One reason the British were being overly cautious in Holland was only a few months before the invasion they realize their entire SOE spy network in the country had been penetrated so thoroughly by German intelligence that the Germans were essentially calling in to the Brits for agents and supplies to be delivered right where the Germans wanted them. Approximately 50 SOE agents were killed this way.
Thus, British intelligence had no way of really knowing what was going on in the country, and their military was under orders to not trust Dutch Resistance members they encountered. They had no way to tell if they were legitimate or part of a trap. (Reddit: @Zellakate)

The British High Command maybe. But I doubt these things would be leaked to a Tank Commander.
explain CAEN where they wouldnt move one fucking inch without 20 thousand tons of artillery fire. they were overly cautious because the high command was fucking SCARED and were fucking COWARDS
well I guess he saw him soon enough.
That's more relevant to the intelligence failures around A Bridge Too Far rather than this. Yes, they're the same operations, but this video is showing squad tactics and he was being told directly by American soldiers that there were opposition tanks ahead whereas the movie talked about the discrediting of intelligence we now know to have been correct.
Well, they did see the tank a few moments before death anyways so mission accomplished
I could tell his last thoughts were "oh bugger" even if he didn't have time to say it.
"Bollocks."
"Ow!"
He didn't get hit by the Tiger in that first shot but the tank behind him did so he managed to curse himself for not listening to the Americans
@@guts-141plus there wasnt much they could do to a tiger with their guns
@@dreamernah9268 Well they could at least have gone around the back
The minimum they coulda done was had the gunner track the corner of the building, soon as he saw the haystack he fires on it immediately
Yeah but that wouldn’t suit the stereotype lol
Or just have the commander jump out the tank and make him look for himself
Doesnt matter because the german tank sees the corners of the brittish tank before the brittish gun sees them.
@@macko1416commanders dont jump out of tanks because then they would get sniped/shot.
Sherman's literally had early low speed stabilisers so this scene annoys the fuck out of me.

One of the factors who caused the Market Garden defeat was the lack of communication between the British and US Army. Both were individually great, but they weren't able to work together.

Read that British tankers said this scene is bull. The whole point of infantry in this situation is to scout as tanks are v vulnerable in urban fighting. No commander would ignore them. British soldiers aren't robots with no independent thought.
It’s an American made show about WWII. Of course they’re going to display any allied nation except their own as incompetent fools.
There’s a shockingly large portion of the US that still somehow believe they were solely responsible for winning both world wars.
Most American war media, even one as accurate as Band of Brothers (by comparison) is basically American Exceptionalism propaganda.
British tanker from what present day or back then because they weren’t robots but weren’t immune to being foolish or ignorant aka being human mistakes are made and lives lost it is as easy as that
No sane or logical commander would ignore infantry and this one was a “Idiot in a tank” as winters wrote as a witness British troops aren’t without failures or bad decisions too be it solider or higher up in WW1 Gallipoli came to mind
The commander didnt even ignore the warning, he just said he couldn't see and didn't want to risk blowing up some random guy's house.
I didn't need confirmation from British tank personnel to tell me that, it was blatant Hollywood bullshit trying to make the Americans look smarter than the British. Ironically the actor telling them, Dexter Fletcher, is British in real life.

