About French Tanks, StuGs and Engines featuring Tom from Tank & AFV News

Originally, this was planned as a talk about French Armor Doctrine in / pre WW2, yet, we got a BIT off-track - surprise. We talk about French Tanks, Armor Doctrine, Battle of France, StuGs, Tank Destroyers, Guderian, Tank Engines, Production, etc. etc. Check out Tom’s Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnhGvzGPVHDbgg8GFCfkStw/videos?sort=p&view=0&flow=grid Check out Tom’s Blog: https://tankandafvnews.com Videos mentioned/referred to in this video: Chieftain’s S-35: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PmA84cl-eo The Holy Trinity of Tanks is flawed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3oUeIZ5ieU StuGs – Sturmartillerie Organization: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFXZcC1xZnI Panzer I: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQbhtINly1E Panzer IV vs. S- 35: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKC4UcW7Tgc How Germany Cheated Versailles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSXrFgG2JLk Torpedo Scandal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po5gkF6TaQg Guderian – Myth & Reality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTgf3UHMBjY »» SUPPORT MHV «« » paypal donation - https://paypal.me/mhvis » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/mhv » subscribe star - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view?language=en_GB »» MERCHANDISE - SPOILS OF WAR «« » teespring - https://teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized » redbubble - https://www.redbubble.com/people/mhvis/shop » SOURCES « Doughty, Robert A.: The Seeds of Disaster: The Development of French Army Doctrine, 1919-1939 amazon.com (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/2XEuYRl amazon.de (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/2NGB1Aa Moran, Nicholas: Inside the Chieftain's Hatch: SOMUA S35 part 1.

A comment on the impression the Char B gave you on speed. I was in perceptual psychology class that larger objects seem to be slower than smaller ones at the same speed. The professor gave the example or airplanes where a Boeing 747 appears to be slower than a smaller aircraft although it is as fast or even faster. But if you were there in person maybe tis pure optical effect is overruled by the perception of the earth trembling or sound, I am not an expert but spontaneusly I wouldn't say that the size might have fooled you to assume that it is faster than it actually is.

With regard to German experiences from the Anschluss (and the CSSR and the Memelland): One can say that this is operational experience, which is when you introduce a new weapon on a large scale as important if not even more important than tactical experience. Just to point out that in this case one can draw a clear line of distinction between tactical and operational level.
