Early Access: Sink or Swim: The Schwimmwagen
First off, the visit to the Panzermuseum was very successful, big thanks to Andy and Tobias here. We were able to record 25 videos. On three days, we entered the museum at around 0700 (since from 0700 to 1000 there are no visitors), but also recorded throughout the day, until around 1730. Thanks ...

Added M2 SSD and GPU, it worked.
Then realized I had forgotten my password... (which I entered for around 2 years several times a day... but muscle memory and lately I was using different computers...) luckily, Windows security is bad R...

I am finishing up the preparations for the Panzermuseum visit today on the other computer and tomorrow will "reinstate" my old computer - hopefully everything works out, I have to put back in 5 drives a...

The PC was sent away from Germany on Monday, usually it should arrive today or even yesterday, yet for some reason (DHL) seems to be extremely slow with this delivery, the 2 updates by now have more 24 hours each time, in case around 36 hours...
Good news, my backup PC arrived a...
Good news, I just received news that my PC was fixed. (Although, it still needs to be sent to me.)
It seems I was correct two times, both the motherboard and CPU had to be replaced. The chances for that are very low, since generally even one component failing is rare. (Keep in mind, it is 2...
2025-08-29 11:40:21 +0000 UTC View PostToday I got confirmation that my old PC arrived at the seller and will be inspected and ideally repaired.
In the mean-time I ordered a spare PC (way weaker but also cheaper) last Saturday, sadly, I chose a third party seller that provided wrong information about the shipping date, it should ha...
As mentioned before, I had some serious issue with my computer. I thought the motherboard was the issue, but I tried 3 different ones and 2 different models. I also got new RAM, so basically that leaves the CPU and/or PowerUnit as culprits, but maybe something else I haven't accounted for. So far...
2025-08-21 17:16:50 +0000 UTC View PostThe last 3 days I spent trying to get my computer running.
My plan was to finish Tuesday's (today) video on Sunday, since I was on a metal festival with a friend and the video was mostly done...
On Sunday morning my computer wouldn't boot anymore, the power on self test (POST) showed...
2025-08-19 16:47:45 +0000 UTC View PostIn early September I will be 3 days at the Panzermuseum Munster. I will be joined by Tobias (former Leopard 2 gunner) and a Canadian friend (no military background). I likely will meet with the director of the Panzermuseum Ralf Raths as well.
Feel free to post below your topics, q...
sorry, for the delay

Dr. Col. Matthias Wasinger agreed to a Q & A, and I might actually visit his unit, if we get questions that make sense to do in person or better with troops and/or equipment.
He is currently the commander of a mountain infantry battalion (Jäger Bataillon 24, Gebirgsjäger).
His unit ...
I asked the German combat engineer Buttjer Freimann (pseudonym), which I interviewed/asked previously quite a lot of stuff about the Ukraine War. Here is one video with him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh_SmROB2AM...

Was a bit busy the last weeks, had a recording session for an upcoming documentary and the week before that I was at the TMAF 2025, as you can see.

Hi,
by now I am quite used to getting fewer views than before. Yet, recently, I am more and more confused how some videos are more successful than others.
Case in point are these 3 videos, I suspected the Firefly doing pretty well, around 80-100K and the Pz IV vs T-34 doing at least 100...
finally the complete interview
