Unstoppable Wave: How Detroit's Tank Factory Buried Germany – The Real M4 Sherman Production Story

Forget the myths of the "death trap" Sherman—the M4's true power was America's unstoppable production wave from Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant (DATP), churning out 25 tanks a day by 1943, overwhelming Hitler's elite Panzers through quantity and adaptability. From the 1941 Chrysler conversion—turning auto lines into 50,000-unit behemoths—to decentralized manufacturing across 11 factories, the US outproduced Germany 5:1, with innovations like the Multi-bank engine and wet stowage fixes turning vulnerabilities into victories.​​

This video uncovers the DATP's 113-acre miracle: 25,000 workers building hulls in 50 hours, radial engines from aircraft plants, and HVSS suspension upgrades for mud and bocage. See how Liberty Ships carried endless Shermans to North Africa, enabling Kasserine comebacks, and how the "Easy Eight" variant crushed Tigers in the Bulge. Stats show: 49,234 Shermans vs. 6,000 Panzers total—proving factories, not just fields, won WWII.​​

Declassified blueprints reveal the industrial strategy that buried the Wehrmacht.
