A very interesting video produced by Ed Webster from the Armoured Archives. This video was originally posted on his channel and kindly permitted to be reposted on our channel.
In 1947, the British done tests to HESH (High Explosive Squash Head) rounds, with the target being a pre-production Tiger II. The video also looks into how these rounds work.
The 6.5-inch HEHS round, then known as Wallbursters and later just Squash Heads were tested to see if they would be effective versus newer Soviet tanks.