@@MyZk089 thats the dumbest thing i heard, most of the time, both german and allied forces would give cities a set amount of time to evacuate. Thats just the bare minimum. And considering what the allies did to dresden, i would hardly call all of it "minimal casualties".
@@JudgeMadyou truly don't know the French and the fact most of the people who refused to evacuate had all their lives where they were asked to evacuate from, if anything you're the dumbass.
They combined two sentences from the book in different areas. Ambrose writes: The 107th Panzerbrigade, stationed in Helmond, was attacking west, toward Nuenen, with some fifty tanks-“more than we had ever seen at one time,” Winters recalled. Sergeant Martin saw a German tank almost hidden in a fence row about 100 meters away. A British tank was coming up. Martin ran back to it, climbed aboard, and told the commander there was an enemy tank just below and to the right. The tank continued to move forward. Martin cautioned the commander that if he continued his forward movement the German tank would soon see him.
“I caunt see him, old boy,” the commander replied, “and if I caunt see him, I caunt very well shoot at him.”
“You’ll see him damn soon,” Martin shouted as he jumped down and moved away.
The German tank fired. The shell penetrated the British tank’s armor. Flame erupted. The crew came flying out of the hatch. The gunner pulled himself out last; he had lost his legs. The tank, now a flaming inferno, continued to move forward on its own, forcing Bull Randleman to move in the direction of the enemy to avoid it. A second British tank came forward. It too got blasted. Altogether four of the British tanks were knocked out by the German 88s. The two remaining tanks turned around and began to move back into Nuenen. Easy Company fell back with them.
A couple of pages later Ambrose writes: Once in town, men found shelter in buildings that they used as cover to move around and set up some semblance of a return fire. Easy managed to hold up the Germans but was unable to force them back. Sgt. Chuck Grant got hit, among many others. Pvt. Robert Van Klinken was killed by a machine-gun burst when he tried to run forward with a bazooka. Pvt. James Miller, a nineteen-year-old replacement, was killed when a hand grenade went off on his kidneys.
Pvt. Ray Cobb had the shakes. Webster heard Sergeant Martin comforting him, “the way a mother talks to a dream-frightened child: ‘That’s all right, Cobb, don’t worry, we’re not going back out there. Just relax, Cobb, take it easy.’ ”
Martin went over to a Cromwell, hiding behind a building. He pointed out the church steeple and asked the commander to take it out, as the Germans were using it as an observation post.
“So sorry, old man, we can’t do it,” the commander replied. “We have orders not to destroy too much property. Friendly country, you know.”
The Germans kept pressing. Their aim was to get through to the highway leading from Eindhoven to Nijmegen-“Hell’s Highway,” as the 101st named it-and cut it. But they could not get through Nuenen.
Oh goodness me I simply cannot shoot at Jerry without a visual, thank my lucky stars this clever old American chap came along to set me straight! Collywobbles!
Well... They didn't know it was there, and they aren't supposed to shoot the buildings, so I hope you "chaps" had teleporting shells back then

