The Battle of Paderborn - 1945

Hello and welcome to The AceDestroyer!
By the end of March 1945, the Western Allies were racing to the heart of Germany. The 3rd Armoured Division was tasked to capture Paderborn, but little did they know that the Germans had sent a Panzer Brigade formed out of 22 King Tigers to the area. Both armoured units clashed in what would become known as the 1945 Battle of Paderborn. Find out more in this episode of Tank Battles of WW2.

On a side note I must say that making this particular video was extremely difficult. Temperatures were incredibly high, making it very tough to record, make scripts etc… Therefore there are a few linguistic mistakes I made in the first set of script I had. It was just too hot to redo it, so I just stuck with it. Uploading the video to my computer took 13 hours instead of the regular 1 to 2 hours. It’s just a miracle I was able to finish it on time. None the less I hope you’ll enjoy!
