From the recollections of the Soviet tanker who fought on the German Tiger

90

During the Great Patriotic War, the German military used Soviet captured equipment, Soviet soldiers and officers used German captured equipment. Nothing unusual - everyday life of war. In this regard, it is interesting how the soldiers fighting against each other spoke out about weapons and enemy military equipment.


The material on the Alexnott YouTube channel presents evidence of a Soviet tanker who was given the opportunity to control the German Tiger. This armored vehicle was produced for the Wehrmacht tank troops from 1942 to 1944. In total, German industry released 1355 tanks "Tiger", which were actively used including on the Eastern Front.

By the time it became possible to control the Tiger tank, the Soviet tanker was a T-34 driver and fought for about 2 years.

During this time he changed three tanks, burned more than once. Received during this time the Order of the Patriotic War of the 1st degree and the Order of the Red Star. It was considered an experienced mechanical driver.

The tankman talks about how he was called to the battalion commander, who reported on the formation of the crew for the German trophy "Tiger". It turned out that German tankers “planted” the tank in a deep funnel.

    Curious. It is interesting that the Tiger turned out to be more harmful to the economy of the Reich, because the car is incredibly complex and expensive, while it is not very reliable and difficult to maintain. It had a huge percentage of non-combat losses (about 50%).

        In general, military equipment and the army, not to mention the conduct of hostilities, are generally a very expensive “part of the budget”. And therefore it is necessary to compare not just cash costs, but also their effectiveness. How effective was the Tiger or Panther tank. And I will tell you that these were very effective fighting vehicles. And if you already understand, then in the price-effectiveness ratio they significantly exceeded the FAU-1 or FAU-2. Another question is that the Germans threw them into battle unclaimed, but this is their grief ...
        And yet, an interesting photo of the captured Panzer 4 with our fighters, at first it was this modification of the Quartet that was confused with the Tiger, and then, in order not to rewrite the reports, they even called it the Tiger Type 4 tank

    Someone from the carious. Nazi tanker, in the book "Tigers in the mud" noted the high reliability, ease of maintenance and repair of the Tiger. The book is not anti-Soviet, not propaganda. unlike the ardent anti-adviser of the rudel, it was written without insults and with respect to Soviet tankers.

        Any normal water fur won't throw a car in the mud. He will try to clean the hodovka from dirt, and the commander and crew will help in this. This applies to ours, it is now so, on tractors, and on cars the same. . You can’t clean it, the rollers freeze tightly, when you move the rollers they cannot scroll, the bandages grind like emery, 50-100 meters and the tank without bandages.

          It was strictly observed until the end of the war. Even in the Halb pot.

          The same Carius writes, as in 44g. with several tigers he destroyed a convoy of thirty Soviet T-34 tanks and several IS-2s. At the same time, one IS-2 was thrown by the Soviet crew in perfect working order and with full ammunition ... Carius first saw this tank. He was very impressed with the caliber of the gun ...

              Volodya, the truth of the war is bloody, cruel and clumsy ... My grandfather, Ovsyannikov Demyan Mikhailovich, was in the 2nd Guards Assault Army as part of a tank landing. They jumped directly from the armor into the trenches of the 1st line and led melee to capture them.
              But what tankers recall about the Tigers ...
              From the memoirs of a veteran of the 63rd Guards. Tank Brigade of the Ural Volunteer Tank Corps
              N.Ya. Zheleznova:
              "... taking advantage of the fact that we have 76-mm guns that can take their armor from only 500 meters on the forehead, they stood in the open. But try to come in. He will burn you for 1200-1500 meters! They were arrogant! essentially, while the 85-mm gun was gone, we, like hares, ran from the “tigers” and looked for an opportunity to turn out and slap him on board. It was hard. If you see that a tiger is standing at a distance of 800-1000 meters and begins to "baptize" you, while you are driving horizontally, you can still sit in the tank, as soon as you begin to drive vertically - you better jump out! Burn out! This was not with me, but the guys jumped out.
              Well, when the T-34-85 appeared, it was already possible to go one on one ... "
              (M. Baryatinsky “Tigers in battle”. Moscow, Yauza Eksmo, 2012, p. 19)
              And yet, our grandfathers broke the ridge of the fascist reptile! And to all of Europe, who dutifully labored as a goalkeeper! Tolerasts, filthy collaborators who now demolish monuments to soldiers of the liberators ...

                I do not argue. But because of this, the T 34-85 was thrown into the heat. Despite the fact that other tanks tried to save a little. All the same, German aht-aht was better than our 85th. It's a shame, but a fact.

                  Yes, it’s no better, it’s just, unlike 85 mm, it’s lucky to be a “miracle weapon of last hope”. And when the Germans appeared heavy tanks, the Red Army could cope with them simply due to mass. In particular, a real random penetration, which is much more fun than VBR, and the first loss of a “tiger” from the fire of a 76 mm T-34 gun occurred in 1942, although it is believed that the Soviet 76 mm BBhs did not penetrate 80 mm sides.

