Testing German Anti-Tank Tactics - T-34 vs Axe - Video

Jumping on a T-34/85 for science. In this video I jump on a T-34/85 and show one of the more bold German anti-tank tactics for the infantry in early war, a maneuver I call the "Super Mariö Ostfront", which required the use of an axe. Then I talk with Francis Pulham on why this maneuver was even more problematic in real-life due to a different type of T-34 and of course movement and other elements that were not present.
