How Shermans Killed Panthers 7-to-1 Without Better Guns

Описание: #ww2history #wwii #ww2music
The Tiger tank had 100mm of frontal armor and an 88mm gun. The Sherman had a $5 telephone box welded to its hull. One was a gladiator. The other was a neuron in history's first armored battlefield network. At Arracourt in 1944, American Shermans achieved a 7-to-1 kill ratio against superior Panther tanks—not through firepower, but through information dominance. This is the story of how FM radio technology, industrial scale, and networked warfare rendered German armor deaf, dumb, and blind.

Welcome to ‪@wartimereview‬ where we uncover the grit, logistics, and forgotten operations of the Eastern Front. We strip away the mythology to reveal the brutal arithmetic of World War II.

In this video, you'll learn why German industry could only equip 20% of its tanks with full transceivers while America put FM radios in all 49,000 Shermans. You'll understand the physics behind why American crews described their radios "like a telephone" while German crews heard only static. And you'll see how a field-improvised "Grunt Phone" solved a billion-dollar network gap in the hedgerows of Normandy.