      The Soviet anti-aircraft gun of 85 mm caliber has a common German ancestor with their guns .. It can be said a cousin of the German anti-aircraft gun, well, and the granddaughter of the Tiger Cannon. The Soviet, captured anti-aircraft guns, the Germans drilled barrels under 88 mm, and used on their anti-aircraft guns, maybe tanks.

      Even in WoT you can meet the so-called. D-5T-85BM, as a top gun on the T-34-85 with a game penetration of 144 mm. In reality, this contraption would hardly have stood on the T-34-85, since it was an analogue of 88/71. The gun was tested on HF, but did not go into the series for some reason. At the same time, the D-25T not only surpasses 88/71 times one and a half times in muzzle energy, but also contrary to a widespread misconception caused, among other things, by the need to somehow balance this monster in a computer. games, had similar accuracy to it. So the “gloomy Teutonic genius” against the background of simple Russian clubs causes only laughter.

    Yesterday there was a publication about the engine repair of the Panther, Tiger. Judging by the photos, I would not say that this is some kind of tricked-out unit. Here are four carburetors, it is probably difficult to adjust and synchronize, and there is nothing particularly terrible, although it is not visible how the intake manifolds are arranged, if they are all connected to each other, then this is not a problem. With many malfunctions, the car remained mobile, and the ability to fight, repair will wait. This also applies to our tanks. I recall one story. Tankers have their last classes before graduation. Teacher, so you got acquainted with the device of the tank, are there any questions? Do you have any questions, cadet? Cadet, everything is clear, only it is not clear, but where is the horse? The neighbor from the back is pushing, and whispers, ask why the hat is talking. smile

    Personally, I feel from the video as from most pseudo-war smart articles on military topics on Yandex Zen. The author never named whose memories they were and where he found this information from. In addition, the text was generally composed correctly, but somehow misleading, in fact, listing the main shortcomings of the Tiger (some are very, very controversial in reality, for example, the time the tower was completely rotated) and its advantages with pulling up the “story” line under it.

      Indeed, some words raise questions, the radio operator prompts the way, leaning out of the driver’s hatch. So the tank commander should direct the actions of the driver, not the radio operator .. The slow rotation of the tower is compensated by the actions of the driver, but this requires coherence of the crew and a competent commander. And here is the crew: mechanic, radio operator, gunner. And where are the rest, at least where is the commander.

        in a real episode, which the author took for his composition, the crew consisted of six people.
        Mekhvod foreman Vasily Kilevnik by that time had been at war for three years and had two Red Stars.
        Of course, 28 GTB did not lead a tiger from a good life - by that time, 7 T-34s and 5 T-70s remained on the brigade.

      I agree. I never understood why a slow turn is bad. The self-propelled guns did not have a turn at all. In addition, the tiger could quickly tighten the hull. Rather fictional memory.

        Self-propelled guns go in the second echelon, while changing the direction of attack of a self-propelled battery of WWII times is impossible. About the do-it-yourself hull is not even funny. Less in comp. play games.

    Grandfather said that somehow they captured the German Rimbat. (Or how they have it there!) It is on the repair of armored vehicles. Amazed by the huge number of special tools and even a mobile film studio, there is a movie camera, and a developing and a movie camera! The Germans filmed all the rational suggestions of their techies and, again, showed staff training films on car repairs, shared their experience! A few kungs with trailers are just different ways and pullers, each under its own number, clean and tidy. The find was reported UP, but by the time the commission arrived, some of the goodness had been stolen by our kulibins. By the way, in the case of damage, the same Fritz’s inner rollers were changed within 15 minutes using the same special tool. That is, the repair process was thought out even at the design stage of the nodes.

      ... "
      - That tank stood in the FIELD (mine, grenade, PTR)
      The crew got out "on the armor" - and AUUUUuuuuu, Remba-aat !!!!

      - smiled.

      "... A few kungs with trailers are just different ways and pullers, each with its own number, clean and tidy.
      ... "
      - Nuuu - this is one of the "kungs"
      - aviation chopped off, stuck in a ditch, drowned at the crossing, was blown up by a mine, lagged behind due to a malfunction
      and where are those "puller numbers" and "special tools" to look for
      .....
      - How many Germans do not fight - but nothing changes in the govov of staff theoreticians.
      as Leo Tolstoy wrote there:
      Die erste Kolonne marschiert, die zweite Kolonne marschiert ... (di erste coponne marshiert, di zweite coponne marshiert)
      The first column is marching, the second column is marching ... From the novel "War and Peace" (1868) by L. I. Tolstoy (1828-1910). The words of the German general in the Russian service of Pful, who in the novel draws up the plan of the campaign of 1812 against Napoleon and read out his separate provisions to the Russian military leaders
      Tolstoy made his hero and his reasoning a symbol of the template Prussian military tactics, which are mostly “paper” in nature and completely ignore the creative nature of warfare. This phrase, in which the columns march in the “prescribed order”, is usually quoted in German (so as General Pful expressed in L.N. Tolstoy) as an ironic commentary on someone’s purely abstract, speculative plan that does not take into account reality and looks more like a list of good wishes than a serious program of action.

      - It’s purely written in paper, but they forgot about GVAS - how to walk on them.

