Germans Called It 'Unfair' — America's Weapon That Let One GI Destroy A Tiger In 2 Seconds

Описание: February 1943. Kasserine Pass, Tunisia. Germans overrun American positions and capture five strange metal tubes. They ship them to Berlin. Within months, Germany is mass-producing copies. But it's already too late. By 1944, every American squad carries the original — and German tank commanders are afraid to advance past a pile of rubble. A $25 steel tube. Improvised sights made from a coat hanger. Eisenhower ranked it alongside the atomic bomb as one of four "tools of victory." The Germans called it unfair. This is not a story about rockets or engineering. This is the forensic audit of how a scrap-pile invention killed Blitzkrieg — and the 19-year-old who proved it with four tanks in the snow.

📊 Inside this documentary:
• Why in 1941, American infantry had ZERO weapons that could stop a German tank
• The lieutenant who built a prototype from a junkyard tube — and bent a coat hanger into sights
• 476,628 produced. $25 each. The math that buried the Panzer divisions
• The sealed crates disaster: 5,000 weapons shipped to combat — and nobody knew how to use them
• The high school history teacher who strapped six of them to a fabric airplane and went tank hunting
• A captured German document: "Speed and shock tactics no longer viable"
