When Panzers Faced Shermans with Welded Junk – This Ended It All

In July 1944, the Allied invasion had stalled in Normandy's deadly hedgerow country. Sherman tanks became death traps, their crews burning alive as they climbed the ancient earthen walls. Then a maintenance sergeant named Curtis Culin did something no military engineer had thought of—he welded crude steel tusks from German beach obstacles onto tank fronts. Within 48 hours of the first field test, hundreds of tanks were modified with his "Rhino" device, and Operation Cobra's breakthrough began. This is the true story of American battlefield ingenuity that stunned German Panzer commanders and broke the Normandy deadlock, based on declassified Army records and veteran testimonies.
