The "Ugly" US Tank That SHOCKED Rommel's Panzers

Описание: It was tall, it was ugly, and it had a gun sticking out of its side. The M3 Lee/Grant was a bizarre, compromised, and often hated tank. The Soviets called it a "Grave for Seven Brothers." So how did this "death trap" become the secret weapon that shocked Rommel's Afrika Korps and held the line in the darkest days of WWII?

This is the definitive story of the ultimate military ugly duckling. We reveal the desperate, last-minute compromises that led to its strange design, the shocking story of its combat debut in North Africa, and why this "terrible" tank was secretly one of the most important weapons of the entire war.

This isn't just the story of a flawed machine; it's the story of the stopgap savior that paved the way for the M4 Sherman and an Allied victory.

This historical documentary provides a detailed analysis of the American Medium Tank M3, including both the "Lee" (US) and "Grant" (British) variants. We explore its development as a stopgap measure, its combat performance in the North Africa campaign against the German Afrika Korps, and its service with the Soviet Union via Lend-Lease. We compare its specifications to the German Panzer III and Panzer IV and discuss its design flaws, such as its high profile and hull-mounted 75mm gun.
