Girls und Panzer AMV - Skrigjaargen Polka

Fun fact: Parola Tank Museum in Finland was in dire need of funds for an outdoor shelter for some of the tanks, including the worlds only BT-42. Many of the donations they got were from Japan, and they were a bit confused. After a bit of research they found out that it was because of Girls und Panzer: Der Film as the BT-42 was featured in glorious fashion. And that's how a Japanese animated film about cute anime girls battling with tanks helped preserve some Finnish history.

My head cannon for the GuP universe is that the Finnish tanking school only has one tank and team at any given time. They never win any matches but they meme the absolute sh*t out of anyone they face off against, giving them a feared and respected reputation. "Oh god! We blew of the tracks... it only made them faster!"

Nokia tank.

Pershing: Breaks their tracks BT: goes faster Pershing: Confused Screaming

Hetzer IRL: slow but good firepower and well armored GuP Hetzer: am s p e e d

BT-42 -American transmission -Russian turret -British gun -German munitions Only a Fin could come up with something so beautifully insane. Edit: corrections to parts have been made in the replies. 👍 Edit: just wanna say that it’s been over a year and people are still discussing the parts of this Mad Lad of a tank. That’s kinda awesome.

Love the big, ferocious grin on her face when she reaches for the steering wheel.

>BT-42 missing half its wheels and reeling at a 45 degree angle >also BT-42 with one last round loaded “I didn’t hear no goddamn bell.”

Fun fact: Säkkijärven Polkka was used in one of the first or perhaps the first instance of electronic warfare in world's history. When Finns took back Viipuri the Russians left mines behind that could be detonated by playing three tones over the radio waves. The Finns countered this by playing Säkkijärven Polkka on the radio on continuous loop for several hours and prevented the Russians from detonating their mines and stopped only when the mines were all finally defused. ~ZeOverman A couple of additional details: This song was picked for interference because its constantly shifting notes within the range of the detonation signals made for good interference. Second, I am uncertain if they did manage to find all the mines within the time they kept playing the song, but based on studying undetonated mines Finns expected the batteries on the detonators to run out in approximately three months. So I guess they decided to keep it running an extra 50% just to be safe. ~Crowley9 Parolas tank museum in Finland was in dire need of funds for an outdoor shelter for some of the tanks, including the worlds only BT42.

Its funny how the bt series were designed by race car designer

Fun fact: the BT-42 can actually drive without it tracks but the process was much slower than compered to the anime

Everyone here is talking about the history of the song and the history of the BT-42 and how the GuP Community managed to help preserve the last surviving BT-42 in the WORLD, but no one’s talking about how this song just freaking slaps.

Person: BREAK THERE TRACKS! Team: breaks tracks Person: oh shoot there even faster on wheels

Gotta respect the Christie Suspension

I like how the driver is so happy after the tracks are broken like she wanted them broken 😂

Russian Bias + Finnish Ferocity = BT-42

Mad respect for using the Dreadnought’s version of this song. They are extremely underrated.

The driver is my soul animal.

never thought I'd see Finland as an anime but now I'm happy.

It’s to the point that the enemy tanks just start running away from the Finnish tank. And yes, I'm aware it would be more accurate to call the BT-42 self propelled artillery.