There's a difference between poor writing and a guy not understanding what he's looking at
Say what you will about this scene. The hard truth is that the British military was very good at getting their soldiers killed. UK had 3 million people serve throughout WW2 and of those 383,700 died, 376,239 wounded. The US had 16 Million people serving at the end of WW2 and only 295,557 were killed, 671,278 were wounded. The 1/3 ratio is very telling in another way. If as a Brit if you were wounded you were twice as likely to die from your wounds then an American. Pompous Ass British Generals have always played a role in getting soldiers killed at a quicker rate. Blame that on your nobility for being so inept.
@@julesmo323 yeah, its not like brits were attacked by germans and had to fight the war for a longer time
im pretty sure that kriegsmüdigkeit lead to more "now or never" decisions, combined with memories of your home getting attacked - you now have an army that wants to end the war, even if you die and take all enemies with you
That was a brutally cut short, god damn.
Which is them trying to get people to come to their website to watch the show
The brits were mad af when they saw this, even historians american or not disagree with this scene. This chapter contains one of the biggest flaws band of brothers made.
Sounds like weapons grade copium
There were many flaws with this series. Even with the episode announcing Blithe died, when in actuality he still served until 1967 of kidney failure. In the series they claimed he died from his wounds.
It was produced by Hollywood, so given that it was pretty much intentional. I also read Stephen Ambrose (on Reddit, so dont know how accurate the opinions are) is not a solid historian when it comes to the facts of what happened. A fire also happened in 1973 at the US Army records center in St Louis probably also had a small part of it.
Other than it being from Hollywood, everything else is just speculation really.🤷♂️
Not even close to the biggest flaw. Showing Blithe dead was a much bigger flaw than some Brit making a tactical mistake
@@SalemElloit easy company soldiers never saw blithe after he left the front, most thought he died of his wounds despite never being confirmed
@@freddyduran1417 one would have thought they would have done research about Blithe before posting this stuff. Supposedly there was another Blithe with the same name that died, and Easy company assumed it was him. 🤷♂️
having grown up in Normandy (which Americans basically leveled), "no unnecessary destruction of property" is a good doctrine.
Can’t say Normandy was an “unnecessary” destruction of property. It was one of the largest turning points of the western front.
@@danielevans8910 Sure it was, but did they need to drop ten thousand tons of bombs for the first 10 kilometers of advance? That's one ton per meter gained - on average, which means it was even more concentrated in (edit) important/fortified zones. Which makes sense on the beaches but sounds very overkill in the countryside. Though I know it was worse in other regions like Germany, and Normandy is mostly small towns rather than dense cities so it's not as bad.
@@hunterh1175 Product of inaccurate ordnance.
@@hunterh1175 It wasn't the towns so much, but the fortifications, and the roads, and depots. Certainly a lot of that total went to the intent of not letting the Germans bring up their armor reserve. Towns were collateral damage, at least until Charnwood/Goodwood
I grew up in Normandy as well. Literally 90% of my hometown got destroyed, mostly by the Americans. There are still plenty of bomb craters in the woods surrounding the town and it's not uncommon to dig up old ammo or something.
The old man shouting "Away" reminds me of the character in Toy Story 2 who specializes in restoring toys with that chin.
In war, it's always necessary
Good lord imagine ya look through your binoculars only to see a freakin tiger pointed right at ya. Horrific.

It’s a shame in such an accurate TV series that this scene exists
His last words are, “well, fiddlywink.” And he doesn’t even know it yet
In BoB yes, In the real battle - no. Sadly this is pretty fictious and over exaggerated. In the Real battle the British knocked out 2-3 German Panzers and lost 2 of their own. The remaining Germans then retreated.
The Basic policy of British Tank crews was to fire continuously. They were the most successful Tank crews on the western front.
I'd like to see a British production about the American antics at Kasserine Pass. The British warned them... The Germans couldn't believe their luck.
That one guy in your team who always says "I've got this"
His face at the end says. “Well fuck me, he was right.”
Shermans were probably the best all around tank in the war but they were not built to eat round from big German guns at point blank range. Their armor was better than most people think but not much was going to bounce that
Mass produced tanks that didn’t beat German armor or Russian at the time.
@@thomaswright981 Literal nonsense.
The soviet T-34 was very effective, but I think the tiger was probably the most feared
the best point of the shermans and t-34's is that they are easy to produce and maintain unlike the germans tigers and phanters that are a nightmare to maintain.
if they have just stick and mass produced their pzIV's and stugs the story might be different.
No tank is designed to eat shots from a literal stone tossing distance
Even a sherman could penetrate the front armor of a tiger at that range.

'Are you staying or going?" ..... Gone. 😂
The guy explaining what the old man was saying was David Kenyon Webster. He wrote a book about his experiences titled Parachute Infantry but he also wrote quite a few books about marine life. He set off in a small (12') boat for a day of fishing in September 1961 and was never heard from or seen again. It's presumed he was lost at sea as he would often go shark fishing in that boat and was known to not wear a life preserver.
This was one of those instances when i realized as a kid that even if you were to time travel and somehow warn someone of something it still wouldnt work lol
If he only tell the tank commander "Get the fuck up, and follow me"
"It was at that moment that Tommy knew he'd fracked up."
This would be an instance of necessary destruction of property, I'd think.
Only thing unrealistic is that he said that he wouldn’t shoot through houses. I saw either a historian or a vet talk about this scene
He can literally see the bullet that is going to kill him.
Shell dear. That was a tank shell. There wasn't anything left of him when it hit him.

