so bruce can afford several tanks, armored vehicles and artillery pieces. but not an overhead crane for the shop.
the silent farmer he also can’t pronounce half his tanks correctly 😂
@@prestonwhite4129 and that too. but i mean come on. why rent a crane everytime they need to lift somthing. why not just buy one
@@ninus17 yeah i kinda wonder myself why part of his collection aint an ex army recovery vehicle
He's cheap. Probably haggles over these guys wages too.
I have a used 10 ton chain lift in my garage just for working on trucks, etc.. It is overkill, but it came up cheap after a large shop closed, so I grabbed it. I am sure there are similar deals floating about on the British Island somewhere. BTW, if you watch any old videos of German field repairs on their tanks, they used a variety of methods for lifting motors/transmission assembly's and gun change outs. If a tank recovery vehicle wasn't around, they used cable and chain along with a steel frame, all powered by another tank.
I love the fact that with the twins you actually learn so much, best parts of the show.
at 0:39 , they're showing a Jagdpanzer IV/70 not a Hetzer. Also they just completely forgot to mention that the Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer wasn't a German engineered tank destroyer, in fact a Czech design.
Well correct and incorrect. The Panzer 38(t) was a Czech desing, but Hetzer is a completely different tank, using Hull of a 38(t). Hetzer was a complete remodel of 38(t).
@@Herra_X Yes, I'm aware that the Hetzer is a redesign of the Panzer 38(t) into a Tank Destroyer form. Many turreted designs at the time were redesigned as tank destroyers. Just to name one example, the Porsche's Panzerjager Tiger (Which I'm sure you know this already). However I think it's irresponsible to not even point out the origin of the vehicle, it's rather misleading to people, and to people like myself, loses all credibility (especially when they show the wrong vehicle). Like I first stated, I think they should've at least mention the original origin of this design.
@@LinovichAkhotmy Yeah its sad that they didn't put effort in to telling about the origin of the Hull and show wrong footage of the actual tank.
No sir, the pz 38 t was, but that's just the chassis used for the vehicle, it is a German design.
@@matydrum I'm not going over this again xd
There’s like 40 of these things left, not to mention about 5 running ones
incorrect, after WW2 the Swiss army acquired a very large quantity of Hetzers and converted them to what was called a G13 which was almost visually identical to a hetzer. Every other running "Hetzer" in the world is a G13 with the two restored by the twins being the only ORIGINAL running Hetzers.
Scorpio213 I don’t know if I trust that judging that your referring the Jagdpanzer 38T as to the “Hetzer”
@@spencerw9784 well considering my father is the Assistant manager of the museum that owns the said Hetzer in the video i make it a habit of knowing these things, and how is calling the jagdpanzer 38t a hetzer untrustworthy? considering that the name Hetzer was what it was called by German troops during WW2, just because it was an unofficial name according to official records doesn't mean im not going to call it a hetzer.
@@spencerw9784 There only 10 original Jagdpanzer 38(t) left the other onces are all postwar G13 mock ups. From the 10 there, only 4 are in running condition, and the one from Bruce many think was restored with a G13 engine.
@@Scorpio-dd4pt The Jagdpanzer 38t was not called Hetzer by germans during ww2, that name came after the war, probably because of it looking a bit like a E10 "Hetzer" That s also what the "officals" say, e.g. the Panzermuseum Munster in the Hetzer video. The video is in german.
A great video, but the fake pressure to get it done is jarring. There's no need for it.
David Hutchison Owner not allowing more than enough time is his problem. But? You got to keep it tense right?
Neither is the overblown, melodramatic narration by pink-shirt guy.
They follow scripts from the New History Channel shows. All bullocks and less information.
Every reality show has fake deadlines to add "tension" to it, it's supremely annoying to watch.
Yeah, because it's not like the museum in Australia was going to move on and buy another Jagdpanzer if this one wasn't ready in 2 days.
I've seen almost all of Combat dealers episodes, and I adore the twins! They're by far my favourites!
I was impressed at how well that breach block looked and was working.
breach....a break or rupture; the act of breaking....not to be confused with breech. But you did. Grats.
I'm not even German, but how people butcher German tank names in such horrible ways makes me *angery*
Eh , that's mostly the fault of German language being a bit tonal, but hey, at least it's not danish where even learning it for native kids is a hassle.
