On the roads of East Prussia, a German Opel truck bumps along the road. In this era, Germany not only had Mercedes-Benz cars, but also Opel Lightning, which was also a famous fast horse used by the German Army.

At least around 1940, the company that produced the most trucks in Germany was not Mercedes, but Opel! For the German army, the status of Opel was the same as that of the liberation truck in China.

Behind this Opel truck was another truck - a full 30 trucks, which drove by in a mighty way, allowing passers-by to stop and watch.

The people in these trucks were all from a unit that was famous on the Eastern Front and terrified the Soviet army.

This unit was the sharp knife of Army Group B, the most elite unit in Guderian's hands, the 505th Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion.

They were transferred back to East Prussia from the Eastern Front, where there was already a near-total ceasefire, and the whole crew was in these trucks, no less than a person.

On the bumpy Opel truck, the commander of the 1st Company complained: "It's really unpleasant for us to leave our tanks to the 515 Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion and return to East Prussia with all the troops." ”

He nodded and said depressedly, "Yes! That's our tank, and even the cans inside were left for the newcomers! Damn it! ”

This time the appointment was very hurried and strict. They had to abandon all supplies and supplies, and left the front line directly on the train back to Poland.

Originally, the supply of the 505 battalion was better than that of other troops, so the 515 tank battalion that received their supplies was really a big bargain.

"Don't mention it, even the steel helmet is not allowed to be taken away, it's really enough to hold your breath! We're the 505th Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion! The most brilliant troops on the entire Eastern Front! "When the commander of the 1st Company mentioned these things, he felt like he had lost money.

"Take the record of our battalion commander as an example, who can compare to the battle of Red Tekach? With that Wittman of the 501 Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion? No kidding! The non-commissioned officer of the other battalion headquarters also agreed at this time.

Anyway, Karjus is sitting on the sidelines, and it is definitely a wise thing to pat the battalion commander's ass at this time.

Carlus, who had been looking at the factories outside the truck in a daze, was disturbed by everyone's quarrel, and finally withdrew his gaze.

He had been amazed at the pace of construction in Poland, but now he had to turn his attention to his men.

"Wittman is really strong, you can't surpass him!" As the battalion commander, Karyus said at this time.

His words made everyone have no meaning to continue to complain, except for Karyus, who was promoted and lost his competitiveness, there is indeed no one in the 505 battalion who can be compared to Weitman.

On the Eastern Front, Wittman's personal record had grown to an incredible 307 tanks, a frightening number.

In other words, with one Leopard tank, Wittmann killed almost one Soviet tank division!

That's right! You read that right, indeed a tank division! The Soviet tank divisions are rarely fully staffed, and the number of tanks equipped is between 100 and 200, and there are few tank divisions that can be equipped with 300 tanks.

And the figure of 307 vehicles, even on the side of the German army, is the normal number of tanks of an armored division.

Because Germany is also constantly expanding the number of its armored divisions, there are very few fully equipped armored divisions, and the number of tanks and equipment in most armored divisions is only between 250 and 340. 307 tanks, which is almost the number of tanks equipped by a tank division.

Although this figure is suspicious of flooding - more than two-thirds of the more than 300 tanks destroyed by Wittman were probably enemy tanks that could not pose a threat to the Leopards.

For example, the M3lee tanks and M3 tanks that the United States gave to the United Kingdom, and the Soviet T-26 and other fast tanks.

But in any case, Wittmann destroyed the most tanks of any German army, and he became the idol of all tank crews on the Eastern Front.

Although the 505 Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion has achieved brilliant results, it has a certain gap compared to Weitmann in terms of personal performance.

Although 11 of the battalion's 45 tanks had more than 100 tanks destroyed, another 17 tanks had more than 70 destroyed.

However, they did have a certain gap with Wittmann, who had destroyed more than 300 tanks, and it was a gap that could not be caught up in a short period of time.

"We're almost there, so the secrecy rules are no longer valid." Sitting on a bumpy car, Karjus said to his men, "We're here to receive new weapons!" ”

"Oh my God! Really? "Hearing this incredible news, everyone was excited.

The equipment is replenished to them first, which is an honor and a kind of love. New equipment often means more powerful and advanced, and it can be regarded as an additional guarantee on the battlefield.

So, when they heard the news, everyone was curious about what kind of tank could be more powerful than the Panther tank, which they were proud of.

"The message is true! But I haven't seen what the new tank looks like. Karjus nodded and spoke.

He also only received an order to receive new weapons and equipment, and then he drove out with his personnel. What kind of surprise will there be, he himself does not know.

However, the order mentions that they will be trained in the use of new weapons at a secret training base in East Prussia.

In the process, they will combine their actual combat experience with new weapons, and strive to make new weapons play a greater role on the battlefield.

"I wish the new tank had heavier armor...... "The deputy battalion commander glanced at Karyus and said what he wanted.

The reason for this is that as the war progressed, the losses of German armored forces on the Eastern Front also began to rise in a straight line.

Soviet tanks are being replaced, and tanks such as the T-26, which were originally vulnerable, are now rare.

Today, the German tanks are fighting with the T-34/76 tanks and the KV-1 tank. These tanks all have the ability to destroy Leopard tanks, so the German tanks are no longer "invincible".

God forbid, Germany has finally developed a new tank before this winter, which gives the German tank crew a new thing to rely on.

As long as they can maintain the technological leadership of tank equipment, then the members of the German tank crew, who are more qualified, can continue to refresh their achievements and continue to maintain their superiority in future battles.
