Скачать или смотреть Tony Stein’sHow One Marine Built a Gun the Army Never Approved — and Changed the Battle

February 19, 1945. Iwo Jima. An island that was supposed to fall in a few days turns into a slaughterhouse. American Marines land on black volcanic sand that swallows men and vehicles like quicksand. Three days of naval bombardment were meant to erase the Japanese defenses, but instead of ruins, they find silence. And that silence is a trap.

When the island finally explodes with fire, the beach becomes hell. Machine guns, mortars, and hidden bunkers open up from places no one can see. Men are cut down in seconds. And in that chaos, one Marine moves forward carrying a weapon that officially does not exist — a machine gun built from aircraft parts, broken rifles, and pure stubborn engineering.

They call it the Stinger. It was never meant for infantry. It fires faster than anything else on the beach. And it ends up in the hands of a man who refuses to accept the word “impossible.”

This is the story of Tony Stein — a former factory worker who turned scrap metal into a weapon, and himself into a one-man army. On the first day of the battle, he charges enemy positions, silences bunkers, runs back and forth under fire to bring ammunition, and carries wounded Marines out of the killing zone. Eight times across a beach that most men believed was a death sentence.

This is not just a story about a battle. It is a story about how engineering, willpower, and refusal to give up can change the course of a fight. About a weapon that was never supposed to exist. And about the man who used it where survival seemed almost impossible.
