Combat Garage

On the battlefields of World War II, nothing embodied the sheer power and strength of the American Army more than the M4 Sherman tank.

In this exciting program, join HARDCORE HISTORY restoration crews as they apply their modern-day ingenuity to bring two M4 tanks back to life. As part of the project, the crews will pull out one of the tanks’ vintage Ford V-8 engines, figure out how it was built, rebuild it, and then fire it up. Featuring historical stock footage, veteran insights, and state-of-the-art computer graphics, learn how this powerhouse of a machine spearheaded the armored juggernaut that pushed the Germans out of North Africa, Italy, and France, and explore its strengths, weaknesses, and remarkable battle history.

From heroic machine to potential death trap, COMBAT GARAGE gets up close and personal with one of the most famous vehicles in military history.
