It was funny seeing wehrboos getting angry at him in YouTube comments for making fun of gohering's idea that the Germans could air supply the 6th in Stalingrad.

this isn't new nigger get with the program.

People should rightfully mock Goering because he made empty promises many times which had larger effects on the plans and actions of the German military

>The Luftwaffe can smash Britain into submission before we begin Sealion

Basically the History Channel from about 5 years ago.

I thought you said he said, "Does a bear shit in the woods?" about half a decade ago.

>>the Wehrmacht could win Vietnam
Well, so long as you dont care so much about having Vietnamese left over.

But it wasn't Goering who claimed that...

Honestly if the Wehrmacht had equipped with whatever tech the Germans had in the sixties, I’m sure they could’ve genocided all they up to the north

>m1 carbine shoots 45 acp
FUCK them for that, I thought that until recently and it was problem that channel that I got it from.

Theres a channel called the military history channel on my guide on my cable box, but i dont get that channel. Alot of the old military and history channel shows are on it, even mail call.

Ive never heard them say m1 carbine shoots .45acp just that studies after the war concluded that it was just as effective as .45acp.

Shouldn't you be in bed? It's a school night.

Newfag zoomer scum.

Remember when people used to call the history channel the Hitler channel because it was 24/7 WW2 stuff? What the hell does it even air nowadays?

it was a episode of weaponology
I don't remember what the topic was but I remember this guy saying "if I found out you shot me with this id be M A D"

trust me it happened and I was misinformed for far too long

Mostly reality TV, like Mountain Men or Pawnstars

I mean, they called it the Hitler channel because it was just Nazi stuff 24/7. Half of it wasn't even about the war; it was shit like "Searching for golden Nazi UFOs hidden in Argentina"
As for now, it's pretty much all reality shows. Ice Road Truckers, Pawn Stars, Ice Road Stars, Bigfoot Hunters. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a show now that's just three obese rednecks on rascals talking about how much they hate niggers.

Came here to post this.

Hes a kike too btw.

You get one hour of actual history in the morning with Modern Marvels or some other older show, then it's American Pickers, Pawn Stars, dipshits inna swamp, Counting Cars (decent show but not really History). Wednesdays are Forged in Fire. Fridays are Ancient Ayy lmaos.

>Ah, the infamous Sherman. Often referred to as the 'Tommy Cooker' by the Germans. The nickname referred to when the Germans starving from lack of rations, would scavenge destroyed Sherman tanks for the precious cooked meat inside. In fact, the designers of the Sherman designed it to light every time, so that cooking of the crews was guaranteed. Of course, the Germans would often eat the allied tank crews whether they were cooked or not, regardless. My grandpappy told me this in great detail when I was a young boy. Truly the horrors of war

holy shit dude

>ameriblobs unironically believe the sherman wasn't a complete piece of shit

Attached: 1540204040288.jpg (225x225, 9K)

in what way?
armor was superior to the IV and T-34
gun was sufficient for the purposes of infantry support and tackling stugs and IVs
mobility was superior to the IV and comparable to the T-34, trading top speed for handling

in terms of reliability and maintenance, it was superior to all its competitors
and that alone probably earns it the top spot

Your that fag from Jow Forums a few days ago arent you?
>muh sherman is best tank!

Might want to show respect to the generation that's gonna save humanity from your best attempts to ruin everything.

Attached: you in.jpg (600x450, 58K)

it was very good in the infantry support role, it was completely unmatched in the cavalry role, and it was very good at leading an armored assault
it was a very good tank that could tackle nearly every job a tank was supposed to do and it did it well

its only real deficiency was in tank vs tank action, however this is a relative rarity compared to its other roles, and it had a 2/3 chance to meet a stug or IV, an enemt it could handle very well with its 75mm or steam roll with a 76mm
it was deficient in off-road mobility compared to the T-34, but still superior to the panzer IV

The Russians generally enjoyed the Sherman over the T-34. Really, the only complaint they had was that it was easy to roll over.

