Every WW2 Warship Ranked (Weakest to Most Powerful)
Every WW2 Warship Explained — from a plywood PT boat to the mighty Yamato, ranked from weakest to most powerful.

The most powerful warship ever built could throw a shell the weight of a car 26 miles — and it was sunk by planes flying off ships a fraction its size. In this video we climb the ladder of World War II naval power, one warship type at a time: the PT boat that nearly killed JFK, the whale-catcher corvette that held the Atlantic, the U-boat wolfpacks that almost starved Britain, HMS Hood's 3-minute death, the jeep carriers of Taffy 3 that stared down Yamato off Samar, the Battle of Midway, and the final voyage of the largest battleship in history.

The Best WW2 Tank Nobody Talks About
The best WW2 tank nobody talks about wasn't the Tiger, the Sherman or the T-34. These are the 10 most underrated tanks of World War 2: forgotten machines that were faster, tougher or smarter than the famous ones, and still got left out of the history books.

Everybody knows the Tiger. But ask a serious tank historian for the best tank of WWII, and they start naming tanks you've never heard of. In this video we rank 10 underrated WW2 tanks, from the Czech-built Panzer 38(t) that powered the Blitzkrieg to the British Comet, possibly the finest tank Britain built in the entire war, which arrived just weeks too late to matter.

Every WW2 Battle Tank Ranked — WORST to BEST (Part 2)
he Soviets could build 10 T-34s for every 1 King Tiger Germany finished, and that math decided WW2 more than armor or guns ever did. In Part 2 of Every WW2 Battle Tank Ranked from WORST to BEST, we rank 13 more World War 2 tanks, from a machine-gun training tank Hi**er sent to war, to the French tank that beat the panzers and still lost, to the 70-ton monster that cracked its own road wheels.

You'll see why the Panzer I and the Vickers Mk VI never belonged on a battlefield, why the Italian M13/40 and the Japanese Chi-Ha fell so far behind, how the M3 Stuart "Honey" and the Valentine won their crews' trust, why the StuG III became Germany's deadliest armored killer, and how the M26 Pershing, the Tiger II King Tiger, the British Comet and the Soviet T-34-85 fought for the top spot.

Every WWII Air Force Ranked — WORST TO BEST (part 2)
Which air force really broke Japan? Not the one that dropped the atomic bomb. Every WWII air force ranked worst to best, Part 2: the forgotten air forces of World War 2, from a puppet state ramming B-29s to the carrier pilots who won the Pacific.

Part 1 ranked the giants everybody knows: the Luftwaffe, the RAF, the Soviet VVS and the US Army Air Forces. This time we rank the WW2 air forces history forgot. 21 Fairey Swordfish biplanes cripple the Italian fleet at Taranto. French pilots fly Soviet Yak fighters for Stalin with the Normandie-Niemen regiment. Romania's top ace flies a captured American officer to Italy in his Bf 109 to rescue more than 1,000 US airmen. Canada trains more than 131,000 aircrew for the Allies. And US Navy dive bombers sink 3 Japanese carriers in about 6 minutes at the Battle of Midway.

Every WW2 R***e Ranked — WORST to BEST (part 2)
15 forgotten ri**es of World War 2 — ranked from the junk gun Germany handed to teenagers in the ruins of Berlin, all the way up to the American r***e that nearly beat the M1 Garand. In Part 2 we go past the Garand and the StG 44 to the weapons history forgot: a Chinese r***e older than the airplane, a Soviet full-auto battle r***e 20 years ahead of its time, a silent British commando carbine, and the Johnson M1941 — the r***e that lost in a meeting room, not on the battlefield.

Every Failed Tank Concept Explained in 12 Minutes
2 tanks that were too insane to work. From Russia's 9-meter-wheel Tsar Tank to a Soviet tank with a MiG-15 jet engine bolted on top, this is every failed tank concept explained: the tanks that were killed by their own ambition.

For over a century, military engineers kept asking the same dangerous question: what if we made the tank bigger, weirder, deadlier? What if it could fly? What if it ran on a nuclear reactor? Most of these experimental tanks never fired a shot in anger. Some got stuck in the mud on day one. Some were too heavy for any bridge in Europe. One made its own crew seasick. Here is the full story of the strangest, most over-engineered tank designs in military history, and why every one of them failed.