        Duc, after undermining a mine, even if the crew is alive, the lever of the rollers is bending, and again, REMBAAAAT! Because without autogen, to remove it in a clean field even on the same T-80 and 72 is IMPOSSIBLE! And the Germans simply dragged the wrecked cars to the rear and repaired CORRECTLY!

    The case of the capture of a working tiger of the 507th Schw.Abt, which was stuck in a funnel, took place on 27.12.1943/28/39, the Belorussian Front, XNUMX GTB of the XNUMXth Army, near the village of Sinyavki. Obviously, based on this story, the comrade blinded his "memories." So to speak, "based on real events"
    But not just “four more,” but five more, except for him - the trophy crew consisted of six people.
    The name of the driver is well known - Guard foreman Kylevnik.
    The crew “mastered” the car in two days, painted over the crosses and wrote “tiger”.
    The first battle was on 06.01.1944/34/70, together with one T and one T, entered the village of Sinyavki, where they dug in cars and held the village for two days.

    I'm talking about equipment .. And weapons .. So it was necessary to fight something .. And many had to get it in battle ..
    It was .. Everything was .. And everything happened .. And seven with one screw with three rounds went on the attack .. Everything was ..

      Do not carry nonsense about seven with one rifle, seen Mikhalkov apparently with his weary sun. In the USSR there was an abundance of means of warfare, industry ensured the continuous supply of weapons and ammunition to the front, and it was the superiority of Soviet industry over German that made the main contribution to the Victory! All these stories about one rifle for three works in the period of the 90s.

          And this is when Zhukov’s troops came into contact with American troops
          (Montgomery, if not mistaken).
          - They drive the fascists - on the one hand, ours, and on the other hand, Americans.
          Everyone feels: they will meet soon. Possible misunderstandings must be prevented.
          - Representatives of the allied command gathered, identified signs for the designation of troops
          (this, by the way, then red flags tied to the towers of tanks
          - as an identification mark for the allies - well, like, not fascists ...)
          And our people began to notice that, sort of like the Nazis were no longer in front of us,
          The sounds of the shots are not quite the same, the shape is not the same color - but they shoot no worse than the Nazis.
          - Report to Zhukov - that, like, sort of - as if we were no longer fighting the Germans.
          - He asks: Negotiated identification signals are given? - Served!
          Are red flags above the tanks? - Exhibited!
          The trouble is that - on the other side - they DO NOT notice.
          .
          So, they don’t notice ?!
          - Well, WE WILL NOT ALSO BE MISSED.
          ORDER:
          - To fight as if it were fascists in front of you !.
          .
          - And in one day - the front went 20 kilometers to the west.
          .
          - And OH MIRACLE!
          The next day - "from the other side" and the flags above the tanks, and that's it
          identification signals - all-all Saw - well, like "suddenly seen" ...
          - ABOUT! Rus, Rus, comrade! Friendship chewing gum!

          As they say - nothing personal - just operational comparisons of the fighting efficiency of the troops
          - as part of an assessment of the feasibility of Churchill’s proposed operation: “The Unthinkable”

          Py Sy.
          I think I heard this story on the radio
          in the memoirs of some veteran - even before the start of perestroika.
          - But then the “patriots” cleaned everything well.
          - In any case, in modern "networks" SUCH memoirs

        For the sake of one tank, which may also become the cause of friendly fire, not everyone will bother. Again, sensible people need to be allocated, where to get them. Although such an interesting case is known when the brigade on the T-70 intercepted the T-34-85 from the Germans. And willingly took it to herself. Not to search now on the whole front for those mongrels that the Germans had fallen in love with.

      For example, the “panthers” were equipped with the best tankers and were used as anti-tank weapons, since they have even better breakdowns than the DOTboy 88/56.

      And already Pz-III and its derivatives which compiled the operating instructions and were printed at printing houses.

      And seven with one screw with three rounds went on the attack .. Everything was ..

    Obviously, there are different tanks in the photo and in the story. In the photo, the Red Army on the "four" (PzKpfw IV), this can be determined by the type of road wheels. And the video tells about the tank “with a checkerboard arrangement of rinks”, which, exactly, were the “Tiger” PzKpfw VI.

    Yurij Alekseev (Yurij Alekseev), dear, actually the Germans fought much better than the Russians, their generals and officers - all with education and combat experience, soldiers - pros with combat experience, equipment never left on the battlefield, never surrendered , So?
    How did it happen that yesterday the collective farmer, my beloved grandmother, one of the younger brothers - Testov Ivan Georgievich received the medal "For Courage" during the assault on the "impregnable fortress" Koenigsberg as part of the 75th separate artillery battalion of special power, which was armed with 4 trophy guns 211- mm K-38? And there were four such divisions in the Red Army: 7; sixteen; 16; 75, total 105 trophy guns. In addition to the 16th, another 75 hit Nazis at the front, which means there were shells (105kg each). The cannons of 120 tons were transported into 25,3 carts, there were no wheels, towing is not very convenient, but ... Representatives of the Nordic race surrendered not only in Stalingrad and Belarus, but also defending their "impregnable fortresses".
