Pertempuran Cologne Köln terjadi pada tahun 1945. pertempuran ini begitu terkenal karena cameraman berhasil mendapatkan gambar foto video duel asli antara tank T26E3 M26 Pershing vs Panther Ausf A, termasuk video M4A3 Sherman yang dihancurkan oleh Panther.
Namun akibat insiden kecil, sang juru tembak Pershing kehilangan hak nya untuk mendapatkan medali Bronze Star atas aksi heroiknya di Cologne. Sang penembak juga mengalami mimpi buruk karena menembaki mobil berpenumpang wanita, yang baru Ia ketahui setelah puluhan tahun berlalu.
Atas jerih payah penulis Adam Makos, penembak Pershing akhirnya berkunjung ke Jerman dan menemui penembak Panzer IV yang terlibat duel di Cologne, sekaligus menemui keluarga wanita yang telah ditembak. Namun penembak Pershing tidak berhasil menemui komandan Panther yang menghilang sejak Jerman menyerah. Dan uniknya M26 Pershing AS dikira Panzer atau Tiger II
