Germany drove tanks in World War II, and the planes were very strong, and the names of the tank memb

Hans Rudel.

He was not an "armored ace" like Michelle Whitman and Öster Backman. But he destroyed more Soviet tanks than the two combined. He was the greatest JU87 Stuka pilot of all time, and his specialty was to destroy enemy armored vehicles from the air.

He destroyed an unimaginable amount of enemy equipment, including 519 (some say 530) Soviet tanks (enough to form 5 full-fledged Soviet Panered Corps!). And countless other targets (including the battleship "Marat"!) He also damaged the battleship "Red October". And that's just his record! (See below for details).

Hans Ulrich Rudel was born in Silesia in 1916. He was the son of a pastor. At school he had terrible grades and had only a limited education.

He was a kid when the Nazis came to power, so he was indoctrinated with a lot of Nazi theories. At his age, he showed an interest in sports, but at the same time did not do well in school. In 1936 he enlisted in the Luftwaffe while continuing to develop his athletic talents as a cadet.

After passing a flight training course and becoming a pilot, he submitted an application to learn dive bombing techniques, but it was returned. Instead, he was trained to fly as a reconnaissance aircraft and flew long-range reconnaissance missions during the Polish campaign in September 1939. On 11 October 1939, he was awarded the Iron Cross of the Second Degree.

At the same time, he continued to apply for flight lessons on the JU87 "Stuka" dive bomber, which was approved in May 1940. After the training, Lieutenant Rudel was sent to the "Stukka" training school in Stuttgart, so he did not carry out combat missions during the French campaign. He was then transferred to the 1st Squadron of the 2nd Dive Bombing Wing and participated in the airborne invasion of Crete in May 1941, but remained on combat duty.

In preparation for the "Barbarossa" operation, Rudel's wing was then transferred to the Eastern Front. At 3 a.m. on June 23, 1941, he carried out his first dive bombing mission. Over the next 18 hours, he flew a total of four combat missions.

On July 18, 1941, Rudel was awarded the Iron Cross of the 1st class.

From the top to the bottom, perhaps only one war is needed. It can be said that the outbreak of World War II was caused by Germany, which at that time had a strong military force and left a deep mark on the history of this war.

It can be said that there are countless kinds. Including various battlefield transformation models and factory stereotyped models, the following will only talk about the mainstream common. And the modification of No. 1 and No. 2 will not be said.

The No. 3 tank ABCD these 4 models of small batch trial production, 37 years No. 3 E type began industrial mass production, all of the above are 37mm guns, 40 years modified No. 3 FG these two kinds of late replacement of 50mm guns, in the same year H type after the replacement of long-barreled 50 guns, 41 years of No. 3 at the end of the end of the No. 3 M, 43 years part of the No. 3 M changed to No. 3 Spitfire tank. The assault guns produced on the chassis of tank No. 3 included 6 models of ABCDEG.

The No. 4 A type was successfully developed in 37 years, the BC type is still being modified, and the D type officially began to be finalized and mass-produced in 39 years. In '42, the No. 4 F2 with an E-type F and a long-bodied tube was mass-produced in the same year, and there were many models up to the J type. There are many modifications to the chassis of the No. 4 tank, including the Rhino tank destroyer, the Grizzly assault gun, the Vespa self-propelled howitzer, and two types of No. 4 tank destroyers, etc., and there are also maintenance vehicles, bridge erection vehicles and many other models for non-tank vehicles.

The Tiger 6 only has an E and H, but because the Tiger has been constantly undervised, it is often said that the early, medium, and late models. There were fewer modifications on the Tiger chassis, the famous Assault Tiger with only 380mm guns. Another option of the Tiger is the Porsche-designed Porsche Tiger, one of which was converted into a Porsche Tiger command vehicle, and the rest was converted into a Ferdinand tank destroyer, which was later renamed the Elephant tank destroyer with many improvements.

The Panther V is available in three DAG variants, with major improvements including improved reliability, increased turret jaw, and later retrofit turrets. The main improvement of the Panther tank chassis is the Cheetah tank destroyer.

Tiger 2 King Tiger tank, King Tiger tank has two models, King Tiger H and King Tiger P with Porsche turret installed, there are many prototypes of the King Tiger modified tank, but only the Tiger Hunter tank destroyer is finalized and mass-produced.

There are only 2 quantities of Mouse tanks, and there is no model division, so they can only be counted as prototypes of Mouse tanks.

