Why Panzer Crews Said 'Impossible' After 76mm Guns Punched Through Tiger Armor

Описание: In the winter of 1944, near the German border, American tank crews discovered a truth that shook their faith in the very weapons built to protect them. The new 76mm gun — the U.S. Army’s promised answer to German Panthers and Tigers — was supposed to change everything. Instead, it failed them when they needed it most.
