discussion US armour V German TV program.

[Guest]

Morning all.
Anyone interested in the above may like to watch the
Smithsonian Channel ( ch 57 )
On the 30th March .
I've seen the adverts for it and should be good, explaining the differences between the US armour and the German.

Apple TV+ also has a Smithsonian Channel, I noticed the other day — at least in the Netherlands, though, maybe not in the UK.

Should be a very short program.....

Welcome to the show.

As you all know. German armour was far superior to American armour.

Thanks for watching.

:smiling3:

cheers John,
I will keep an eye out.

German armor while deemed by some to be "far superior" to American armor leave out the facts that they were mostly "over-engineered" production
and maintenance nightmares and broke down before even getting to the combat zone.

I suppose being Scottish it's the closest we've got to the "ol' enemy" Alan :tears-of-joy: :tears-of-joy: :tears-of-joy: :tears-of-joy: :tears-of-joy:

[AlanG]

I have no doubt you'll be watching (and re-watching) for any discrepancies regarding the inner workings of a StuG Bob

[BattleshipBob]

Not sure which service that is on John but for those that have Sky TV it is on channel 160

 

[topgazza]

I don't have Sky but I think I can "track" the programme down. Geddit ?

 

[Guest]

Cheers John for the heads up will try and catch it.

Hi Alan , just on a normal tv, not sky,or anything. It's a channel that's new to me.
No doubt there will be lots of inaccuracies , and maybe even film that was shot in the East, as I've seen that before.:smiling:
But saying that I shall watch and enjoy.

Why Alan, I would hope that was not meant in a "Xenophobic or borderline racist" way. :smiling5:
