Germans Never Expected the Sherman’s New Rounds Cut Through Panthers

September 19, 1944—fog drapes the fields of Lorraine as Sherman crews from the 37th Tank Battalion brace for Panthers they’ve been told are invincible. What the Germans didn’t expect: six tungsten-cored M93 HVAP rounds in each 76mm Sherman. Born in American labs and rationed by a global tungsten shortage, these high-velocity shells shattered the myth of Panther invulnerability at Arracourt and rewired the psychology of tank combat. This documentary traces the science, logistics, and battlefield decisions that turned a “good enough” tank into a credible Panther-killer—then follows the legacy through the Bulge, Germany’s crumbling industry, and Korea’s Easy Eights to modern APFSDS. No new tank—just smarter ammunition, better training, and industrial will.
