Tonight, we climb inside the steel coffin that was a WWII tank — not as a general, not as a hero, but as a nameless crewman choking on diesel and waiting to die. From brutal training grounds to the suffocating stink of combat, from broken radios to broken minds, this is the story behind the myth. The tanks didn’t win the war. The men inside them just survived long enough to be forgotten.

If you're still awake by the end, thanks for enduring the mud, the fire, and the fumes with us.
