S1E14 - Rise of the Tank Killers Pt.2: "A Weapon to Stop a Monster"
Update: 2025-07-27
Description
As Allied tanks grew bolder in the final years of World War I, Germany responded with something new: a weapon built for one purpose—killing tanks. In this episode, we dive into the development and deployment of the Mauser Tankgewehr M1918, the world’s first purpose-built anti-tank rifle. We also explore the rise of armor-piercing ammunition, improvised gun conversions, and the evolving defensive doctrines that sought to counter the growing armored threat. This is the story of how science and desperation shaped the battlefield.
