Youtube started blocking German RC tank videos, deleting entire channels. This is crazy. :-< Screenshots from the FB group, the same thing happened to my friend. First they blocked individual videos and then banned the entire channel. He has no access to his videos, subscriptions, etc. In his videos the Tiger and Panther drive without any markings or flags.

That’s a joke. The are models, it’s not like it’s someone driving 1 round Berlin in an ss uniform running over cars laughing their faces off is it

He needs to protest the banning of the channel.

A member from the German HLPF had the same problem.
He always posts superb videos on the forum and he ran into the same issues with YT.
He got warned about it, and another member was even blocked for life!
Complains were send to YT without any effects!
Nothing wrong with those vids, no music from back than, no shooting, no forbidden signs, just great looking tanks driving around.
Too bad.

I was looking last night and there are still a number of videos on there with German tanks and markings, but significantly less than before

That is troubling. It's not like the tanks have swastikas on them. I got into this hobby after I dozed off after watching a video during Covid lockdown on the Bovington Tiger Day and woke up to an RCWorld's YT channel 2 hour video from a German model show. I was hooked. I would never have even remembered RC Tanks without seeing that video.

My channel was sanctioned and deleted and all were based on German tanks and allied tanks . Including some videos when I went on the trip to Normandy two years ago

Its probably not even youtube, more likely some no-life Karen type who has nothing better to do with their time than reporting video's that they personally find disagreeable. Youtube's content is run by Bot's these days, so appealing doesn't do any good.
