers of endurance and leadership were the admiration of all his fellow officers and men. Cain was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions.

It’s Jeramy Clarksons father in law isn’t it?

Luv ur vids and im a fan of war stories
Fun fact: Major Cain VC, was the former father-in-law of the famed Top Gear and Grand Tour presenter Jeremy Clarkson. He even did a documentary on Major Cain's actions in his episode of the Victoria Cross. I recommend checking it out if you would like more information on this. But as always, great video by Yarnhub!
I watched it a couple weeks back and was laughing my ass off when Jeremy said Cain simply forgot to mention to his daughter that he got the Victoria's Cross.
5 quid for Sten Smg
That's really cool
Hi did a war stories on him
The video is on youtube, search for:
Jeremy Clarkson's The Victoria Cross: For Valour
6:20 this is definitely BD energy
Ah Iron here
What's a BD?
Idk
Ooh it’s iron!!!!
@@winchesterchua3390 Bad Dragon
Nah he's probably talking about the movie "Breakdown" back in 2016
“We're being overrunned! Retreat!”
Cain: “If fighting is sure to result in victory then you must fight...! Sun Tzu said that”
"And I think he knows a little bit more about fighting than you do pal cause he INVENTED IT!"
What is the point of running. Only to die few decades later.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHH"
To the left!
MAGGOTS!
"Sir, that's a StuG and a Tiger! You're outnumbered!"
*I like those odds.*
Ello there
"No no no. You have the numbers all wrong. I have them outnumbered"
*Two Steel tanks are nothing against his giant Platinum balls*
Ohh. The soviet army corp’s DEFINITELY like’s those odds.
lol its another fairy tell story by British to hide their failure
The reputation of the Para's was immortalised in this combat. A high ranking German officer remarked that the street fighting was on par with that of Stalingrad, but there is not a lot you can do when you're clean out of ammunition and facing a couple of SS Divisions. If only Nijmegen bridge had been taken in time (another Airborne unit had that responsibility).
For Nijmegen, the problem also was that the armor didn't advance fast enough to reach the paratroopers in time, right?
I can't remember if it was a Historiography video, or Baz Battles, or whatever, but someone made a video about Market Garden, and showed how the armored thrust got delayed from the very start. (could've even been Jeremy's documentary, actually)
Which REALLY did not help out the paratroopers, who needed to hold out much longer than initially planned.
The 82nd took the Nijmegen bridge, but 30 Corps took too long
that was the whole problem with op market garden, if nijmegn bridge had been taken then what about the next pocket of troops, or the pocket after that, they went several bridges too far
@@fatmanbatman9374 82nd took to long to move forces to the bridge and sat on the groosebeek heights shelling the reichswald and sent only a small detachment to secure the bridge which by that point had been reinforced by a much larger german force
Its was doomed from the start.
1. Montgomery refused to believe that 30 Corps (If memory service correctly) so he refused to put a backup in place for his men.
2. It was WAY too ambitious on the allies part. There was no way to grab and hold the bridges for that long.
Just here before most comments to express my utmost appreciation for the content you’re consistently pumping out and the actual research and effort you put into these, nothing to say other than that and I just wanted to say it before this gets lost in the comments so thanks!
Thanks !

The willpower and dedicated of Major Cain to keep going despite all his injuries is amazing. Thanks for sharing another great story of someone I hadn't heard of before.
Animation is top notch, like always. That brief shot from the alleyway looking out was a nice change in perspective and the head-on view of the tank (StuG) approaching down the street was impressive. Same goes for the shot of Major Cain standing with his rifle over his soldier over the narration of him having been awarded the Victoria Cross -- the slight change of focus was neat to see.
"WHERE'S OUR ANTI-TANK?!"
Major Cain: "I am the anti-tank!!"
"WHAT KIND OF TANK DEFENSE IS THIS?"