Don't worry I support fascism
What exactly? The “Hetzer“ naming? Lolz
Don't worry, that guy is butchering the English language as well
David Jarkeld His work is great though. Bringing back the heroes of the old times.
That crane driver shat himself when that gun clunked into place !! His expression was priceless !! Great vid thx !!
Please upload these new episodes to your on demand section. Pretty please from your Australian fans?
6:59 the fake scopes to confuse the enemy are so awsome
This tank looks as if it just came out of the factory. Even better than that, it is amazing-looking. Fabulous job from the mechanics. Really amazing.
The B&W footage is not a Jagdpanzer 38(t) as stated. It's actually a Jagdpanzer IV, a tank destroyer based off the famous Panzer IV chassis.
Wtf ":(
There isn’t much footage broski of the Hetzer and besides The hetzer is the family dollar version of the Japdpanzer IV that’s just my opinion
Ah fuck my chest god its the wehraboo virus SAVE YOURSELF
Yeah but no it is a 38t though, at 1:34 you can clearly see the suspension with the large road wheels of the Czech 38t in contrast to the jagdpanzer 4 which has the small road wheels an return rollers.
@@thedukeofconway4209 I understand that the Stug factory received alot of attention from the RAF / USAAF so the Czech factories were tasked with converting the Panzer 38t design to a self propelled gun
I hate the way Bruce talks to the camera/audience compared in normal situations?!?! Why cant he talk normal all the time??
When you talks to camera he does full Cockey. Never go full cockney :)
Juzzi79 Shanti your first sentence isn’t a question so why does it have a question mark?
Achtung i put it there just to annoy you.
No doubt the producers and director want them all to act out
It's scripted.
Love those guys..."is it in yet?". Great stuff.
I actually have some experience with s hetzer, I got to ride one in 2014 in Holland at the Overloon museum. The hetzer is very loud when inside but other than that it was a smooth ride
A good crane operator has the gifted touch.
I actually live 4 hours away from this museum, definitely need to go and check it out.
I was in Cairns at Christmas and the Hetzer has pride of place out the front of the museum!!
*Warning there is a Tank Expert in the Comment section*
BL4CK KINGZ lord knows whoever made this video sure isnt one, they used footage of the wrong vehicle from ww2
BL4CK KINGZ hmm :/
Yeet
Okay Still Waiting!
Ok, these tanks were Powered by a six cilinder Mitsubishi diesel engine, and fired a 100mm projectile at 500ft per second.
Its not the last jagdpanzer, wtf, there are more and apart from that its called jagdpanzer 38t
Most of the Jagdpanzer 38t we see today are those old Czech G-13 series made for the Swiss army post WW2. Most were made to look like the real German made ones. This one is maybe one of the original ones....maybe. And yes, the Jagdpanzer 38t was never officially named the Hetzer by the Germans.....just Jagdpanzer 38t.
@@franzhairil6438 But the 38T *WAS* a CAPTURED Czech tank! It was only "German" because the Germans STOLE THEM!..... there were no "German made" 38T's..... (OK, picky, picky, the Germans made the so-called "Hetzer" modifications to make the tank killer version of the 38T..... same chassis & running gear..... And did you notice the gun barrel they were working on was NOT the one they installed in the Hetzer!?....wtf?....
Florian Geyer he said one of the last
silentum excubitor yeah and M-10s are stolen tanks from America
Stunning tank, love to see one in person.
I absolutely love the short episode I really want to see more combat dealers on the channel and even though I like the tanks and vehicles, I would like to see Bruce deal more with smaller items like bayonets and rifles and other items that the rest of us can actually afford. LoL
More combat dealers please
I love how how many things they got wrong in this video the first being the panzer 4 70 another being the title it isn’t the last hetzer at all and the third being the Incorrect information about the German camos each tank will have a standard coating from the factory and it was hen up to the commander of the tank to spray paint and apply the camo himself
How do you know about it Stalin? You were suppoused to know just about the KV1's!
They say the last one for click bait purposes
Panzer 4's L70 cannon
@@AA-xk7gy yea, in fact didn't they say he has two of 'em
The paint was sprayed on, not brushed.