Every WW2 Submachine Gun Ranked — WORST to DEADLIEST
very WW2 Submachine Gun Ranked from WORST to DEADLIEST: from Japan's underpowered Type 100 to the Soviet PPSh-41, the "burp gun" that fired 900 rounds a minute and was built in over 6 million copies.

Which submachine gun was truly the deadliest of World War 2? In this video we rank 13 of the most important WW2 SMGs (the MP40, Thompson, Sten, M3 Grease Gun, Beretta MAB 38, Owen Gun, PPS-43, Suomi KP/-31, PPSh-41 and more), judged on firepower, reliability, rate of fire, and the number that really decided the war: how many were built.

You'll see why the beautifully made French MAS-38 and the American M42 barely mattered, how Britain's crude Sten became a weapon of war through sheer numbers, why tankers loved the M3 Grease Gun, how the MP40 set the template for every modern SMG, why Australian troops trusted the Owen Gun with their lives in the jungle, and how a gun designed inside besieged Leningrad became one of the best of the war. Then comes the final verdict: why craftsmanship lost to mass production, and why the PPSh-41 takes the crown.

The Most Absurd Tanks That Armies Actually Used
The largest tank ever built died on a railway flatcar without firing a single shot — and it wasn't even the strangest one. In this video we rank and explain the 18 MOST ABSURD TANKS ever put into service: five-turret "land battleships," tanks welded from farm tractors, a tank that swims, a gun that points backwards, and a modern tank wearing a metal shed. From the mud of WW1 to the drone war in Ukraine, every one of these ridiculous war machines was a real answer to a real problem — and the story of why armies actually built them is wilder than the tanks themselves.

Tanks featured in this video:
Saint-Chamond • A7V • Fiat 2000 • Char 2C • T-35 • Neubaufahrzeug • L3 tankette • NI "fright" tractor tank • Bob Semple • Covenanter • Valentine Archer • Sherman DD • Hobart's Funnies (Crab, Crocodile, AVRE) • Tetrarch • Sturmtiger • M50 Ontos • Strv 103 (S-tank) • Russian "Turtle" tanks

From WW1 trench crawlers to WW2 giants, Cold War experiments, and today's drone-proof turtle tanks — this is the ultimate countdown of the weirdest, most bizarre, and most absurd armored vehicles in military history.

Every WW2 Torpedo Explained — Ranked WORST to BEST
n July 1943, an American submarine fired torpedo after torpedo into a helpless ship sitting dead in the water… and every single one was a dud. Meanwhile, Japan had a torpedo that could kill a cruiser from 25 miles away without leaving a trace. Same war. Same ocean. Completely different weapons.

In this video we rank EVERY major WW2 torpedo from WORST to BEST — from the embarrassing American Mark 14 that bounced off hulls like hammers, to Germany's torpedo crisis, Britain's "Stringbag" Swordfish attacks that sank the Bismarck, the tiny acoustic "Fido" that hunted U-boats like a dog, and finally the legendary Japanese Type 93 "Long Lance," the deadliest torpedo of the entire war.

We break down how each torpedo actually worked, the real battles they fought — Pearl Harbor, Midway, Taranto, Guadalcanal, the sinking of the Bismarck, Prince of Wales and Repulse — and why the richest nation on Earth ended up with the worst fish in the sea… before fixing it and winning anyway.

The war under the water wasn't won by the most beautiful weapon. It was won by the one that finally exploded, every single time.

Every WW2 Landmine Explained in 11 Minutes
They never charged, never retreated, and never slept. They just waited — sometimes for a soldier, sometimes for 60 years. This is the story of the deadliest landmines of World War 2, ranked from the clumsy and near-useless all the way up to the single most feared piece of buried steel on any battlefield.

From Japan's disappointing Type 93 to the German S-Mine 35 "Bouncing Betty" that turned a soldier's own survival instinct against him, we break down 12 WW2 mines — how they worked, why they terrified the men who had to cross open ground, and why millions of them are STILL buried and still killing 80 years later.
