Скачать или смотреть Japanese Commanders Trusted the Math — Until Shermans Crawled Out of the Ocean

Japanese commanders calculated everything.
Tides. Weight. Armor. Distance.
The math said American tanks would never reach Tarawa.

They were wrong.

During the Battle of Tarawa (1943), U.S. Marines faced one of the deadliest amphibious assaults of World War II. Japanese defenses were designed with precision — reefs, tides, and kill zones meant to stop any armored advance.

But a handful of M4 Sherman tanks did the impossible.

Crawling out of the ocean under heavy fire, these tanks shattered Japanese assumptions, crushed fortified positions, and changed the outcome of the battle.

This WWII military story reveals:

Why Japanese calculations failed

How Sherman tanks defied tides and terrain

Why Tarawa became a turning point in amphibious warfare

This is not just a battle story.
It’s a lesson in war: when reality ignores the math.
