What happens when a "light tank" meets the most feared heavy tank on the battlefield? In the bitter winter of 1944, Sergeant Joe Cotten and his crew in an M5 Stuart light tank faced an impossible sight: a stranded German King Tiger. With a main gun that was useless and an 88mm cannon now aimed at them, they had one desperate chance—their machine guns.
This is the true, firsthand account of an armored underdog. We dive into the terrifying moment a Stuart crew realized they were shooting at a "Tiger Royal," the split-second decisions that followed, and how the war's most dismissed tank fought back against a giant. This isn't just a story about machines; it's about the courage and quick thinking of the men inside them.
