WWII German engineering was excessive - here's why.
The Australian Armour & Artillery Museum
@ausarmourAbout
The Australian Armour and Artillery Museum opened to the public on Saturday the 6th September 2014. The museum is privately owned and is the largest museum of its kind in the southern hemisphere. We are located next door to Tjapukai and Skyrail on Skyrail Drive, Smithfield, a suburb of Cairns, North Queensland. We are dedicated to the collection, preservation, restoration and display of Armoured Vehicles and Artillery from the 1800’s to the present day. Our collection includes armoured vehicles and artillery from both world wars with a particular focus on WWII. Currently our collection consists of over 200 armoured vehicles and artillery pieces, many of which will not be found anywhere else in Australia. We are constantly on the lookout for additional pieces of equipment that will make our museum a richer experience for those visiting.

Video Description
This week Steve and Kurt head up to our storage facility to pull out the Panzer II final drives and gearbox — partly to help prep for that future build, and partly to compare their internals against the Wespe’s final drives we’re restoring now. Back in the workshop, Steve goes deep into the details — machining, batch stamps, oil seals, sun gears, tolerances, and that strangely beautiful way Germans hand-finished small batches during WWII. It’s a quieter episode — but for those who love the pure engineering behind these machines — this is one of the most fascinating parts of the Wespe story. Follow along as we continue to restore the Wespe SPG to full working order at the Australian Armour & Artillery Museum Subscribe to our channel & hit the notification bell 🔔 so you never miss an upload! ➡️ https://bit.ly/ausarmouryt Keep up to date with the Museum!⬇️⬇️ Facebook ➡️ https://facebook.com/ausarmour Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/ausarmour Twitter ➡️ https://twitter.com/ausarmour Website ➡️ https://ausarmour.com Email ➡️ [email protected]
