Его M10 остановила две «Пантеры»

On July 11, 1944, near St. Jean-de-Daye and Le Dézert, an M10 tank destroyer crew from the 899th Tank Destroyer Battalion faced Panther tanks in the claustrophobic Normandy bocage. This documentary reconstructs how concealment, short firing lanes, flank shots, the M10’s 3-inch gun, thin armor, open turret, and manual traverse shaped a deadly close-range armored fight—and why the third Panther changed the geometry of the engagement by firing back at the American position. Beyond a single crew’s actions, the story explores how U.S. tank destroyers adapted to hedgerow terrain where mobility was limited, every shot risked exposing a firing point, and positioning could matter as much as armor and firepower.
