Damn near caused me to spit out my drink from laughter when you mentioned the possibility of a local tyre shop having those wheels.

Great vid as always Chief.

Wow! An really interesting vehicle and the only remaining as well! It unfortunate that the interior has been completely stripped off but I saw at last how the Germans solved the nodding problem by reinforcing the last rear torsion bars by a mechanical device for each side! Despite having an excellent gun albeit by having a 2 piece charging, my opinion is that it never went in production because of its too thin armour and by being too underpowered and having a too long chassis therfore stressing the steering differentials every time it had to slew in order to aim its cannon because of its limited training range! It is true that it was only utilized on long distance targets but once it starts shooting it almost automatically becomes a target! Keep going!

Great video of a VERY RARE WWII German vehicle!!! Surprised that the Soviets even kept the one they captured. Think 2 were produced and saw combat at Stalingrad, according to sources that I have read. I have built a 1:35 scale model of this vehicle and looks just awesome - just like the actual vehicle.

"Now, unfortunately, time hasn't been kind to the old girl." And neither have the Russians, presumably. Didn't I read somewhere that Kubinka has a standing policy of not expending much time or effort on The Enemy's Toys, even after all this time?

In the last few week i encounter an unusually large number of Sturer Emil while playing on NA east server, some time i see 2 or 3 of the Sturer Emil in a match.

Panzer Selbstfahrlafette

Or in English the "Armoured Self-driving gun-mount.

Great post and thanks for it!

As for Emil's extra long name . . .

I read a lot of WW2 data in hopes of gradually, grudgingly, getting some of it right.

It's Selbstfahrlafette (Self-Propelled Mount).  Selbst (self) Fahr (vehicle) Lafette (mounting) or "SF" as in "PzSf VI fur 12.8cmPaK" (or, alternately, PjK).  Being able to read them is a minor victory.  Spelling them (for the non German speaker) is simple drudgery and pronunciation, for me, at least, is a work of Guess and Gimmee.  Gotta love those compound words.

Panzerselbstfahrlafette VI fur 12.8cm PanzerJager Kanone 40/L56 . . . small wonder we US folks called our tanks by patronymics.

 Only problem with this TD is :

If u already have the Dicker Max, it's the same TD with just a smaller gun.

ive always been curious as to what the decision making process is on choosing the next chieftain's hatch video. Why did you guys choose to do this tank next? Also did you make a series of videos while in the museum?(like shoot a video for all the tanks in the museum, and slowly release them over time?)

I would love a look at that Pz IV on the other side of the hall.

Any chance we'll see an episode about that Elephant next to the Emil next?

So, why did the Soviet museums gut the interiors of their priceless one of a kind military history artifacts

At least they DID preserve it....after a

For a 1942 afv, 50mm of armor wasn't bad.
The Sturer Emil did apparently rack up kills proportionate to it's numbers that were quite impressive.
The firepower in conjunction with a weight roughly equivalent to a late war Sherman made this vehicle seem more sensible than some of the monsters the German military did field in larger numbers.
If Sturer Emil had been fitted with the engine ultimately used in the Tiger I, it would have been quite mobile.

Another great vid from the Chieftain!

I always thought St Emil stood for Saint Emil.
