Скачать или смотреть They Banned His “Scrap-Metal Launcher” — Until It Crippled a Japanese Tank Crew

In the unforgiving jungles of Luzon, 1944, one American soldier changed the course of an entire battle using a weapon that wasn’t even supposed to exist. Corporal David Mercer’s invention—a crude, banned “scrap-metal launcher” welded together from jungle wreckage—was ridiculed, forbidden, and called dangerous by every officer who saw it. But when Japanese tanks broke through the lines and dozens of American soldiers were moments from being overrun, his outlawed creation became their only hope.

What happened next stunned his commanders, terrified the enemy, and became one of the most unbelievable improvised-weapon success stories of World War II. This is the true, cinematic retelling of how a desperate soldier with nothing but ingenuity and courage crippled a Japanese tank crew, broke an entire assault wave, and saved his squad from annihilation.

If you love forgotten WWII stories, battlefield ingenuity, underdog heroism, and emotional, documentary-style storytelling, this episode is for you.
