Скачать или смотреть Germany’s Abandoned WW2 Tanks — What the Allies Didn’t Tell You

When Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945, the war in Europe ended — but the battlefield was still covered in thousands of abandoned tanks. Panthers, Tigers, Panzer IVs, and assault guns sat broken on roads, hidden in forests, and left in ruined factories across the continent.

So what happened to them?

In this video, we explore the forgotten aftermath of World War II and reveal what the Allied powers did with Germany’s massive armored force. From U.S. testing at proving grounds, Soviet recovery operations, and British evaluations, to the large-scale destruction and scrapping of these once-feared machines, the story didn’t end when the fighting stopped.

Some tanks were studied. Some were reused. Many were melted down to rebuild Europe. A few even fought again years later.

This is the strange and rarely discussed fate of Germany’s abandoned WW2 tanks.