The following are the tanks produced in large quantities after capture, LT35 and T38 produced by Czechoslovakia, the German army named Panzer35T and Panzer38T, these two tanks can be described as one of the best tanks in the German army, the modification potential far exceeds the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks, and there are countless modified tank guns, from large to super-large caliber mortars, to 3 kinds of weasels that helped the German army through the T34 crisis, it can be said that every kind of artillery of the German army has been modified on these two hulls, In addition to combat vehicles, there are modifications of various armored transporters.

The above is a basic summary of the important tanks of the German army, including only the official series and some famous prototypes, such as the test car starting with the VK and the ordinary 3 4 or 4 5 temporary modifications.

The German No. 4 tank is the main tank (live: there is no main battle tank in World War II) There are many variants, among which the No. 4 H tank is more powerful The No. 4 is the most produced and the most versatile.

The Germans had other tanks, the Leopard, the most powerful medium tank, which had many technical advantages over Allied tanks.

Tiger and King Tiger, this is the most famous tank of the German army, but due to its high price, poor mobility, small number, and no climate, it cannot become the main tank.

There are also the No. 3 series tank, the T38 tank, the Elephant tank destroyer, the Orion Cheetah, etc., but not many. It is worth mentioning the Weasel and Rhino anti-tank destroyers, which are the main anti-armor units of the German army, which are very powerful.

There are also assault guns, three-studded, four-struggling and so on that mainly provide fire support.

Tiger tank. Anti-tank destroyer No. 4, King Tiger tank, No. 3 tank, No. 4 tank. Wild Bee self-propelled howitzer.

During World War II, the German Tiger tank was called a tank killer, and the elephant tank was also very powerful.

There are not many Leopard tanks, No. 1 tanks, No. 2 assault tanks, No. 3 tanks, No. 4 tanks, Tiger tanks during World War II, elephant tanks, Rhino tanks, and Grizzly tanks, as well as SS 45L extended tanks, No. 4 assault 40L extended tanks, etc.

2. E series tanks.

E-10 type: 10 light armored combat vehicles of 15T.

Type E-25:

Tanks III and IV and their successors to the destroyer vehicles.

E-50: The successor to the Panther medium tank.

E-75: The successor to the King Tiger Heavy tank.

E-100: A 140T super-heavy tank with better performance than the Mouse.

3. E-50 standard battle tank.

This series mainly includes E3, E5, E-10, E-25, E-50, E-75, E-100 and other models. Among them, the E3 and E5 are mainly used as light auxiliary vehicles, the E10-E75 is the main vehicle, and the E100 is a new model that can replace the Mouse Super Heavy Tank.

4. E-25 destroys combat vehicles.

5. PZKPFW II tank.

The Panzer II was a World War II tank of Nazi Germany, which was used to fill the gaps in other designs and played an important role in the battles of Poland and France in World War II. By the end of 1942, the vast majority of the No. 2 tanks had left the first line units, and the production line was discontinued by 1943, although the hull continued to be modified back to other types of armored vehicles.

6. Type C tank No. 1.

7. Type D tank No. 1.

8. pzkpfw vii tank No. 8 Rat-type (not mass-produced) The heaviest tank designed by Germany in World War II, and the record holder for the heaviest tank in the world so far. The Rat tank was not only designed but also reached the stage of production, with a total of two prototypes being produced.

Although the No. 5 and No. 6 tanks are famous all over the world, in the early days of World War II, the German attack on France mainly relied on the No. 2 and No. 3 tanks, and the No. 4 tanks almost swept across Europe, and the No. 5 and No. 6 tanks were mainly developed by the Soviet Union after the attack, and as for the No. 7 and No. 8 tanks, they can be completely ignored.

To put it simply, No. 2 and No. 3 are the initial main battle tanks, and No. 5 and No. 6 are late-stage tanks, but there are not many of them No. 5 and No. 6, and most of them have been converted into self-propelled guns.

The main tanks are the No. 3 tank, the No. 4 medium tank, the Leopard medium tank (in fact, this is just the definition of the German army, which is essentially a heavy tank), the Tiger heavy tank, and the King Tiger (Tiger 2) heavy tank.

The No. 4 medium tank produced the most: more than 8,000.

Leopard tanks: about five or six thousand units of various models.

Tiger tanks: 1,355 units.

King Tiger Tank: Minimum, 489 units.

Tank No. 3: more than four thousand.

There are also two smaller tanks, No. 1 and No. 2, and the number is not very large, adding up to one or two thousand.
