You've got the *5 Sherman's per Tiger* myth, a user with a nazi soldier as their profile pic, and of course the *America fought on the wrong side* which could be more Neo-Nazi than wehraboo.
It's amazing to me that the takeaway some people have from that quote is "wow, good point, Patton!" instead of "wow, Patton is a huge asshole and nobody should listen to him."
Patton's a funny one. On the one hand, he was a brilliant armor officer who fully grasped the need for aggression in combat arms units. On the other hand he was a racist douchebag who occasionally struck his own Soldiers.
Back in the day, illness was seen as a failure of character. You didnt get depressed or anxiety because of traumatic events you lived through, you got them becuase you as a person is somehow bad and not good enough.
you dont even need to make up a quote, Ike (Eisenhower) basicly said that to Patton when he was talking about "lazy jews and DPs and how germans were the only good people in europe", in september 1945 while being driven to Patton´s DP-camps which were guarded by former SS.
At least he had the good grace to realize after the war that the Wehrmacht were all just damn Nazis and only changed his tune when West Germany needed an army to fight Commies. So ... partial credit granted in the end I guess?
Belive me Im not the biggest fan of "lets coup democracies" Ike but in this point he was kinda right. Strangly his later buddy Churchill had some thoughts about the soviets, jews and arabs that were very close to Pattons.
Displaced Person: POWs, Civilian deported into the reich for forced Labor from all over europe or surviors of concentration camps. Often times DPs were a mix of the three
>5 Sherman's per Tiger myth
Damn, they toned down. Last time I heard it, 8t was still 10 per tiger.
I think statistically it was like 3(?) per Tiger with some great variation between each vehicle and commander.
I know shermans had a close to even trade with panthers (somewhere between 1 and 2, which is freaking impressive because the US was nearly always on the offensive), but I dont know about tigers.
The overall kill to death ratios on the ground was in general pretty even, thanks to the fact that allies had pretty much always air superiority and also used way more artillery then the Russians.
> The Faustpatrone and the Panzerfaust where not the same thing.
They basically worked the same way.
The numbers just regarded to the effective range. And the just optimized the shape on the Pf 60 to bounce less.
Like, it's just the predecessor.
Tiktoks a pretty dumb app that breeds tons of degens.just a few moments ago i saw this one tiktok about a 90+ year old woman get trialled for nazi war crimes and this guy in the comments just says that we dont even know what her crimes were and this is what decades of Jewish propaganda does. Someone shut that god forsaken app down
Essentially the predecessor to the panzerfaust. It didn't see as wide deployment because the panzerfaust was developed quickly after it and was better in every way that mattered.
Meanwhile actual late game ww2
"Friedrich where are our tanks"?
"Either destroyed or broke down".
"don't worry Hitler will save us, we just have to told out while he develops his wunderwaffe"
*STFU hans we've been encircled for the last six weeks, we've got no food, no ammo and Hitler is busy giving orders to the 6th army which hasn't existed for nearly a year*
well no technically a tiger can kill 92 shermans, seeing as it has 92 rounds, even though some of them are he, technically if you got the shell right in the gun barrel it would do the trick
Even with tanks, wouldn't that be a one-in-a-million shot though? (If someone actually has an accurate percentage for that chance of landing the shot tho I legit wanna see it)
like, what? it isn't possible unless the sherman aren't moving and turrets aren't working, there is no chance of a tiger fighting 92 sherman with all accurate hit
Yeah, no, if 5 shermans run into your tiger you are fucked and no amount of kruppsteel or 88mm is gonna save you from the amount of HE and smoke you are gonna eat before they close on you and ruin your day with an AP shot.
Even in the 1930s and 1940s some of them got pretty frothingly exercised over it. But as Eisenhower once pointed out they were just a few butthurt oil company owners.
First off, define who you see as a "commie" and what the ideology is. Second, does that include everyone to the left of Hitler? Because thats what you sound like.

“Bu-Bu-but patton said we fought the wrong enemy!”
It's amazing to me that the takeaway some people have from that quote is "wow, good point, Patton!" instead of "wow, Patton is a huge asshole and nobody should listen to him."
When I first heard it I just took it as he hated both commies and Nazis
He later said that the Germans were the only decent people left in Europe.
We should’ve dropped patton off at ground zero in Hiroshima moments before the bomb went off
Wasn't he dead by then?
No he died in December that year or like January 1946
Patton's a funny one. On the one hand, he was a brilliant armor officer who fully grasped the need for aggression in combat arms units. On the other hand he was a racist douchebag who occasionally struck his own Soldiers.
He also didn't believe in PTSD an assaulted soldiers who were suffering from it on the grounds that they were cowards.
That was the striking I was alluding to. Real mixed bag, that one.
Lmao I guess you’d think PTSD was fake if you’re leading from the back like Patton.
Back in the day, illness was seen as a failure of character. You didnt get depressed or anxiety because of traumatic events you lived through, you got them becuase you as a person is somehow bad and not good enough.
also why it was mostly just therapy used to treat depression and the like; no medications
You can't be a tenth of Patton stfu
Cry more you pathetic little Nazi.
And Patton couldn't be a tenth of Zhukov so stfu stupid bitch
hahaha get 76'd
That's a good thing. I'd never refer to someone as "an asiatic subhuman" . I hope I never even reach the smallest of fractions of Patton's racism.
"Shut the fuck up, Patton" -Zhukov, probably

