Скачать или смотреть The "Frankenstein" Weapon Crews Feared More Than The Enemy: The T34 Calliope

July 1944. The US Army needed a sledgehammer to break the Normandy stalemate. Their solution? Strap 60 unarmored aircraft rockets to the top of a Sherman Tank and call it the "Calliope." It was an engineering nightmare that turned the tank into a mobile artillery battery—but it came with a deadly flaw.

In this WWII documentary, we uncover the true story of the T34 Calliope. From the desperate hedgerow battles of the Bocage to the crossing of the Rhine, witness how American engineers built an "impossible" field modification. Discover how this "Pipe Organ of Death" could erase a grid coordinate in 30 seconds, why crews called it a "suicide" mission, and the terrifying "Panic Button" mechanism they had to use to survive.
