German Surface to Air Missile Anti-Air in WW2? | Fake Tank Friday

Today we look at a fairly absurd topic, German Surface to Air Anti-Aircraft vehicles from the second world war. You may be saying to yourself "there is no way that is real" and you would be correct. Still, there are some bits of history sprinkled among the complete fantasy.

Even with the ones I added in while writing I still technically missed a couple since there are some of the absolutely crack-pipe walker tanks with launchers for them. Might have to do a top 10 craziest napkinwaffe model kits someday.

[kanrakucheese]

This was a real proposal... by model companies. Even cheap models go through a design and approval stage.

[pauld]

Nice video.

Tell us more about the experimental "assault drones" the U.S. used in the Pacific Theater. The picture you had onscreen was a first-time-seeing moment for me.

[glassfullofmilk]

Wow didn't realise that there were "working" SAM systems being developed during ww2, I knew that the technology was possible at the time but in Germany it certainly is improbable.

[Vespuchian]

Thanks for pointing out how Germany wasn't the only nation testing guided missiles during the 40s, I was particularly impressed with American proto-cruise missiles when I stumbled across them.

[adanenedary]

E-100 "only hull was finished"
Model kit company: "pimp my ride"

[TheSuperZOS]

I know there's a model kit for that thing and I am *VERY* tempted to buy it.

[Mati_Panzer]

while the tank mounted versions are totally fake, this was the perfect excuse to learn about those german missiles which I actually had no idea existed, good video as always

[notlistening]

"Napkin Waffe" was unexpected and hilarious

[brettimkopp]

Crazy piece. I love it. I knew of the rocket program but mounting it on a Panzer Hull?
If someone is making an Iron sky themed RTS Game, please take inspiration from this.

[ThePorumbelul]

It's so weird that we can find scale models of totally weird tanks such as the Panther SAM or the E-100 SAM launchers, but there are no Centurion Action X or the FV4202 models...

[TheArklyte]

That's something straight up from Road to 56 mod for Hoi4. Except in that case it's Ajax SAM and "superheavy" in the eyes of Rt56 is something like late heavy tanks ie IS-7, M103, Conqueror, Object 279, T-10M, AMX-50. So it's not hard to imagine such chassis being used to carry the launcher for the battery. But that's specifically late 50's tech, not early 40's:D How do people come up with such things and more importantly how do they sell other people on such ideas?0_o

[masshysteria]

Would love a WW2 RTS Game to have customizable units so I can mobilize horrid creations like this

[peciesunknwn]

The only reason people claim the Nazi wonder weapons were lightyears ahead is because they wound up being desperate enough to use them in combat despite serious flaws.

[CharcharoExplorer]

I am really happy you saw the weapon in War Front Turning Point. I am one of its wiki editors so seeing my 4K snip of the vehicle on YouTube was nice

[teatanks]

Surprised to see Warfront turn up here, I remember it from way back; old ass Eurojank RTS about an alternate WW2, it's a game where the Tiger is Germany's medium line tank and the Soviets have liquid nitrogen troopers. And on top of that it's still a surprisingly fun game, sadly it's practically abandonware with no (legal) digital distributors and some hard copies floating around Amazon and Ebay. I've got a physical copy gathering dust since my disc drive broke so can't use that, however like most old games it will struggle to run properly on Windows 10 right out the box.

[flyingscotsman]

I've got to be honest, I do have a good number of the model kits you showed. I know they're not real, but I just think they look cool.

[chrisb]

I do think that someone looked at Cuban S-75 and S-125 TELs based off the T-55 tank and went 'Wow these look interesting, now if only the Wehrmacht had its own version. 🤔'

[GundamMate]

1:40 - 2:30 Was listening to this while playing another game and I had to double check I wasn't watching a hoi4 video with that iconic BGM (Specifically Bring Forth the Tanks).
Great video as always man!

[certifiedidiot]

It’s a shame that Modelcollect discontinued many of their historical models in 1/72 *cough T-65BM cough* in favor of their wacky “Fist of War” range. Maybe you could take a look at their “walking tanks” next!
