What happened to the 508?

>Over its lifetime, the battalion claimed to have knocked out more than 100 enemy tanks; 59 percent of its own 78 losses were from crews destroying their vehicles, while only 19 percent were destroyed by the Allied forces.

Germans got eaten alive in the ETO in both land and air, I bet my pants if someone got to check the vatnik archives one would discover those claims are the usual propaganda gibberish. Pity the russkies are autistic on archival access

Shut the fuck up you LARPing queer.

shut the fuck up you fucking stinking burger, im a dutch guy who can literally trace back his entire recorded family history back to the 1300s, not my fault we actually stayed to live in one place, and its always the fucking saxons to our east fucking shit up, look into it, the nazis hated franks just like their saxon forefathers

daily reminder that fighters from the french SS division were the last defenders of berlin

whose talking about french traitors lol, im frankish not french

Dabbing on inferior russian hardware and personnel isn't anything special Hans.

Your technical superiority didn't save you in North Africa, Normandy at Cherbourg, it didn't let you escape the falaise pocket, your technical superiority didn't save Caen, it failed you at Arracourt and it didn't win the Battle of the Bulge.

Classic Wehraboo bait threads.
Yeah, the tanks looked cool, but they were plagued with reliability issues and just because they had a high kill count doesn't mean they were right for the war that Germany found itself in.
Hell, the Royal Tiger used two gallons to get a mile, and the Nazis were running out by 1941. But yeah, complain that it was evil joo Bolshevik communism imperialism that stopped the horribly managed Socialist Imperial war machine.

>mfw burgers and teebs unironically think their part in the war even pales in comparison to the scale of combat on the eastern front
it's a good thing you cucks spent almost a year fighting 2nd rate troops/reservists/teenagers instead of the guys who went through 3-4 years of continuous combat on the eastern front without leave.

Hitler dies and the Nazi party falls apart leaving Germany in control but completely directionless?

>expensive
Germany devoted more of its armaments production to its fucking navy than it did to tanks and SPGs, and in 1943 they made up < 7% of total weapons output.

The importance of tanks in WW2 is almost as big of a meme as the tanks themselves.

should have listened to patton famalam

>Hitler dies and the Nazi party falls apart
imagine getting your history from man in the high castle

Everyone in the line of succession hated each others guts and only Goebbels was the only one who had any popularity with the people. Also alt-history is trash.

that doesnt mean the party falls apart, you are talking out of your ass

There's always some losers questioning German numbers but they never have anything to back it up.
One Russian "historian" in the 90s or early 2000s published an article to debunk Erich Hartmann's count and put it at 60-ish. The article was full of factual errors and was itself debunked.
Another "historian" claimed that Hans Ulrich Rudel's achievements were fake and put his total at roughly 50 without a single fact to back that up. Just based on vague things like "it was difficult to hit a tank from a plane so I don't think it can be that high"

Goering was an object of national ridicule and even in his own air force, especially after the war started. Himmler had virtually no influence outside the SS. Goebbels was a well known figure but had little respect within the Wehrmacht. None of them could stand any of the others leading. I can see a man standing on railroad tracks with a train rushing towards him, I can get a pretty good idea what will happen next.

Alright pal, whatever you say. I'm sure you're definitely a part of an ethnicity that hasn't existed since the 7th century.

In late February, two Shermans were captured; their turrets were removed and they were converted into recovery vehicles, greatly improving the ability of the battalion to recover damaged Tigers

i dont get the point of showing a dead body in a tank and claiming the tank is a death trap because of it

war is inherently dangerous and unsafe, and even a very well made tank will inevitably suffer from casualties and often gruesome deaths
if 4/5 people survive, then that would be extremely safe for a WW2 tank
the fifth man was unlucky to be sure, but that doesnt mean he was riding in an unsafe tank

by this logic, the bob semple would be the safest tank in the world because no pictures of casualties were ever taken

AND THEY STILL LOST

In every single one of those battles they were 1. heavily outnumbered, 2. out of fucking fuel, or 3. had literal 15 year olds with no training driving tanks

What historian hasn't been debunked counting the numbers?

>designed to destroy enemy tanks at a favorable ratio to justify its cost
>can only build 1500 of them, far too few to create any sort of strategic impact on the battlefield
>is heavy and fuel inefficient, making it difficult to transport and maintain

anyone can make a tank that can destroy a very high amount of enemy tanks, if they are willing to invest enough time and money into doing so
its just that its very rare for such a design to be really worthwhile
