Default German Tank Factory 1942

I stumbled across this video during a recent search. Thought some of you might find it interesting.

That was a good find, thanks. Obviously prior to the bombing raids.

Thank you very much White Flight.
Brilliant stuff that I'd certainly not seen before (other than the odd snippet), 3's & StuG b's? so just pre, or very early war?
(I shall now go and share that with some other corners of the internet )

Cheers,
Adam.

Video title indicates 1942. I'm not sure about the model, but here's a link for info on the StuG:

Very interesting indeed. But I wonder why German commentators always have to sound like Daffy Duck?

I would think the thing that would surprise most is how little of the work is on an assembly line and the lack of power tools in use. Very inefficent.

Perhaps they should retitle it "The Arsenal of Democracy and Communism"?