So many problems in this clip, 1st you have footage of the wrong vehicle, 2nd there is multiple Jagdpanzer 38t no including the post war G13's backdated to war time configuration and 3rd 'Hetzer' is a bit of a controversial name
Well with the footage, I’m guessing it wasn’t specifically meant to display the hetzer itself but tank destroyers in general
Yes....it was never officially named Hetzer by the Germans....
@@franzhairil6438 If I recall correct, the HETZER name originally was given to E-10 prototype also known as Jagdpanzer 38(D), not 38(t).
All together kids ＨＥＴＺＥＲ
Only i call it Jagdpanzer 38? I think only stupid World of Tanks players call it that way and people who love it so they say its nickname.
Nice to see some lovers of WW2 armour doing such a great job. For many years the Cdn Army paid me to crawl through rubbish piles to recover tanks and parts, I can only imagine where the Hetzer barrel was found.
American "it's Time for a beer" Russian "It's Time for vodka!"...Brits Tea time lads Careful not to spill your tea on the 105mm Shell ...
freakyflow brits can drink better than Americans though
@@skankhunts42 Anyone can out drink Americans ..Have you ever had watered down piss before? lol
@@freakyflow rip
Doc Mitchell I beg to differ
freakyflow that’s a 75
Drop the shitty reality TV bits and you're golden. Seriosly, drop that shtick.
I have a Hetzer sized empty spot in my garage.
@Alex Bruorton Tanks...
Love this stuff!!come on more please!!!!
Been watching Aust. Arms and Armour. Came across this. Not crazy about the created drama on this program. I just like watching the workers fix and repair all this massive WWII machinery. I will watch a few more and see if it gets better.
"we do our best with it" his eyes told me everything about whats ahead.
I love this cute little tank destroyer
It's amazing what is still about out there if you know where to look . I think this is the barrel that Bruce found in an earlier episode propping up the roof of a French farmhouse barn . The Farmer refused to sell , saying his roof would fall down . If it is the same one , they must have come to some sort of an arrangement , i.e. cash .
That Museum is on The Outskirts of Cairns in Far North Queensland. Seen it they all did Great work everyone has done.
Brilliant show
Well done fellas.
Beautiful Hetzer
the tank museum is in Cairns, north Queensland Australia, if your ever in the area i highly recommend visiting it they have all kinds of tanks and armored vehicles from all round the world and eras
specially around early september when for the last few years they have had there Ausarmour fest event. They usually have this hetzer and quite a few of there other vehicles that are in running condition out for people to be able to buy tickets to ride in. The hetzer is kinda expensive tho $90 Aus for a ride but totally worth it for me when i did it
The crane operators face when it dropped 😅
“You don’t go down to the local supermarket and just buy it off the shelf” best words said
If I was these guys I would actually think about working in a museum restoration team like at Bovington Tank Museum. I understand that it's not just military stuff and they would be tied down but their skills are invaluable
Sorry, but anyone who spends enough money to have two full-time mechanics restore a very niche historical German/Czech WW2 armoured vehicle that they already own would know how to pronounce "Jagdpanzer" correctly. Who really owns it?
Sam Prudden ikr lol
This vehicle was owned before Bruce by a German chap for 10 years after it was retired from the Swiss Army in the 70's . It was originally a G 13. It lives in Cairns, North Queensland these days. The AAAM is a World class museum, well worth visiting if you're ever in this part of the World.
i just wanna know why hed spend so much money on it then send it to someone instead of keeeping it
Abby Weng yea like german can pronounce every english word perfectly.
@@obarbadoso9336 because this is his business doing up military vehicles and armourments and selling them on
i saw a hetzer at an airshow in Michigan a year or 2 ago, really cool vehicles
More combat dealers please and full episodes
Hetzer is one of my favorite German armored vehicle
Those boys are the Ed China’s for tank refurbishment ..good job
One of my fav tanks!
The oh shit look on the lift operators face when it slid in 😅🤣
This actually is not the last working Jagdpanzer, there is another working jagdpanzer that drives and shoots perfectly in Everett Washington
i think he said "one of the only working jagdpanzer" not the only one
Doing the lords work right here
beauty in itself
Better than new. Nice!
Love the wrench, what Harley-Davison did you get that off of?
I LOVE U THE TWINS brother ...the best
Restoring Teutonic armor. What a killer job.
