In 1941, Allied soldiers were dying by the thousands — their rifles useless against German tanks.
Then a Swiss engineer named Henry Mohaupt changed everything with one reckless idea.
He dared to cut spiral grooves into a rocket tube — a simple act of rifling that every expert called “dangerous, impossible, and insane.”
But that idea would turn a weapon that missed four out of ten shots into one that hit every time — a weapon that could punch through eight inches of Panzer armor and make foot soldiers tank killers.
This is the forgotten true story of how a civilian engineer out-thought military bureaucracy, defied orders, and created the rifled bazooka — the weapon that saved thousands of Allied lives and reshaped warfare forever.
From the deserts of North Africa to the ruins of Italy, from secret Pentagon battles to the birth of modern anti-tank doctrine — witness how one man’s “reckless” modification became the foundation of every rocket launcher on Earth.