Facing tanks alone is one thing
But hip-firing a mortar, that's a whole different story
I wonder how much of this story is true...
Hip firing a fcking mortar at a fucking tiger.
Ain't no way. from this.... czcams.com/video/anlaOcpi8JA/video.htmlsi=-6jAtfLa_V5oCVyB&t=164 a fcking knee mortar is gonna fuck you up if you fired it on the knee. If you hipfired the thing.... no way. It's too ridiculous how can your body withstand the recoil.
And..... every tank is always depicted as a tiger.. allied soldiers would misidentify the panzer 4 h with it's similar boxy structure as a tiger. No way man.
I showed this channel to my friend who is a graphic designer and he couldn’t even begin to tell me the level of hard work it would take to create videos like these on a weekly basis. Great work, YarnHub!
Since this is made in the Unreal Engine (iirc) then like Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends (which was animated in a different program), the more videos they make, the faster they can make them because they can build an animation library on top of stock assets and animation. On top of having one of the best drag and drop asset browsers of any non-inhouse software in any industry.
The hard work they put in today spells easier work tomorrow.

Finally a Manxman getting the attention he deserves! His tale is well known over here since it came out! All respect to him!
My great uncle Ted was there in the 2nd South staffs and he too found himself in the river crossing. Another great 2nd south staffs was a Sgt Baskeyfield VC, he earnt his posthumously at Oosterbeek. God bless them.
I’ve learned something new today.what a chad that man,major Robert Henry Cain
I really like the way he improvised, using the mortar as a handheld weapon. He saved the day for his troops even though they lost the battle. Too bad he didn’t save a final round for Montgomery.
@@steveperreira5850 I did not realize until I did some deeper reading just how many Allied soldiers of multiple nations hated Montgomery (I thought in the past that it was just some petty feud between him and Patton). Canadian war hero Leo Major actually refused to accept a Victoria Cross from him. Seems like it was a competition between Monty and Mark Clark for who could be more hated (some American WWII vets and their sons/daughters still trash Clark to this very day).
"Sir, we're outnumbered... by tanks!"
Cain: "Good, more to destroy."
"I was well brought up sir!"
What a British thing to say!
What do Tigers fear most?
Allied tanks?
Self-propelled guns?
Aircraft?
No. They fear Robert Henry Cain
So so true

