Why did the Chinese have German Panzers? - Sino-German Cooperation

The Nationalist Chinese Forces had various German equipment like artillery, armored cars, but even Panzers. This is quite surprising, especially considering that another Axis/Anti-Comintern member was fighting a war against China, namely Japan. This videos take a short look at the Sino-German Cooperation. »» SUPPORT MHV «« » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/mhv » paypal donation - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=TFHEY4P4YU3NY »» MERCHANDISE - SPOILS OF WAR «« » shop - https://www.redbubble.com/people/mhvis/shop »» SOCIAL MEDIA «« » minds.com - https://www.minds.com/militaryhistoryvisualized » facebook - https://www.facebook.com/milhistoryvisualized/ » twitter - https://twitter.com/MilHiVisualized » twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/militaryhistoryvisualized » RallyPoint - https://www.rallypoint.com/organizations/military-history-visualized » tumblr - http://militaryhistoryvisualized.tumblr.com/ Military History Vlogs is a support channel to Military History Visualized with a focus personal accounts, answering questions that arose on the main channel and showcasing events like visiting museums, using equipment or military hardware. » SOURCES « Showalter, Dennis: Bring In the Germans.

I really appreciate when you're talking about some quite unknown or misunderstood part of pre WWII history. I don't know much about Eastern History in this period and still don't know what to think about the bloody battles of Shanghai in the long run- Anti-Komintern China and Japan Vs Russia or the proof there were some ambiguities in German government or anything else? But one thing is sure in my mind, Von Seeckt did a hell of a job reforming an army that seemed to be a joke/ formality against Japanese expansionist intentions. Good job!

I actually planned a longer video on it in 2017, but wasn't too happy with the content, was mostly chronological. Then I got my hands on an OKH report about the Japanese Army performance in China, but find a proper angle. So, hopefully there will be more.

Excellent historical topic. Have not really seen this mentioned anywhere before as main focus has been on the Japanese vs UK/US side in most books I have read. Looking forward to what more you will find in this area.

You state that the German military and industry was pro-China in the late 1930's because China was the natural ally in Asia at that time. Why were they the natural ally? The German antipathy towards the Soviet Union, the hasty non-aggression pact not withstanding, would seem to align with the historic animosity between Japan and Russia.

from what I read, it was about the resources. Also due to the nazis there was a break in the direction of German diplomacy, e.g., the Soviet Union. With the treaty of Rapollo the Germans and Soviets collaborated on tanks, training, etc.
