It’s September 18th, 1939, in the Polish countryside near the village of Pociecha. Section Commander Edmund Roman Orlik leads three TKS tankettes as they scour the land for the enemy. Then, before his eyes a beast rolls into view. The biggest tank in the Polish battlefield, the Panzer 4 B. The tankettes are tiny 2-man vehicles, built in the interwar period around the idea of a mobile machinegun. Orlik’s model isn’t like most. His TKS has replaced the 7.92mm machine gun with a 20mm autocannon capable of firing 5 round clips in less than a second, creating a small and sneaky, albeit fragile, tank hunter. Who would win in this David and Goliath scenario?

200 mm autocannon firing 5 rounds in under a second?
SUPERIOR POLISH ENGINEERING!

[unitedfront]

200 mm auto cannon ??? Thats some polinium engineering right there

[nicomeier]

2:24 Replaced his machinegun with a 200mm auto canon". That'll teach the Jerry's a lesson.

[jujuu]

amazing that they could fit a 200mm autocannon

[krnsthetitan]

2:24 tiny mistake here, it was meant to be 20 mm autocannon, not 200 mm

[Melanesian-dude]

He said "we tried to recreate it as best we could". Proceeds to show a animation that is worthy of cinema

Tiger tank: “I have a 88mm gun.”
Polish TKS: “Hold my beer. “

[_synix_]

“200mm auto cannon”
Holy crap that would be OP in WWII

"We would've beat you if you weren't in those damn cockroaches"
That's basically the equivalent of saying "I only lost because you had a better gaming chair" 😂

[Reg_The_Galah]

I was relieved that Orlik survived and live a good life after the war. A national hero truly

This channel needs more love. Every time there's a video there is a 90% chance it's about a battle I never knew existed and sometimes with equipment I never knew existed.

[jacobzehner]

I’m gonna respect history here
The actual gun on the TKS was a 7.92MM machine gun and the one that Edmund Roman orlik had was a 20MM Nkm wz.38 FK Anti tank heavy machine gun/Autocannon.

Video idea: The Finnish flying ace Eino Ilmari Juutilainen. Mostly known for being possibly the highest scoring non-German flying ace of ww2. As we all know the list of greatest flying aces is mostly dominated by Germans but he is one of the few exceptions.

Imagine being in a tiger and seeing a 100 cockroaches riding towards you

[Legoplanelover]

im so dumb i thought you meant actual Cockroaches💀💀

[chrischu]

200mm machine gun…I’m pretty sure even a Leopard2A7 can’t withstand this kind of firepower, Poland Stonk!

[somenorwegiankid]

Damn, that final battle was animated beautifully and changing the perspective every time they shot was really cool.

[SodiumSyndicate]

For some reason, I love tankettes. They could be the perfect urban warfare tanks, as long as the armor is good enough against AK-47 & 9mm pistol rounds as well as molotov cocktails - they'd clear up cities & buildings & narrow passage ways in no time.

As Pole I just love hearing you (or other non-polish people) breaking your tongue with our surnames or city/country names :D