M4 armor was actually equal to the T-34
and would have been immune to the 5cm gun from the front except at close range

I think the Sherman is a great tank but the Russians preferred the T-34 over the Sherman, just like most lend-lease equipment. The Sherman just wasnt designed to do what the Russians wanted it to do, which is to charge I to a line of PAK-40s and somehow miraculously survive. T-34 is better for the Zerg rush "tactic" that the soviets liked to use because the t-34 is lower and has better armor.

Why don't we own 100%?

russians loved the M4, praising, among other things, how safe it was as well as its reliability
they also had no problems with the 75mm gun and adored the 76mm gun
they noted that the interior was basically a palace in comparison to the T-34 and had to guard it at night because fellow russians would steal the cushions

as for armor, its armor effectively equal, having 93mm of frontal armor, compared to the T-34s 94mm

they preffered the T-34 over all because it was more numerous and its what they made
but they certainly loved their shermans and their crews wouldn't swap out

Because despite all the cuckoldry other countries enforce on their citizens, there are still freedom-loving individuals who have the will to stand up for themselves

God I miss the days of old boomers staring their shity opinions on camera when it came to these military shows, and it just being portrayed as totally factual.

As bullshit as they were, they were comfy.

But the sight has 2700 stamped on it so it must true

Not sure what a lighter has to do with a tank. Maybe because all tankers smoked because it was a stressful job?

>reality tv
Why is it still called the History Channel?

>implying that history isn't reality
That's a whole new level of redpilled

I heard that the U.S. Ordnance Department was aware of the Sherman being a 'Tommy Cooker', and attempted to implement various measures to address this issue. The design team was lead by Sheldon Rosenstein, a convicted child-beater, arsonist, and avid necrophiliac. Sheldon was reportedly pen-pals with Shiro Ishii, and Oskar Dirlewanger. When questioned about these letters outgoing to hostile countries, Sheldon replied that he was merely exchanging 'tips and tricks'. Sheldon's team designed a mechanism that would lock the crew hatches shut, thus trapping the crew, when smoke was detected inside the sherman after being penetrated and set alight. Not only that, but apparently there was also a following feature that was a re-take on the Brazen Bull. When the crew was burning to death, their screams would be amplified by speakers that projected outside the tank. The U.S. Ordnance Department justified these features by proclaiming that the Germans would be frightened by the hellish screams of the sherman crews being incinerated, and allied soldiers would be more motivated to fight hard, lest the same fate befall them. Sheldon also later devised a system that had a 1 in 59 chance of setting off an explosive charge in the ammunition storage every time the Sherman's engine was turned on. Supposedly, this was to 'test the crew's luck before battle'. This innovation was well-received by the U.S. Army, but was rejected for budgetary reasons. Upon receiving news of the Army's rejection, Sheldon bludgeoned his manservant to death with a fire iron in a fit of unstoppable rage. Years after the war, Sheldon tragically died in a fire, of which he had started in a New York orphanage.

i believe it

>you can tell that the AK was designed to be used in full auto because the first notch in the fire selector is full auto then semi
In reality it is much easier to just slap the selector down for semi auto than to carefully select full

I thought all the way down was auto?

Nope, all the way down is semi and some aks have a three round burst mode (Or two round burst on a Ruski design that I forgot the name on)

I know AN/94 has two round burst. But thats not an akm.

Counting cars is boomer taste trash. Forged in fire is for real niggas

It would make some sense if he implied that it was the first smokeless round in US service even though this statement is also wrong. He also told us that the trapdoor was the first metallic cartridge rifle.

I fear the future we're heading towards user, will war even be declared?

the Sherman wasn't bad for what the Americans were doing (fighting a war literally across Africa, Europe, and the Pacific), it did kinda fail against the bigger more advanced tanks of the Germans in the late war, but the Germans couldn't produce enough of the big tanks because they didn't have the resources to keep up, unlike the Americans and the Soviets.

but atwater is a literal retard. also his fucked up bald ass head makes him look like one of the brainlet wojaks.
