The Engineer Who Invented Shaped Charges in His Garage (Changed Tank Warfare)

1938. A garage in Switzerland. An engineer named Henry Mohaupt is working with high explosives and copper cones, trying to weaponize physics that most people don't understand. The Munroe Effect. When you shape an explosive correctly, it creates a jet of superheated metal traveling at 25,000 feet per second. Fast enough to punch through four inches of solid steel. Mohaupt is about to give infantry soldiers the power to destroy tanks. Before Mohaupt's shaped charges, soldiers carried rifles against armored vehicles and prayed artillery would arrive in time. After shaped charges, every infantryman could kill tanks. The M1 bazooka, built on Mohaupt's design, entered service in 1942. Two men with a tube launcher could knock out a 50 ton Panzer from 200 yards. The Germans called it the most terrifying infantry weapon they faced. Not because it was complicated. Because it worked. The physics was simple but revolutionary. The shaped charge created a focused jet that didn't care how thick the armor was. American factories produced 476,000 bazookas during WW2. Every theater received them. German tank tactics had to change completely. Panzer crews suddenly feared infantry at ranges where they thought they had superiority. One garage inventor forced the world's most powerful armies to rewrite their manuals. The technology spread globally. Every modern anti-tank weapon from RPGs to guided missiles still uses Mohaupt's shaped charge principle. This is the story of the forgotten engineer who changed tank warfare forever. This episode uses AI generated narration for consistent storytelling. Due to limited original footage of Mohaupt's development work, some images are recreated using AI for educational purposes. All events, penetration data, and production numbers verified through U.S. Army Ordnance records, Mohaupt's patents, and German Wehrmacht tactical documents.
