Lafayette G. Pool wasn't just a tank commander — he was a one-man wrecking crew in a Sherman. Known to his crew as "War Daddy," Pool led the most lethal tank team in American history during WWII. In just 81 days of combat, his crew destroyed 275 vehicles, took out 12 German tanks, killed or captured over 1,200 enemy soldiers, and became the literal blueprint for the movie Fury. But the real story is far more insane than Hollywood ever showed.

This is the true story of In the Mood, In the Mood II, and In the Mood III — the Shermans that Lafayette Pool turned into unstoppable battering rams. From fighting Joe Louis before D-Day, to driving a tank into a lake just to avoid reusing the one where a friend died, to stopping a German supply train filled with Tiger tanks and... lingerie — this story has it all.

Whether you’re a tank enthusiast, a WWII history buff, or just someone who loves wild true stories of American legends, this one’s for you.