I’ve almost watched every episode
So did they clean the inside of the barrel too?
Wish they would make more of these vids.
the hetzer is a name from the allies. krauts called it the jagdpanzer 38t made with the panzer 38t hull and transmission. it was made for the eastern front and was used in the western front
No wonder this tank looked so damn familiar, I live down the road from it
Now you've reinvented the wheel again.....!!! 🙃
"Is this what happens, when you are made to believe, that your enemy is a person?"
Surely it's the 75mm PAK 39 L/48 not an L39 as stated, I know he says PAK 39 later....still I stand by my 1st statement
Lemmy Kilmister used to own one as well. I am sure that there are at least several dozen of such machines around the world.
Tank done, tea time chaps
So at 47sec they show a Jagdpanzer IV ,not a Hetzer.
Love it!
All that old grease made the first part easy
I love how the clip at 0:43 isn't even a hetzer lol
Please Quest TV put episodes on your website!
Lol, the "historic background video" starts with saying Hetzer and then shows a JgdPzIV :D
Weren’t these one of the most abundant German tanks that survived the war?
yes and many are still being used and driving around in the middle east, this is far from the only one, its a bunch fo hyped up bullshit!
@@SDeww Wasn't it that only 4 are original as the rest have a different engine addes post-war?
Most are not true jgpz 38ts, they are g13s. A post war version of the tank
@@SDeww - where in Middle East specifically???
Wish i had a job like this
When your mom doesnt buy you v bucks so you build a jagdpanzer for personal reasons
*wiggle wiggle* _KLANK!_ "She's in!"
I could do without hearing about "Bruce's shipping deadlines"...
I wanna work with these guys!
Stugg and Hetzer.. The troops loved them.. Very reliable....
The troops do not love the Hetzer.
@@maniacpanic666 Like hell they didn't.. Go read the Germany infantry reports. The Hetzer and Stugg gave them comfort. As they were right along side them. Both highly reliable and deadly. As some Hetzer reports give enemy tank loses at 20-30 where not one Hetzer was destroyed.. Some of the best tank commanders\crews started out in them. You should read more..
@@MasterChief-sl9ro he infantry loved them for sure. some reports say that the crews didnt like the Hetzer because it was very crowded inside
Not the only working, museum by my place converted a Swedish hetzer back to a hetzer
Nicholas Moran AKA The Chieftains favorite tank
Last working my backside. We have these confirmed 38ts still in running condition Fahrgestell number 32136 @ Arsenalen Tank Museum, Fahrgestell number 323910 or 323010 (to be confirmed) @ Bruce Compton Collection, Fahrgestell number 322973 @ Kubinka Tank Museum, Fahrgestell Number 323437 @ Australian Armour and Artillery Museum, there were a couple more but those have now been confirmed to be G-13s.
0:43 that's no Hetzer that's a usual Jagdpanzer
You are NOT There's a Polish Tank Hunter now!!!
I remember seeing a Jagdpanzer 38 in Austria not long ago, so I highly doubt that those are the last ones.
@EF2000Typhoon7LWA I don't mind finding a old German WWII tank. I'd put it in Assyrian museum to show that's out true history of German tanks
The crane guy had to look back at the twin to make sure he didn’t fuck it all
Even I jumped when they seated the gun.
How we could see full episode?
This is the bees knees to watch baked
good vidéo
Not the last working jagdpanzer 38t (Hetzer) , as the title states.
I am pretty sure that we have one hetzer in Poland that was salvaged from the Baltic sea. Dunno if it's working but I am pretty sure it was undergoing restoration process.
Mentioning it now, you will have to find out....? 🙃
He looks like a Bond villain, making two twins build him a giant weapon. Has a little dog a big over coat. Maybe he is one.
...How can I stream this in the US?
Quest whens the new series coming?
Twins deserve more than a Cuppa ;)
Fun fact: In the US, there’s really no limits on the size of a cannon a civilian can own with a Title 3 classification. 16’in battleship gun please Santa
I would love to go out and dig up some ww2 history BTW this should be like a Netflix series
It's not the last working Hetzer, I just saw a working one last week in the next GAF Base...dunno why they have it, but it's fancy.
lol this vid went up on my b-day also this is my faverate tank in the world so win win
0:38 Hetzer: am i a joke to you?
