50+ year old tank, fully kitted and in almost in mint condition... Swiss maintenance and quality. Much impressed.

Looong ago .. as a young soldier in the Swiss Tank Forces I spent months with this baby before we switched to the Leopard II. I have good memories of the PZ 68 .. Very nice to sleep on the rear flat covers after a hard day of training .. Cannon in 6 o clock position high.. protection cover over the barrel.. nice and cosy underneath even in a november repetition course in the alps. Have fun with "my old baby".. and take care of it !! Greetings from Switzerland

As a Swiss, this brought a tiny little tear to my eye. U guys are truly amazing, Greetings!

She looks like the offspring of a Leo and an M48 somewhat. The hyd cooler inside of the turret is feasible due to the Swiss never deploying to the desert I guess. Sort of a dual-use hyd cooler/crew heater. I always get the impression that Jason just KNOWS all of these facts and figures during his presentations. Such good delivery.

Outstanding addition to the museum and great tank tour.
-
It's so cool that more Swiss tanks are getting recognition. Keep up the good work boys!

I was Gunner and Loader on this Tank in my whole Military Service Time in the Swiss Army.

J'ai servis comme pointeur /chargeur puis comandant sur ce char durant une dizaine d'année. C'est avec une grande émotion que je le revois au antipodes de la Suisse. I served as pointer/loader and then commander on this tank for about ten years. It is with great emotion that I see him again at the antipodes of Switzerland.

I was driver in Pz68 and enjoyed every second in that tank. Very nice to drive and i allways had the fastest tank...because i put the gaspedal stopp with hammer away...so my tank made 200 rpm more than others fun time😂

Swiss Army Panzer! Can't wait to see all the special fold out tools! Special episode coming?😃
-
the gentlemen who told us about the tank was very knowledgeable about every aspect. Nice job men, I love all of your machines.
-
Another outstanding acquisition. Showing the world what a great museum looks like. Thanks for the in depth video.
-
Thanks Jason, and team, another brilliant addition to your amazing museum, Cheers.

Wouldn't be surprised that you have more armour than most countries.

I had to do a double take when I saw the SLM plate on the gearbox. It roughly translates to “Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works” they were known for building railway locos especially cog rack locos never knew they built gearboxes for tanks
-
Holy smokes! First the weekly Cutting Edge Engineering drop the a surprise Oz Armory vid!
-
The Chieftain will be pleased with the coverage of the track tensioning system 😂
-
Please sign here for the package. The real hero here is the trailer, being able to support two tanks! So nice to see a running leopard, we had these while I was in the Canadian army.

Every episode is like Christmas. Keep up the great work and videos. Love From America

Well, they gave (swapped) you a tank that was in great condition with most if not all of its ancillary equipment in situ, the engine was in a surprisingly well-looked-after condition which says a lot about its former owners! You have to keep a watch on the Swiss!
