When 5 German Panthers Attacked — This Sherman Gunner’s 5 Shots Destroyed Them All

Описание: #ww2 #ww2history #worldwar2
On June 14, 1944, in the Normandy village of Lingèvres, a single British Sherman Firefly faced the ultimate test. Five German Panther tanks—among the most feared armored vehicles of World War II—advanced across open ground, confident in their superiority.
What followed lasted just six minutes.
Led by Sergeant Gordon Harris and gunner Alec McKillip, the Firefly fired five shots.
Five hits.
Five German Panthers destroyed or disabled.
This is not a myth. It’s a documented combat engagement that proved the value of a weapon the British military almost never built. Rejected multiple times by bureaucracy, the Sherman Firefly and its powerful 17-pounder gun became the only Allied tank capable of defeating Panthers and Tigers at long range during the Normandy campaign.

This is a story about innovation, calm under fire, and how two ordinary soldiers used a controversial weapon to achieve the impossible.