No British tank officer would ever say anything like that, yet another thing they got wrong in a brilliant series
In real life it would have been a sergeant that commanded a tank
Im pretty sure saving my tank would definitely be necessary so that building is getting it.
key word "unnecessary" ...That was bloody well necessary!
"....Buggeh"
The british tankers orders were to avoid civilan casualties, also to win the hearts and minds of the Dutch, who they needed the support of during Market Garden. That said, US productions always portray the brits as stupid, which is the opposite of reality.
"The infantry unit's spotted a german tank."
"Well shit, if I ain't see him it ain't a problem innit mate?"
The main reasons why I have to pick up T95 or M41A1 in War Thunder, because only me do the "Unnessessary destruction property" to lure out Fox and Tiger 2 out of their camping site.
British soldier avoiding warcrimes is ridiculed wtf lmao
Last time i checked tank rounds dont go through stuff like butter, seeing the target and knowing where to aim is pretty essential.
Just ask warthunder players.
But the movie hates the sensible british guy
>thinks damaging an empty building is a warcrime
>thinks buildings in war thunder have accurate physics models
what are you, 12? war thunder doesn't have physics for buildings, they're just fixed barriers that stop everything instantly, for game balance reasons. in real life overpenetration is a thing, not to mention destructible terrain.
a four-inch brick wall of an antiquated mansion really won't do much against a shell that's designed to penetrate six or more inches of hardened steel armour. you also see him explicitly telling the tank commander to "put a few rounds through the house, you'll see him real good", i.e. shoot the house until there is a line of sight, not "quantum phase a round through the building like it's no biggie".
yes it makes the brits look daft for no reason, but the premise of shooting through a building is very mundane and really shouldn't be so mind-boggling staggering to you, wow
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most intelligent war thunder player
"Just ask war thunder players". Yes, people who sit in a chair playing War Thunder for 45+ hours a week are basically well qualified soldiers now?
@@chavzone That's not entirely true. Once upon a time you could shoot through destructible buildings and kill tanks on the other side. It was the addition of volumetric shells that ruined that not Gaijin's shoddy hitboxes. You also have to know which buildings are destructible and which aren't because they are almost as lazy as their playerbase.
I say almost as they do listen to the crybabies and remove whole areas of their maps instead of just design better maps that allow for all playstyles. Your favorite sniping spot is now probably out of bounds or surrounded by rocks. Your favorite flank route is now out of bounds. They punish the players that have more than one brain cell.
In reality, dude shouldn't freeze like that. The chances of a catastrophic kill on one shot, even from a Tiger I, are not as great as films and video games let on. He should be on the comms with his driver to reverse, and then to his gunner giving him a rough direction so they could return fire. It is likely the hit wouldn't disable them on the first shot, and the best chance for a lone tank against a Tiger I is to back-up behind cover, call in air cover, or to deploy the platoon to flank the position.
Thats a königstiger (Tiger II)
@@evmarthegreat7974 No that's a Tiger I. Short 88 and gun mantlet is wrong for a KT. You can also tell that's a flat front plate and not slanted like on the KT.

