I want to be fully transparent with you. I’m a Brazilian creator from a low-income background, trying to build an honest extra income by making World War II history videos. I don’t speak English well, so I research everything first and use ChatGPT and other AI tools to structure the scripts based on verified facts. Some images are AI-generated because YouTube often demonetizes or removes videos that use real wartime photos due to copyright.

I apologize for any imperfect AI pronunciation — I simply can’t afford expensive tools. I work overnight in Brazil earning about $270 a month, pay around $125 in child support, plus rent, and spend my days creating videos with very little sleep. Still, I read every comment and constantly improve the channel.

US engineers examined captured Sherman discovering armor welds fractured catastrophically when struck. Metallurgical analysis revealed hydrogen embrittlement in 12% of production. Three thousand tanks already in combat had defects killing crews.
