They laughed at his “homemade” armor—until it stopped a Panzerfaust shell.

The untold story of WW2 Sherman tank crews who defied orders and turned their tanks into junkyard fortresses. When official armor failed against German Panzerfausts, desperate mechanics welded EVERYTHING — sandbags, concrete, spare tracks, even GERMAN armor plates stolen from battlefields.
🔥 KEY MOMENTS:
• North Africa 1943: First "hillbilly armor" experiments
• Normandy 1944: Culin Rhino hedgerow cutters change the war
• Patton vs Bradley: Sandbags banned vs concrete bunkers embraced
• Creighton Abrams' "Thunderbolt VII" — Sherman covered in enemy steel
• Pacific horrors: Wooden spikes and "birdcage" defenses vs suicide charges
• Scientific tests prove: Junk armor saved lives (but broke transmissions)
💥 Real crew stories:
"They laughed at our 'junkyard assembly' — until it stopped a Panzerfaust cold"
Patton screamed at sandbag crews: "Useless weight!" (He was half right...)
Concrete armor that blinded crews with spalling — yet they begged for more
