The ONE Weapon That Made the Tiger Tank AFRAID

#ww2history #wwii #militaryhistory On paper, the Tiger was unkillable. 100 mm of frontal armor. No standard Soviet tank gun could penetrate it at combat range. The 76 mm F-34 maxed out at 75 mm penetration — the math didn't work. So Soviet engineers stopped trying to penetrate it. They bolted a 152 mm fortress gun onto a KV chassis, gave it a 48 kg shell, and called it the SU-152. Germany built 1,347 Tigers across the entire war, each requiring 300,000 man-hours. The Soviets answered with 3,500 Beast Killers assembled from parts that already existed. This is the arithmetic that decided the Eastern Front. Welcome to ‪@ww2.cauldron‬ where we uncover the grit, logistics, and forgotten operations of the Eastern Front. We strip away the mythology to reveal the brutal arithmetic of World War II. In this video, you'll learn why the standard Soviet 76 mm gun was mathematically useless against the Tiger's frontal plate — how Chelyabinsk engineers built a prototype in weeks using only existing components — why the SU-152's high-explosive round could neutralize a Tiger without ever penetrating its armor — and how a gun designed in 1937 to destroy concrete bunkers ended the war blasting through buildings in Berlin.
