When Tigers and Joseph Stalin Clashed - Trailer
Next story: Yarnhub's Wake Island defense begins with an order to wait
A T-34 is spotted ahead, Soviet crew members sound the alarm, and a Tiger rolls into the village. Yarnhub's new trailer puts the viewer between the crews, cutting from commanders scanning the road to men hurriedly loading another shell.
The studio's two uploads this week belong to the same story: "When Tigers and Joseph Stalin Clashed" and its trailer. The Stalin of the title refers to the Soviet IS tanks, named after Joseph Stalin, rather than a personal appearance by the leader. The trailer has reached roughly 280,000 views.
The full film's description sets the encounter at Malinava on July 22, 1944. Otto Carius leads two German Tigers toward the village, while Soviet commander Captain Ivan Moroz concentrates on approaching German assault guns. Yarnhub builds its account around a dangerous uncertainty: neither side knows the other's strength, and neither has infantry, artillery or aircraft supporting it. These are animated historical reconstructions, not archival combat footage.
Away from Latvia, "When the US Hit Tokyo After Pearl Harbor" carries the most momentum. The Doolittle Raid film has reached nearly 16 million views less than three weeks after publication. Its carrier-launched B-25s are drawing more daily views than the new tank trailer, while September's Wake Island film also remains active.
Yarnhub added subscribers over the week, with daily viewing a little below its usual level. It nevertheless recorded the largest weekly view gain among the nearby military and history channels here. Kentucky Ballistics is enjoying above-usual daily viewing; fellow animation studio The Armchair Historian is having a quieter spell.
