LEGO Stop Motion KV-6 vs KARL-GERÄT

Показать описание

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 5000 SUBSCRIBERS!!! I'M SO HAPPY TO ACHIEVE SUCH MILESTONE this is just the beningging...
BTW it's kinda painful to film this video. The higher frame rate of the stop motion kills my fingers, sorry for the long wait I have to do the final exams, but good news! I still have a lot of projects coming out since it's summer vacation...

here are the main tanks in the video:

KV-6
The KV-6 is not a real historical tank but rather a fictional or hypothetical design that has gained attention in certain circles, especially among military history enthusiasts and in the context of alternate history or speculative designs.

The KV-6 "Behemoth" is often depicted as a massive, multi-turreted Soviet tank from World War II, combining elements of the KV-1 and KV-2 tanks. It's generally shown with several turrets and a heavy artillery piece, making it appear like an extreme example of heavy tank design. This tank is an imaginative creation, often found in discussions and artwork rather than actual historical records or blueprints.

Key Features (As Imagined):
Multiple Turrets: Typically depicted with several turrets, each mounting various weapons, including machine guns and cannons.
Heavy Armor: Imagined to have extremely thick armor, making it nearly impervious to contemporary anti-tank weapons.
Size and Weight: Described as extremely large and heavy, significantly more so than any real tank produced during the war.
Armament: Often shown with a mix of high-caliber cannons and smaller secondary weapons to deal with different types of targets.
Context:
The idea of the KV-6 likely stems from the real Soviet practice of developing heavy and multi-turreted tanks, such as the T-35, combined with the experimental nature of the KV series. The KV (Kliment Voroshilov) series included several real designs like the KV-1, a heavily armored tank, and the KV-2, which had a large turret housing a 152mm howitzer.

Conclusion:
The KV-6 "Behemoth" serves as a creative exploration of what might have been possible if certain design philosophies were taken to their extremes. It is a testament to the imaginative nature of alternate history and speculative military design but does not have a basis in actual wartime production or deployment.

For more detailed discussions and artistic depictions, you might find forums and communities dedicated to alternate history and speculative military technology particularly interesting.

The Karl-Gerät, also known as the Mörser Karl, was a series of self-propelled siege mortars developed and used by Nazi Germany during World War II. Here are some key points about this massive artillery piece:

Overview
Design and Purpose:

KARL-GERÄT:
The Karl-Gerät was designed by Rheinmetall and developed in the late 1930s.
Its primary purpose was to destroy heavily fortified positions and structures, such as bunkers and fortifications.
Specifications:

Caliber: The mortar had a caliber of 600 mm (24 inches), making it one of the largest artillery pieces ever used.
Weight: The Karl-Gerät weighed about 124 tons when fully loaded.
Length: The overall length was about 11 meters (36 feet).
Models:

There were seven Karl-Geräte built, each named after a Norse god or mythological figure (e.g., Adam, Eve, Odin).
An upgraded model, known as the 040/041, featured a longer barrel and increased range.
Operational History
Deployment:

The Karl-Gerät saw action on various fronts, including the Eastern Front and during the siege of Sevastopol.
It was transported by rail and assembled on-site due to its enormous size.
Ammunition:

The mortar fired two types of shells: high-explosive (HE) and concrete-piercing.
The shells weighed between 1.25 and 2.2 tons, with a maximum range of up to 10 km (6 miles) for the lighter shell.
Effectiveness:

The Karl-Gerät was effective in its intended role, capable of causing massive destruction.
However, its slow rate of fire, logistical challenges, and vulnerability limited its operational impact.
Legacy
The Karl-Gerät remains one of the most iconic examples of World War II super-heavy artillery.
One of the original Karl-Geräte, "Adam," is preserved at the Kubinka Tank Museum in Russia.
