Well this one is not about the G but their new Stug IIIB and shows them inspecting the parts for the build.
Bonus is seeing parts for a Puma!

THe part where they show the restored 7.5cm gun for the Stug, how it was fully functional. It was amazing.

I liked the detail of the loaders safety button and the red light for the gunner so he knew it was safe to fire without any audible communication between the crew.
The case was also interesting in the fact that the interior is unfaded panzer grey while the exterior is faded and weathered, so no getting the colour wrong.

At 12:35 the description of the “red lamp” is just. …wrong.
That lamp lights up when the gunner presses his trigger. It’s to indicate that he actually has power, the battery connection is OK.
It may or may not fire the gun, because there are more safety devices later in the chain.
But it definitely is not controlled by anything the loader does.
Also : at 13:20 he talks about the backup battery, and he shows us the switch on the cradle where you can switch it in. You would do that if the gunner’s lamp fails to light up.
But he doesn’t mention that his restoration is missing its backup battery.
Here’s a photo of a Stug gun, and the battery that he’s missing.
It’s a standard part and there are a few of them in Panzers at Bovington museum.
