They Tried to Court-Martial Him for Stealing Steel — Then His Invention Won WWII

July 13, 1944. Sergeant Curtis Culin watched his friend burn alive in a Sherman tank. The hedgerows of Normandy were killing 200 Americans every day. Every tank that tried to cross exposed its belly armor. Every crew that tried became a crematorium. That night, Culin stole 300 pounds of German beach obstacles and built something that would change the war. When his captain found out, he almost had Culin court-martialed. Then they tested it. Five seconds. That's how long it took to cut through a hedgerow that had stopped the entire First Army for seven weeks. Three weeks later, 500 rhino-equipped tanks smashed through German lines in Operation Cobra. Patton's Third Army raced 250 miles in two weeks. France was liberated. Germany lost the war. Eisenhower called it the most important invention of WWII. Culin called it "just doing his job." He died in 1963. His obituary never mentioned he saved 10,000 lives. #WWII #Normandy #DDay #OperationCobra #Sherman #Patton #Eisenhower #UntoldHistory #AmericanHeroes #MilitaryHistory #TankWarfare #Innovation #CurtinCulin #RhinoTank #Bocage