AWESOME story. I hadn't heard that one before.
Going up against Stugs and Tigers with a spring loaded anti tank weapon is amazing.
Using a mortar as a hand held weapon fired from his hip is beyond priceless
These brave men are honored everyday in Arnhem with lights on the bridge :)
Germans: Our tanks armor is amazing! No americano or englander can ever break into it!
This one dude with a PIAT: *SWING WONG YOU'RE WRONG!*
Well to be honest, I don't think that Major Cain really started to make a difference until he mounted a mortar to his hip. THAT weapon was the real MVP of this video!
*DISGRUNTLED PIAT NOISES*
Hi my dad Bill Harrigan witnessed Major Cains actions at Arnhem as as a young Lance corporal who was finally left for dead picked up and treated by the Germans and then escaped being mia for 6 weeks. He would not say much about Arnhem except it was carnage and chaos after the second wave went in .
In 2019 The Wife set us up with the Stephen Ambrose Band of Brothers tour. One of the days was spent in Arnhem and Oosterbeek. It is so beautiful now, that it's hard to imagine the destruction that took place back then. The Airborne Museum Hartenstein is something to see. Its displays would make Disney Imagineers stand and applaud. Also spent time paying respects at the Airborne War Cemetery. While unsuccessful, it's just incredible what these young men did.
John Frost was my grandpas cousin. He was also one of his teachers while he was at hardwick hall for para training in 1946.
Well done again Yarnhub
I must say you went really cinematic with the tanks. Especially that StugIII at around 6:20 . Even adding the gun recoil. Attention to detail :)
7:33 I'm turning this to my wallpaper
Jesus, this man is another embodiment of too angry to die.
To be able to fire mortar like that, and hit the target.
Props for another great animation and story telling Yarnhub!
It’s always nice to see tanks that aren’t as famous like stugs even though they were the most effective tank destroyer of the war
And well-rendered, even populated by Wehrmacht regulars instead of panzer korps!
Ngl this is the first time i've seen a Stug
@@satriamarshall312 yeah the only way someone in the states can see one i know of is going to bovington in the us so this an acceptable substitute
Here in Holland this man is celebrated as the mortar man for using a mortar after running out of rockets. Many civilians helped him spotting the tanks but after the defeat these same civilians were found and tortured by the Germans as examples.
😢
That's jeremy clarsons father in law if I'm correct because he did documentarys about the vc and the greatest raid its pretty interesting and Kanes eardrums had popped and there was a goo as jeremy described it
My dad made me watch it because he was in the RTR and loves things about tanks and the military
Bob Cain was Jeremy Clarksons father in law. However Clarkson didn't know anything about his heroism or his VC until years after Bob Cain had died as Bob Cain hadn't even told his daughter about it.
Clarkson has made a stunning documentary about the Victoria Cross which features Bob Cains story, its probably the best documentary on CZcams
Tanks in yarnhub videos are the best I’ve ever seen
Tiger: I fear no tank, but that thing over there-
*points to Major Cain*
-it scares me
He was firing a mortar from the hip?...respect! Major respect since he wasn't knocked 10 feet backwards per shot AND still managed to hit his heavily armored targets.
its bullshit sadly
Major Cain was actually the former father-in-law of Top Gear and Grand Tour presenter, Jeremy Clarkson, who made a documentary episode about him. He never met Cain in real life and he didn't find out about his story until he started reading up on the war
That's one tough cookie! RIP MAJ Cain...
This man was the very epitome of fearless in battle.
No British soldier would ever refer to the PIAT as "trusty", lol. Thing was a nightmare.
I could already tell when it's ammo was faulty and some rounds bounced off. 😂
Yeah it was "weak" and shouls have been used at weak spots, the lower bottom side plates and such, not at the front unless there was no other way and a blast from the front did dazzle the tank crews for a few seconds which could be crucial for infantry to retreat safely.
We have to keep in mind that it was spring loaded and has a big projectile drop, unlike recoilless rifles.
The PIAT was not a good weapon. But it was 100% better than nothing. You could knock the track off of a tank with it- all you had to do was just hit the tracks in the right spot. Easier said than done.
That still didn’t stop this man from soloing tanks
I'm going to be completely honest, when I saw the thumbnail and the title I thought it was a German tank destroyer that had only one crew member.
Same! And considering thier 1-7 kill ratio I was getting excited
Brave man...soldiered on against overwhelming odds!
I love this channel! You guys make history easy to learn, exciting, and the animation is amazing! Thank you for the content! Can’t wait to see your next vid!
Thank you for the heart!
I bloody love the quality and effort put into these animations and videos! Keep it up! ❤️
I am currently living in Renkum (a small town nearby Arnhem) and on my way to Arnhem through Oosterbeek and I know this history and places.
Amazing work from Yarnhub to tell the story of the brave defenders!
Sir is even holding mortar like a rocket launcher so freaking awesome something I haven't seen even in movies
"Don't have a tank? Use an anti tank gun, don't have an anti tank gun? Use a piat, don't have a piat? Use a broken mortar tube. But by no means stop shooting at those tanks" - stolen quote

After all those badassery he did, i won't be surprised if Major Cain rocket jumped across the whole river with a mortar

