Описание: Soviet engineers cut open a captured Sherman tank in 1944 and discovered a shocking truth: America's revolutionary wet-stowage ammunition protection system was failing catastrophically. Defective welds, compromised rubber seals, and corner-cutting production meant the "safest tank in the world" was burning just as easily as any other. What Soviet metallurgist Dmitri Ustinov found under his microscope would kill hundreds of Allied tankers—and completely reshape how the Soviets designed the T-54, the most produced tank in history. This is the story of how quality control failures in Pittsburgh and Detroit factories were exposed in the smoking wreckage of the Eastern Front, and how one technical report changed armoured warfare forever.
