I'm stunned as to how big this tank is. He looks as if he's standing next to an exaggerated almost cartoonish representation of what a tank is. A great visual effect.

It's been a rough day today. But a Tank Chat always makes things better!

They are just monstrous though aren't they. I imagine soldiers facing these would feel a great sense of dread even if they only saw a knocked out Jadgtiger on the battlefield.

Porsche done more to defeat Germany than one allied general.

tragic that mr porsches contributions to the allied war effort have never been formally recognized. he should have a vc, a medal of honor, and an order of lenin at least.

In Otto Carius memoirs he recollects seeing a gun sticking out behind a building. In the end they fire at the building, penetrating the building and the tank behind it; an M36 Jackson, knocking it out instantly. That's how powerful this gun is.

The little bits of footage of the tanks moving around the museum and the historical footage as well add a lot to the video! Thanks for making these episodes! Great job :D