No tank commander would be pushing into an ambush zone like that, I recon this scene was done to show the British up as arrogant and stupid
So you are saying that this was all false and it didnt happen? There must have been something historical for Hanks and Speilburgh to include it!
@@rcljrobert Hanks and Spielberg are Anglophobic
The Sherman 75 mm cannon wouldn’t have much of an effect on that Tiger.
unless he shoots aphe or heat anywhere except the front
These are no ordinary Shermans. These tanks are British Fireflies. Essentially Sherman tanks with upgunned turrets. They pack a bigger punch than ordinary 75s.
The tank used is quite obviously not a Firefly, it lacks the distinctive muzzle break and the long barrel of the 17-pounder.
The 75mm M3 could penetrate the tiger from the front at roughly 170 yards give or take
@@Gunga_FAB.50 the distance is way less than 170 yards and shooting the mantlet wouldn't do much, it was the Panther and the Tiger II with №1-50 Turm that had the issues with mantlet shot traps
Those orders never happened, by the way, in the actual Battle of Neunen, it was a recce troop of Cromwells, so no Shermans, from what I remember an officer from easy company directed the Cromwells to attack towards a treeline which had a Tiger in it and resulted in two of the Cromwells getting knocked out because the Easy company officer made a mistake. British tank crews had an unoffical motto, fire, fire, and fire again. If they were told that a German tank was behind a building, they would put HE into the build and the APCBC into the German tank until it was neutralised, not much hope with a short barreled 75mm engaging a Tiger from the front but they would try. One thing that has to be noted is that this was a Recce Troop of Cromwells, not an Armoured troop. Cromwell armoured troops from XXX Crops (the unit that provided armour support for Markert Garden) All had an A30 Challenger as part of the troop, so each armhad 3 Cromwells 1 A30 Challenger. A30 Challengers were basically a longer Cromwell with a 17PDR and gun, which at the time of Market Garden had a really nasty APDS round, which could reliably penetrate a Tiger 1 from the front.

Note : that sherman can't do any damage to that tank
"bloody hell mate" *gets blown apart*
I’m pretty sure the soldier who asks in this clip, “What is he saying?” loses his life minutes later. PFC Robert Van Klinken. May he RIP.

It's been like 20 years since this show was on the air
Why is it getting more steam?
That's Arnold Rimmer commanding that tank, has to be. Only a hologram could survive that.
Btw the “my orders are no unnecessary destruction of property” was just a movie thing. British and american bombed half of middle-west europe even after the german fell back, often it was to assure that no enemy was left behind, other times it was, you can search it up, as quick teaching to the new recruits on artillery pieces and bomber pilots…
There is an episode in Belgium where they got germans that surrendered, they had no guns, were hungry and tired, they got executed while kneeling cos of their uniforms, a british guy wrote in his records “and then the belgium women began to cry as if their children died. Because they died”.. they were belgian conscripts… and this episode happened lots and lots of times…
Ofc war is awful itself, and it’s not the allies who started it. But when you say “i’m better than he is” you gotta be real better, if you’re not, in some cases you may even be worse
"Well I belive you, but if I can't see the bugger, I bloody well can't shoot him, can I?"
Out of context, for no real reason, these lines, and the way he delivers them has been stuck in my head like a pimple since I first saw this episode.
It's just such a stereotypical British thing to say.
Most British interaction of the war
The Tiger (🐯) sees YOU ...
Whether YOU see him or NOT! 👁
"Hey theres a tank over there"
"Nah"
I remember documentary an American soldier tried to warn British tank in a Sherman not to go down the road only thing he told i wouldn't go down there they got a big one which was a tiger they didn't listen that was the end of that crew
ROE and that brits undying loyalty to it got him smoked.
"I don't see him" proceeds to look in the skyline for a tank...
First time watching i Yelled. TIGER!!
"Parker, get out" -
That's an oh shit moment
I am like 95 percent sure that in the book it was a sniper in a bell tower. Here it actually makes sense to not fire through an entire god damn house, but in the book they just needed to take the top off a bell tower, and still didn’t.
"tanks are vulnerable without infantry support."
Also the tank:
Bro, ping the map 💀
Apparently that property was more important than his life And that of his crew's
No unnecessary destruction of property?
Tell that one to Monte Cassino.
That Tank would probably spontaniously combust if you shot it a few times because its a Tiger.
Love to hear that Detroit engine roar..
I think you mean rolls Royce
It was joever with the panther but the stug was overkill
This could have been avoided if he just said ''HE IS AT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THAT BUILDING OVER THERE''. No instead he says ''kraut tank 100 yards on the left part of this haystack '' , ''put some shots in that building'', ''hes right there''.
It was at that moment he knew that he had _buggered_ up
