Armchair documentaries, almost weekly

[realBessong]

Listening to this narration from a narrator with a German accent is an immersive experience

[mrcraftiest]

10 minutes of 'fern' is not sufficient for an addict

[excsoftaim]

0:09 THAT TANK IS MASSIVE. Well, you know what else is massive? Fern's production team producing these MASTERPIECES

For anyone curious this cannon has an amazing map in Call of Duty World War II. Not sure exactly how accurate the in game model is but this thing is HUGE. I remember being a kid and looking up Gustav cannon because I like the call of duty map, I was speechless when I realized they actually built one.

9:42 never expected that ending but ok

Hitler had all the money and amphetamines in the world, and he came up with the kind of idea that someone with all the money and amphetamines in the world would.

This gun really puts into perspective the insanity of WWII battleships. Because Battleships where lugging around anywhere between 6-12 guns half the size of this behemoth. It also explains why no one wanted to be on the recieving end of a battleship broadside. The gustav is a terrifying and amazing display of engineering. But it is an increibly imobile, slow to fire, slow to reload cannon. Battleships by contrast could go anywhere, sometimes even at highway speeds, and drop 9 shells a second every 30 seconds.

Imagine spending Hundreds of Millions on a „Monster Machine“ Only for it to not even hit the Target one single Time Lmao

[ethan-ky]

2:02 as repetitive as the joke is, it'll never cease to make me chuckle. Great work by the way, team! keep it up!!

[ntdscherer]

6:44 Those shells were going something like Mach 2. By the time someone heard the cannon going off, the shell would have already hit.

[juulian]

I appreciate a lot that you link to your sources in the video description. You're a rare kind. Keep it up!
(You also got me good with the joke at 1:58 but so many others mentioned that already. xD)

Bro always makes 10 minutes documentary which feels like a 30 min movie

[alexandernorton]

Honestly in my eyes the German Paris gun from WW1 was a more technological achievement for the time. Sure, it's caliber is just 8.26 inches compared to this gun's 31.5, but this gun also couldn't fire a shell through the stratosphere to a distance of 76 miles. Also, it killed a total of 256 French civilians. It was also mounted on a railway carriage.

I am from and now in Sevastopol, my grandgrandma told me when i was 11 that shells was so freacking massive that they just didnt detonate, they just busted trough buildings and sitting there, causing a lot of fear that it can detonate any particular moment
Main damage to the port was dealed by planes

Image if Hitler had access to Atomic bomb

[Keyz]

Still one of the most high quality and consistent channels on YouTube

[DoFliesCallUsWalks]

2:41 that is so clunky but so smooth at the same time

[TheRogueAdventurers]

The cg is very good in these videos, but a missed detail was that when shot, not only did the barrel recoil but the whole thing would roll back on the rails

[LolAmith]

0:08 giving kuvira’s giant weapon the the legend of korra lol

[Germanstuffon]

I LOVE when Jonas voices these videos! I like the other guy too but this guy's voice is so relaxing