After Major Cain VC passed away, his daughter never even knew he was a Victoria Cross recipient. To quote Jeremy Clarkson, his then son-in-law, "he never even thought to tell her". What a bloke, such pride he should bring to many a Manxman.
Rest in Peace Sir, rest well.
Some of the minor details you guys throw in absolutely blow me away. Ive been a war buff since i was 10 and today is the first time ive heard that glider crews had to link arms on landing. Im not sure if ive just overlooked it in the past but im not sure any media ive seen has added that detail and im really surprised because it makes a lot of sense with that landing. Not sure how that slipped by all these years but thanks for your dedication to detail!
It was in The Longest Day, everyone's introduction to going into action in gliders 😀 Here at the 1:55 mark czcams.com/video/G_hG8HuX3go/video.html
One of the most insanely impressive examples of gallantry I've yet come across. Very well done video too!
The PIAT was the bazooka equivalent of the Sten gun , it was a cheap , easy to use weapon , but had reliability issues , which sometimes had fatal consequences for the user
YEA BOIIIII NOTIF GANG!!! Just in time too!
Looking great on your bgs and character animation, Yarnhub!!! Absolute stonk of deliciousness from storytelling! Will be waiting for the next one!
I believe I've already asked this but can you do an animation over the B-17, or Lancaster tail that got blown off, but flew and landed because of how perfectly the tail was cut? But if not that's fine, because of how amazing each history animation you guys make.
I think its a b17 not a Lancaster

Also, the recoil on that mortar firing from the hip must have been, umm... significant.
Ah yes, the Story used to scare young panzers to sleep
I have a suggestion.
I know the battle i will say its not in the timeline you usually do, but it was a naval battle where 1 side had only 1 ship and the other side had 240 ships and the 1 ship won.
If you are interested, its the battle of Aceh in the year 1569.

Fantastic artwork. Do we still make men like these, or did we throw the mould away in 1945? Seriously, our village postmaster in Little Haywood was an Arnhem veteran, who lost a leg in the battle. A lovely man; he met his death one summer afternoon on an English cricket pitch, playing his beloved game. A powerfully hit ball struck him full on the heart, killing him on the spot. And you wonder about the ironies of life.
You can see the loathing in his eyes at the 6:45 mark, looking for any other armoured victims to hunt down. I also love the way he straightens up in front of the burning Tiger as if he is standing at attention, honouring his fallen panzer victims.

Your content is unmatched yarnhub, oh how far you’ve risen.
*It's been a long way we've gone hasn't it. From roughly 2d animation, to something that could and should be used in a film. It's a wonder how Yarnhub hasn't gotten at least near 1 mil and how they haven't run out of amazing history stories to tell.*
*May we see more of these in the near future.*
*Good job.*
My father was 60 kms away from this battle, in the village of Bredevoort. He was 4 years old.
I believe the Projector Infantry Anti Tank or Piat for short used a spring to launch the projectile. It was not fun to cock it and had a fairly short range so kudos to anyone who used it.
What a hero, a real life Rambo
The level of animations is outstanding
He grabs his trusty piat
piat fails to pen multiple times, explodes in his face
maximum trustiness achieved
The VC was well earned. Fantastic soldier.
I read Cornelius Ryan 'A Bridge too Far' at least twice, the comments about a British paratrooper who managed to shave after coming back to Arnhem by a senior officer was not attributed to Major Cain. But that little error doesn't diminished the remarkable courage of Major Cain at all.
I know just how much you guys have been trying to improve the quality of the videos and especially animation, and it's very obvious just the progress you make between every weeks video. This one was great.
Nobody will ever know the sheer terror , standing up to a stug, and a tiger, with only a PIAT! What a brave man!
I find myself addicted to this channel!! I love these animations about all these remarkable soldiers and the absolute bravery they have shown.
This man is so brave this guy destroyed many tanks alone?!
Like damn wish i could be as good as him one day
I’m so thankful for these historical Channels like Yarnhub, Simple History, and The ArmChair Historian. They actually teach you the important and interesting parts of history rather than the boring political parts and unimportant parts.
This is by far one of the most metal stories I've ever heard about WW2. This needs to be a movie.
Hah! Got it right! Osterbeeck. My father was a glider pilot. He flew 2 missions in Market-Garden, 1 to Eindhoven, 1 to Nijmegen, won the DFC and a battlefield promotion to 2nd lieutenant for staying on the tow to deliver his antitank weapon and crew after his tow plane was hit...
once again yarnhub, you never cease to impress me
It’s stories like these that need to be made into films, then there will be an even more complete understanding and understanding of that event.
I look forward to these all week!
