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. 🛏️ Drowsy Historian’s Favorite Sleep Tools Looking to upgrade your nighttime routine?
