Patton, 10 miles advance in three months, magnificent!
thanks
The Red Ball Express ran on amphetamines (Benzedrine, aka Bennies). So did the GIs in WWII.
I wonder why the Germans couldn't attack the supply chain, seems like there is another story. (It isn't just about the planes, if the German soldiers could hear the redball express)
Your personal perspective defines your internal moral compass. A black man driving those trucks was directly affecting his ability to directly prosper in the society he was helping to sustain. Your pathetic interpretation is the reason why societies today are stuck in this DEI socialist shit house.
Supplies used, men not killed; cities, towns, villages, and regions not destroyed.
And we repeated it during Desert Storm! I was among the Truckers of DS.
Please provide your source for… "Germans Laughed at Patton's Advance."
75% of the drivers were Americans of African descent!
The Germans with the machine gun is that a us army 30/caliber
The real breakthrough wasn’t the front line, it was the road behind it.
"Amateurs discuss strategy. Professionals discuss logistics".
Nazis are all terrorists.
Sorry i only got a little bit into this before it was too much of a joke.
You can not compare this to Russia, Germany crossed into Russia with 2 million troops, what did the US have?
you had trucks running on nice paved roads in France, multiple paved roads so you could run a one way route system.
Roads in Russia where none existent, and degraded to deep mud at the first rains.
The US route was maybe 250km, the German one was thousands of Km
And last, don't forget that the Russians did logistics for their massive army that pushed back from Moscow to Berlin 1500Km, along the whole front, with crappy roads and horses.
Patton's effort was kids play…
