Скачать или смотреть Patton Crushed Germany’s 58 Brand New Panthers

In September 1944, a German general launched what should have been a decisive counterattack.

Fifty-eight brand-new Panther tanks—Germany’s most feared armored weapon—were sent into the fog of Lorraine to stop General George Patton’s Third Army. By every rule of armored warfare, the Panthers should have dominated.

Only eight survived.

This video explores the forgotten Battle of Arracourt, where American forces dismantled one of Germany’s last armored gambles—not by fielding better tanks, but by using speed, radios, artillery doctrine, and logistics in ways the German army could not match.

This was not a story about courage versus cowardice. Both sides fought hard.
It was a story about systems versus weapons.

At Arracourt, the Panther met a modern, industrial form of warfare—and lost.
