When a King Tiger Was Rammed by a Sherman

When Lieutenant John Gorman of the 5th Guards Armoured Brigade was riding on board the Ballyragget, near the village of Cagny in Northern France, he was confronted by a group of German tanks including the feared Tiger 1 and the King Tiger. He would later write in his book about the encounter, “It was horror personified.”
Determined to take down the King Tiger but knowing that the gun of his Sherman is near useless against it, Gorman turned to his driver and ordered “Ram it!”

@VinAr Run the 75 Sherman is capable of killing both a Tiger 1 and 2 from the side or back, don't underestimate it.

[@agravemisunderstanding9668]

If your wondering why the tiger crew retreated their turret was probably locked in place by the impact, and its sprocket may have been damaged so the tiger was practically useless. Plus it's armor may have been dislodged making it easier for a tank like the firefly to penetrate the new weak points

[@bens4801]

Remember it was hit by an HE round at point blank too, even if there was no penetration the pressure probably broke some hydraulics and small moving parts needed to turn the turret

[@Blitz_maniac]

@@bens4801 not to mention even if it was operational the tank could not move making it a sitting duck to long range fire from artillery even if there was none you'd prob not take the chance

[@TheNapster153]

You'd also need to consider the sound reverberating throughout the hull. Tankers can go deaf from the sound of a direct impact on the hull, if not then they be heavily disoriented. On top of regular technical faults, its probable the crew thought something was gonna blow and booked it. The disorientation could also probably be why they didn't kill that one Sherman tanker that got lost.

[@thecrab2791]

being a late war german tank, i have no doubt the HE shell could do more than a bit of damage due to the poor metal qaulity

[@hansvonmannschaft9062]

When the Tiger I was fielded, their crews were handpicked from batches of experienced tankers. But when the Tiger II _entered chat_ they also tried to put experienced tankers... but were less easier to find, at least still alive. So young crews were indeed assigned to the latest German technology, Otto Carius lost a Jagdtiger in his platoon to an extremely inexperienced commander, for example. Thus, if many times the simple ricochets were beyond the nervewracking treshold of the crew, imagine a relatively inexperienced group of young men hit by a 30+ ton "round" 😂

Just one thing I noticed. The turret is wrong. From the accounts I remember, the tank used the Turret with rounded cheeks. rather then the one displayed which has flat cheeks. Otherwise wonderful.

[@doogleticker5183]

Early models used the rounded Krupp turret (it is an error to call it a Porsche turret). It was replaced with another Krupp model turret (less rounded) erroneously called the Henschel turret.

Can't wait for Sabaton to make a song about this! Y'all's videos keep getting better every time! I think I've learned more war history from this channel alone than all of my history textbooks combined!

Sabaton tends to not make songs about shitty lies that are disproven by photos of the aftermath of the incident.

The Sherman versus the Konig Tigers is like a fly against an elephant.

[@huntermoen7292]

The 35 ton Sherman was useful against the tiger and panzers cuz it could maneuver easily and it has a top speed of 105 mph

[@mr9263]

the Sherman firefly could knock out a tiger 2 with it gun from reasonable range, I don't think they installed jet engines on these tanks lol, the top speed of the Sherman was around 46 km/h (29 mph)

The first moment, I started thinking, "Why the hell am I watching War Thunder?" Turns out 10 minutes of this is better than an hour of playing War Thunder.

[@igameidoresearchtoo6511]

10 minutes is better than not playing war thunder (war thunder is negative fun, playing it results in lower fun).

Evil will not dominate while men like Gorman and his crew are willing to stand up and be counted. The ram against such a heavy tank is close to suicidal. The fact that Gorman kept on fighting, until compassion for a fallen comrade moved him says so much about his character.

It is true that tigers had a lot of mechanical problems and were often abandoned or easily destroyed because they broke down. But in battle these problems didn't make a difference for the allies, both tigers were a nightmare even if you were in a tank that could out maneuver it. Now imagine seeing a tiger II and a Tiger I at the same spot, it's something you'd only hope to see in a dream.

[@tdcg_shad0w20]

Or a nightmare

Military History Visualised does a good touch on this topic as well I'd say. Ther German tanks were effective when handled with care. It was just that the effectiveness was too good such that the enemy never bothered for a fair fight. Hence, why these heavy tanks often broke down before they ever saw combat. Simply put, they were forced to pursue the enemy when they were clearly designed for head-on engagements. It sounds the same when from a practical standpoint its far too different.

[@benjammin3381]

This was true for many tanks, not just tigers. T-34 for instance broke down more often than the tiger did. Ofc, you never hear about it since its meta to criticize the big cats.
