During World War II, German Panzer crews became used to destroying Sherman tanks with a single, well-placed shot. Early Shermans burned quickly after penetration, earning the infamous nickname “Ronson Lighters.” But everything changed when the U.S. introduced a revolutionary upgrade: the Wet Storage ammunition system.
This documentary explains how a simple redesign inside the Sherman completely transformed its survivability, reduced ammunition fires by more than 75%, and shocked German tank crews who suddenly discovered that their usual tactics no longer worked.
Through real battlefield stories from Normandy, Operation Cobra, and the Lorraine campaign, this video explores how Wet Storage reshaped armored warfare and helped American crews survive hits that would have previously been fatal. From technical engineering tests to German after-action reports, we uncover how a small innovation became one of the most underrated game-changers of WWII.
If you love deep, historically accurate tank documentaries and untold wartime innovations, this video is for you.
