January 12, 1945. German Panzer crews thought they were safe at 2,100 meters. They were wrong.
This is the story of the SU-100 – the classified Soviet tank destroyer that turned the tide of the Eastern Front in the final months of World War II. Armed with the devastating 100mm D-10S gun, this low-profile killer could penetrate any German armor at ranges the Wehrmacht thought impossible.
From the frozen fields of Poland to the ruins of Berlin, the SU-100 operated in deadly ambushes that destroyed over 2,100 German tanks. Panthers, Tigers, and King Tigers – all fell to this silent executioner that German tankers came to call “Stalin’s Hammer.”
Discover how Soviet engineers created a weapon that democratized armor-killing capability, how crews used it with surgical precision, and why its legacy shaped Cold War tank doctrine for decades.
