Polish Liberation of Breda - Netherlands 1944

- čas přidán 20. 09. 2018
- Discover the fascinating story of how in 1944 a famed Polish armoured division serving with the British liberated a Dutch town and then, to commemorate the event, gave them a German Panther tank! It's a rare example of an early Panther Ausf. D and a remarkable survivor from one of the last campaigns of WWII.

The Poles were betrayed horribly by the allies after the war. Unsung heroes
I live 10 miles from breda. The poles liberated my village to
no...it is too as in 'tooth'.
as well , is for "ashwell".
@me hee screw you talk dutch like he does
I'm a big fan of all kinds of tanks from all nations during the war, but there is something special about the Panther that makes it stand out from the rest.
Emli. Panther. Coolest looking tank ever made.
Usually pass by this tank on my way to work. Thanks for a bit of background information!
Never knew this was there. I'm studying in Breda, so I'll see if I have some spare time tomorrow to go see the tank.
The sad thing is was in Breda several times in my teens, but never knew it was there until long after I returned to the US. This was pre internet
The things I would do for a panther in my yard
Play a very aggressive song
Great story and an unusual gift from the poles. These little tidbits of history are truly interesting, this channel has been superb
Amazing!
It’s incredible how Mark always give us never seen footage with every new story!
A pleasure to watch your videos. I just wish they could last 1 or 2 hours!!
Panther really was a beauty. Thanks for these videos.
GlasgowIsBlue it’s still a beauty
Yay! Finaly something about Polish!
They can never get the colours right on these restored vehicles.
Yes, some of them just don't look right.
In my mind grey white and black go great with German tanks
And I thought they were pink 🤪👍
@@bryanmartinez6600 great thinking 😉👍
Thoroughly enjoying this series, Mr. Felton. Excellent work, keep it up!
Nice to know. PS I’m Dutch and live about 20 Miles from Breda. And you pronounce “Breda” with the emphasis on the “a” so Bredaaaa
Another bloody marvellous short video. Thanks.
I'm so pleased you enjoyed it.
So good I had to watch it twice! Will share with a friend. Thanks, Mark!
Thanks for these video's, a new guilty pleasure
This channel is just splendid!
And it's splendid that you are watching!
Keep them coming ! This stuff and your presentations are awesome ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the kind comments!
Lol nice, I just visited this tank today. Didn't know you did a video about it.
Another great video!
love your videos!!
Mark , please notice....
There is battle damage just under the gun mantlet from a shell bouncing of the underside of the gun mantlet.
This was repeared in a manner that you can barely see it.
There’s a penetration from smallarms in the muzzlebrake on the left side.
It’s a Panther that’s been driven a lot as you can see from the wear of the tracks and sprocketwheels.
Great vid! Always interesting to learn another story of a Panther.
Interessant!
Is it just me or are the bulk of the surviving German Tanks Panthers? You’d think it would be Panzer IV’s or something just because there were so many more of them ?
i think it was because the panthers had good armor and gun but they had a tendency to have engine fires and be abandoned because of it or other problems
I know the Israelis have a Syrian Panzer IV at one of their museums.
It's probably because of the attention they get.
Danny Smith That makes good sense like 50 of them broke down on their way to Kursk
@@SupesMe well at least it wasn't a Ferdinand or Elephant
Mark, I'm a rather late arrival to your site but I'm pleased to have found it. Your stories, though short, are well researched and interesting. I particularly like the vintage footage you present. Keep up the good work.
My pleasure - glad you are enjoying the content
And if you look very closely you’ll see that it has damage just below the gun mantlet in the upper deck where there’s Some wending done ! And there’s a little hole in de muzzlebrake from smal gunfire , love those details .....
I've been so many times in Breda... How I never saw this tank !!??
Nice one mate
Wow! Your channel has exploded!
Onwards and upwards!
Mark Felton Productions discovered your channel a few weeks ago. Told my friends and colleagues how good good it is. Great content and informative. Good work my friend.
I live in Breda. This beauty is sitting in a posh neighbourhood.
According to some articles I have read, backed up by photos in Panzerwrecks books, since the D model Panthers had a lot of teething problems, most were withdrawn from service as the A models became available and taken to tank driving schools where they were used to teach drivers how to use the tanks. As with the Tigers, the Germans did not let drivers who were acquainted with panzer 4s simply change tanks but insisted that they learn on the actual vehicles. This does not mean that there were no D models in use in the army, there are photos of D models fighting in France after D-Day. But the majority of the older (2 years) Ds started to appear back again as the Allies got close to the German border in the final year of the war.
a engine for a cheap paint job, he came out smelling like a rose.
That tank in the end video looked bloody ominous . Can imagine the bugger hiding in a hedge waiting for a passing sherman .
What a beautiful machine!
Wunderbar!
Nice
What a beauty ! *,*
Everybody gangsta taking photos of the panther until it opens fire
Ty
Its a early version of the panther a ausf d you can see that due to the older turret and capola
(the older turret had a different gun mantlet and less armour) and the panthers track or the idler wheels are lower than they should be probably by sustaining damage or getting old by the years
If its a other varient than feel free to correct me
Why do I want to see a shell bounce off the front plate?
Hopefully they restore it to running condition
I'm proud we Dutchman have the only surviving panther D version in the world:)
@Dack Hacksaw source(s)?
Its sad that we dont have any in Poland. :(
Name of the music in the intro ?
thats a pretty fair deal on both sides! your parks rusted out national treasure gets restored on the outside for basically free in exchange for someone wanting to restore another panther with all non recreation parts? honestly good on them :P
they really need to bring these tanks indoors
Can you repair rust tank?
👍🏻
Panther still looks relevant even after 70+ years.
Thank you so much for the reuploads! Can you please also reupload the video about Hitler’s love life. I think 4 got deleted
Have you heard anything about the Panther that was found in a German man's basement? He also had a FLAK 88 and a torpedo in a mini museum. I recall that he had driven it, so it was operational at one point. The German government confiscated it, and that was the last I heard about it.
Stole is word you are looking for
Guess he didn’t restore the inside? Kinda stupid how people will let something like that rust away, when an attractive roof to match their “Decor” could have been put over it for not much more than the price of a couple of steak dinners. Just Saying! Thanks Mark!
FIFTY YEARS between restorations????
Sad that we dont have any of those tanks in Poland. But chillllll - we have shit ton of t34's. Ye i know that there is pzkpfw 4 in Kołobrzeg's musem but its in horrible condition.
Wow.. Told you about this 2 days ago.. Coincidence?? :)
It was already scheduled to be made - but it was good that you were thinking along those lines!
@@MarkFeltonProductions Thanks! Seen this tank many times, great video as always :)
Poland is a loving nation, they help the Austrians against the ottomans, then they got betrayed, years afterward Poland sacrifice and help other nations, But the allies sold Poland to the Soviets...
The Poles were attached to the First Canadian Army, which was itself attached to the British Twenty first Army Group.
Let's hope this video would not be discovered by Wargaming (especially N.A) stuffs so to give them idea for making a premium tank out of this "Breda Panther" :|
Ahh restored by Kevin Wheatcroft the king of the panzer
Panther is exposed in the wilhelmina park as you mention.
Did you know this park is named after our former coward queen who fled to safety as soon as the war broke out abondoning her loyal people?
Has no machine gun in the Hull weird
Not at all. A version didn't have hull machinegun
Never any love lost between Polish Army and the Wehrmacht. It was blood feud
If any German tank started to train it's gum on my position, I'd leave vapor trails running away!
Saw you in Hitler's Steel Beast.
Thanks - the French make some excellent documentaries
+Mark Felton Productions agreed
Poles defeating Nazis with tanks, how ironic
Is there a country on this Earth in which u can own a fully working tank, with the gun and everything else operational?
3:05 'When you find that one guy who's been spamming the Communist manifesto in your DMs'
What? No graffitti??? oh, yeh, I'm in Europe!!!
Man y dont They builde a Panther or tigre in the same form as in 1944 we have the tecnologi