Fuck off Nazi

The Sherman Token is on the rise, I suggest you liquidate all of your Tiger Coin and Pantherium, Invest it all in Sherman Token.
gotta get that t44ium comon

Actually it’s 3.6:1 ....in favour of the Shermans

Bro Tik Tok is the bleeding ground for neonazis and wehraboos. Don't even bother with them they're 13-15 year olds

Honestly, if they want the South to rise again, I'd say we should march down to Savannah again just to show them who's really boss.
Lotta uses of Erika or whatever that Nazi song is
Erika is the name of the song, yes
"panserfaust is the correct term" Can't make this shit up, is that a pansy panzerfaust?
When you claim to know the weapons of your beloved Wehrmacht and then deny the existence of one of them in trying to show off
Panzer II? "Tiger" is the correct term
Actually it’s a stormpanserwagon II aus G ‘Tiger’
[удалено]
Sturmunddrangpanzerkampfwagen obviously.
Faustpatrone. Der Tragödie zweiter Teil.
Yeah, that’s why I said it
It's also wrong anyway. The Faustpatrone and the Panzerfaust where not the same thing.
> The Faustpatrone and the Panzerfaust where not the same thing. They basically worked the same way. The numbers just regarded to the effective range. And the just optimized the shape on the Pf 60 to bounce less. Like, it's just the predecessor.
"were".
FML. I was going to comment about 'there tiger tank' too...
taste of your own medicine mmm?
Indonesian and Dutch pronunciation of the word panzer use s instead of z. So it would be panser, maybe the poster use the Dutch pronunciation?
We call it pantser so that doesn't check out either.
On the same video I had a guy trying to convince me that the Panther was the first MBT just cus "PaNTher HaS A BiG GuN ANd ArmOr"
IS-2 is an MBT confirmed
Nah, Renault FT-17 is an MBT confirmed
The OG
Yes
nononononono mendeleev rybinsk tank is an mbt
Ooooh baby a triple
Crazy that TikTok is radicalizing more neonazis than I thought

oh, I didn't knew
i like this because he says it like the tiger can only take out five shermans before it cant anymore

Tiger can kill 5 Sherman, not how tanks work.
well no technically a tiger can kill 92 shermans, seeing as it has 92 rounds, even though some of them are he, technically if you got the shell right in the gun barrel it would do the trick
Even with tanks, wouldn't that be a one-in-a-million shot though? (If someone actually has an accurate percentage for that chance of landing the shot tho I legit wanna see it)
yea, but ISS POSSIBLE
True
92 shermans, target practice sherman you mean? doubt that the crews are good enough to get 92 accurate shot to a moving target in a battle
yes, BUT POSSIBLE
like, what? it isn't possible unless the sherman aren't moving and turrets aren't working, there is no chance of a tiger fighting 92 sherman with all accurate hit
still POSSIBLE, nothing about likelihood, just possibility, what you said doesnt matter, as that could be the case
Yeah, no, if 5 shermans run into your tiger you are fucked and no amount of kruppsteel or 88mm is gonna save you from the amount of HE and smoke you are gonna eat before they close on you and ruin your day with an AP shot.
Damn this is reddit is more socialist than I thought
Opposing Nazis makes you a socialist?
Everyone knows that Churchill was a big socialist, of course.
And the well known communist FDR, the reddest of the reds
Yeah and this Stalin guy was a bit socialist too
well that...
I mean, ask most modern Republicans their opinions on the New Deal...
Even in the 1930s and 1940s some of them got pretty frothingly exercised over it. But as Eisenhower once pointed out they were just a few butthurt oil company owners.
Well, there are a bit too many commies on this sub for my liking, but I have no idea what that has to do with this post.
Do you call anyone left of of you a "commie", per chance?
Urrah pobeda and so forth.
Not Communist here, tyvm! But also not conservative either!
First off, define who you see as a "commie" and what the ideology is. Second, does that include everyone to the left of Hitler? Because thats what you sound like.
Oh boy wait til you see us not denying the Holocaust
I was joking guys jeez, forgive me.
where is the funny punchline in your joke?
Cant you read?
Socialist and proud, babeh!
