The driver quit 💀

The idea of using tank guns as turrets is actually ingenious. It's simple, easy, less time consuming to setup and it doesn't require you to have a separate facility to manufacture the parts needed. It saves money, time, manpower and makes for more efficient logistics.

Imagine chilling with the homies in a panther turret bunker. Must have been hella chill

When you want to be in a tank but you are ordered by your command for defense:

Simple History: “We’re having to place adverts in our videos as we’re low on money” Simple History: “I’ve just bought an F-35 jet plane”

When the driver quits you must improvise -commander hanz -

Couple corrections here: 1. Sherman’s were not obsolete as revisionist history makes them out to be. They were less powerful, but more than capable to penetrate the armor of a Tiger or even Panther V by 1944. it does ultimately depend on the variant though. The early Sherman’s were excellent in North Africa, but were very much outclassed by the Tigers at this time. Thankfully very few Tigers were in Africa or the western front in general. 2. The Allied Air Force was legit superior, however, they very seldom ever hit tanks due to the small size (compared to the fast speed the planes approach in). Instead, the Allied air forces focused more heavily on wiping out reinforcing tanks still on the railway or hampering German logistics entirely. The P-47 was amazing with this! The Mosquitoes were also excellent in the African theatre.

This video more addresses the purpose and use of panther turret bunkers and less the life inside one of these. Sure there are some beds that can fold up, there's a stove, it's probably cramped though there's some storage space and an escape way. You get into combat like you're suppose to. But what of the actual life inside one of these things? What shifts do the soldiers take, do they sit and guard an area inside the bunker or is there an outside area they chill at with other crews until the enemy is spotted and then run to their bunker? What's the food and water situation? How do they communicate to those outside of the bunker, whether directly outside or distant? Toilets? From morning to night, what do they do?

The dot at the end of "Ausf." indicates that this is an abbreviation. In verbal communication the word is spoken completely: "Ausführung" (Roughly "implementation", "model" or a bit more remote "variant")

Hey simple history can you do a cross section of the ratte tank ?

Thanks for all the content. Truly good stuff ❤

Little correction , no Panther had 80mm side armour . 60mm was max with the new Schmalturm . And we in Austria build these bunkers along the Danube river in the I believe 1960's , with Centurion turrets . You can still find them today in the woods .

Holy wow massive upgrade to your content quality. Great show!!

Thank you for all the great videos

interestingly there seems to be an opportunity that was overlooked: the thickness of a tanks armour was limited by weight constraints, which in turn come from the mobility requirements of a tank a stationary tank turret is not mobile, the weight rests on an immobile under-construction. it would have been possible to up-armour such turrets. a lot.

Simple History clearly ordered those Vomlets as a terror attack on Oversimplified's Birthday by swapping all of the chili mac, beef stew and buffalo chicken with this crime against humanity. Don't worry, he was generous enough to leave some "milk" from Mongolia.
