The past is a foreign country, but lucky for you, I've got a passport. Join me as we journey back to the 1940s and explore the triumphs, and tragedies of WW2

Talking about this very famous clip, this is the actual tank and crew in question:

The battle between the Panther and the Pershing is still one of the most amazing pieces of footage I have seen.

If you haven't read the story, you should!

And I think there is a stabilised version of the video!!!

Currently reading about about the Division Azul, the Spanish volunteer division that fought in Stalingrad as part of the German 6th army.

Those numbers are the wingspans of the planes, used to adjust the EZ-42 computing gun sight on a German FW190

I know we are far from the commemorations of D-DAY, but reading this always gives me goosebumps

[WW2_Guy @PIXEL_146]

The most valuable asset for Germany's mechanised wing... and they were abandoned, so many of them....

Watching so many of those Tiger tanks makes you wonder how much this lost contributed to the bad results in the East

[WW2_Guy @PIXEL_146]

I need to start researching a bit more about the countries in South America, and how they got involved with the war... Here is a Mexican poster against the Nazis

@WW2Today such an Iconic weapon!

[WW2_Guy @PIXEL_146]

@WW2Facts @BritishPathe Are the tracers going up being shot from the ship or are those just bullet rebounding from the surface of the water/ship

[WW2_Guy @PIXEL_146]

@JamieMctrusty Beautiful bird, and named after my favourite city in the UK :)

[WW2_Guy @PIXEL_146]

@WW2Today That was the plane that was made of mostly wood, right?

[WW2_Guy @PIXEL_146]

@Jason_R_Burt A bad ass photo!

[WW2_Guy @PIXEL_146]

@project4_4 I'd say that the story of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion is worth telling...

So many important mission they carried out

[WW2_Guy @PIXEL_146]

A German aircraft crashed into a house in London in 1940.

[WW2_Guy @PIXEL_146]

We often forget that Germans resisted the Nazis publicly before the came into power.

This is an image from 1932:

@DawsonNewsNet @Jason_R_Burt 😄😄

[WW2_Guy @PIXEL_146]

@WW2HQ Looks similar to the earlier versions of French tanks. Am I mistaken?

[WW2_Guy @PIXEL_146]

@greenhill_books There was a documentary about this particular operation. Really interesting!

[WW2_Guy @PIXEL_146]

@RealTimeWWII Members tried to sabotage Nazi efforts where they could, worked to save the lives of child inmates, and in the last days of the camp, with many Nazis fleeing the approaching allied troops, tried to gain control of the camp itself.
