How the “Inferior” Sherman Tank Won the War Against the Panther

Why did American tank crews prefer their humble Sherman over Germany’s mighty Panther?
This film uncovers the truth behind one of World War II’s most misunderstood rivalries.

Through declassified reports, postwar tests, and frontline combat records, discover why the Panther’s power couldn’t overcome its fatal flaws — from unreliable transmissions to catastrophic final drive failures.

Explore the Battle of Arracourt, where American tactics and teamwork triumphed over superior firepower, and read General Eisenhower’s own wartime correspondence revealing the U.S. Army’s mindset in 1945.

You’ll also see how British, French, Canadian, and Polish engineers tested captured Panthers, and how Israel’s upgraded Shermans continued to fight decades later — proving that wars are won by complete weapon systems, not just specifications.

Based entirely on primary sources including the 1947 French “Le Panther” report, U.S. Army records, and German wartime engineering documents.
A must-watch for tank warfare students, engineers, and World War II enthusiasts.
