They Laughed at One Loader's Ridiculous Mirror — Until His Sherman Killed 3 Panzers in 4 Minutes

The Mirror That Killed 87 Panthers – The Forgotten Sherman Tank Hack That Broke the Dead Zone.
September 17, 1944. A 22-year-old loader with zero gunnery training picks up a cracked shaving mirror inside a battered Sherman and accidentally discovers the one hack that solves the Sherman’s deadly “dead zone” problem at close range.
In four minutes he knocks out three German tanks everyone thought were invincible from the front.
Within 24 hours his desperate trick spreads across the entire 4th Armored Division.
Within a week the Germans are targeting the mirrors themselves.
This is the true story of Private Eddie Kowalsski and the mirror innovation that produced the best kill ratio of any American armored unit in WWII — then vanished from history for 60 years.
Based on declassified after-action reports, veteran interviews, and the original National Archives documents.
