Скачать или смотреть German Tank Crews Dismissed the American Pershing — Until Its 90mm Gun Shattered the Tiger Legend

For years, German tank crews believed the war on the ground had already been decided. From North Africa to Normandy, Tiger and Panther tanks destroyed American Shermans at distances that felt untouchable, reinforcing a powerful belief: German armor was simply superior.

Then the Pershing arrived.

This documentary tells the true story of how the U.S. Army’s M26 Pershing — armed with a powerful 90mm gun — shattered the illusion of German invincibility in the final months of World War II. Drawing on combat reports, after-action reviews, and firsthand crew accounts, we examine how German tankers went from laughing at the new American heavy tank to watching it destroy Tigers head-on.

The Pershing did not win the war by numbers. It won by proving that years of hard lessons, industrial patience, and battlefield adaptation had finally closed the armored gap. In ruined European towns and frozen fields, the Pershing showed that no weapon remains dominant forever once the enemy learns — and responds.

This is a story not just about tanks, but about confidence, myth, and the moment when German armored superiority finally broke.
