| 5s | in September of 1939 Poland succumbed to |
| 9s | German armored columns it was the first |
| 11s | time that Germany employed a combined |
| 13s | arms surprise attack using a rapid |
| 16s | overwhelming force of armored formations |
| 19s | supported by aircraft and one of the |
| 21s | main contributors to the success of that |
| 23s | operation was the humble Panzer tank the |
| 26s | principal weapon of Blitz |
| 29s | Creed German military forces became |
| 32s | interested in developing their own tanks |
| 34s | as early as the mid 1920s during the |
| 37s | times of the vimar Republic after the |
| 39s | crushing defeat in World War I the |
| 41s | reiches ver had to deal with severe |
| 43s | restrictions and limited industrial |
| 45s | capacity but German authorities found a |
| 47s | way to evade prohibitions they claimed |
| 49s | that the vehicles they were working on |
| 51s | were just light tanks or even farm |
| 54s | equipment in reality the Reich ver |
| 56s | adopted the Franco British concept of |
| 58s | developing slow heavily armed armored |
| 60s | infantry tanks and faster more mobile |
| 63s | Cruiser tanks there was still a problem |
| 65s | with limited industrial capabilities |
| 67s | though and that's why German Engineers |
| 69s | had to curb their Ambitions and start |
| 71s | small with a light reconnaissance |
| 76s | tank it took them several years and |
| 78s | numerous failed attempts but finally the |
| 80s | pancer 1 was complete teams at kro and |
| 83s | diimler placed the engine in the back |
| 86s | the transmission in the front and the |
| 87s | turret for the Commander in the middle |
| 89s | it was not a failure by any means but |
| 91s | due to its light Armament of two machine |
| 93s | guns numerous suspension problems and |
| 96s | weak armor the pancer 1 was quickly |
| 98s | relegated to the sub bench as a training |
| 103s | vehicle between 1933 and 1935 Germany |
| 107s | adopted A New Concept for their Armed |
| 109s | Forces now they wanted a Triad three |
| 111s | tanks suited for different types of |
| 113s | missions the role of the light |
| 115s | reconnaissance vehicle was given to the |
| 117s | pancer 2 but the military regarded it as |
| 119s | a kind of temporary stop Gap solution a |
| 122s | somewhat improved and more practical |
| 124s | version of the previous model that they |
| 126s | could use while more advanced tanks were |
| 128s | still in development Engineers mounted a |
| 131s | 20 mm gun on the hull based on the |
| 133s | pancer 1 gave it new tracks and |
| 135s | suspension and replaced the old 40 |
| 137s | horsepower crup engine with a 130 |
| 140s | horsepower Maybach one the design and |
| 143s | layout of the engine compartment |
| 144s | remained largely the same but later |
| 146s | models received more reliable suspension |
| 149s | components |
| 153s | the development of the pancer 2 was |
| 155s | heavily influenced by the military |
| 157s | restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles |
| 159s | and the shortage of time initially it |
| 161s | was designed under the code name of |
| 163s | agricultural tractor |
| 165s | las100 and the early models were very |
| 167s | different from the later ones after the |
| 170s | start of production Engineers introduced |
| 172s | new changes almost every month touching |
| 174s | on everything from the design of the |
| 176s | fighting compartment to the Tank's |
| 177s | Transmission in War Thunder we have the |
| 180s | the more advanced variants of the tank |
| 182s | the Panzer 2C and the paner 2f featuring |
| 185s | thicker armor the latter was the final |
| 187s | major tank version of the pancer 2 |
| 190s | Series serving as an effective |
| 191s | reconnaissance vehicle thanks to its |
| 193s | updated Vision equipment and a new |
| 195s | Commander |
| 200s | [Music] |
| 201s | coupa the initiative to develop the TU |
| 204s | Fagen A specialized vehicle for a |
| 206s | platoon Commander resulted in the |
| 208s | creation of the paner 3 the plan was to |
| 211s | give the new tank a 37 mm gun a 300 |
| 214s | horsepower engine and enough armor in |
| 216s | the front to protect it from French 25 |
| 218s | mm cannons Engineers spent several years |
| 221s | experimenting with different suspension |
| 223s | designs but in the end adopted for a |
| 225s | torsion bar suspension due to its |
| 227s | reliability ease of Maintenance and |
| 229s | overall |
| 232s | capability the paner 3 had even more |
| 234s | variants than its predecessor the first |
| 237s | order for this new tank came in 1935 but |
| 240s | the the last paner 3 rolled off the |
| 242s | factory floor in |
| 243s | 1943 during that time it received |
| 246s | several weapon upgrades it's gun first |
| 248s | replaced with a 50 mm Cannon and later |
| 251s | with a short barreled 75mm one even its |
| 254s | role changed the vehicle that was used |
| 256s | as a command tank during the blitz cre |
| 258s | gradually became the main medium tank of |
| 260s | the Vermont what made it stand out |
| 263s | amongst its peers was a nice combination |
| 265s | of armor Firepower and Mobility when the |
| 268s | likes of the t34 entered the Fray though |
| 270s | the third generation of pancers lost |
| 272s | their Edge and they were absolutely no |
| 275s | match to the Soviet Heavies like the |
| 277s | tanks of the KV |
| 282s | series finally there was the paner 4 |
| 285s | also known as big light fogon which was |
| 287s | intended to be a support tank armed with |
| 289s | a short barreled Howitzer Lake 75 mm gun |
| 293s | German Engineers utilized everything |
| 295s | they learned developing the previous |
| 297s | generations of pancers and created a |
| 299s | highly vers vertile platform that could |
| 301s | Mount powerful weapons thanks to its |
| 303s | armor this paner proved to be effective |
| 306s | against other tanks and later it was |
| 308s | upgunned with the long barreled kwk 40 |
| 311s | tank gun consequently this model |
| 313s | remained in production till the very end |
| 315s | of the war outliving all other tanks of |
| 317s | the pancer family it was pancer |
| 320s | divisions that were the principal weapon |
| 322s | of the German offensive throughout most |
| 323s | of the |
| 327s | war pancers were also used by bu ARA |
| 330s | Romania Hungary Italy and some captured |
| 334s | Vehicles were even adopted by the Soviet |
| 336s | military what do you think about this |
