YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Bagging 5 Panther tanks with just 5 shots, Sgt Wilf Harris showed that the Sherman Firefly could take on the best the Germans had to offer – and that British tank crews were just as good as their German equivalents.

Set in Normandy in 1944, World War Two historian John Delaney presents a fascinating story from history that deserves to be better known.
