Скачать или смотреть How The American Jeep Did What No German Vehicle Could In Every Theater

Discover the incredible true story of the Willys MB Jeep, the quarter ton vehicle that became America's greatest contribution to modern warfare during World War Two. This full length documentary explores how a small, bankrupt car company and a freelance engineer paid just two hundred dollars created a machine that outperformed every German vehicle across all theaters of the war. From the daring SAS raids across the North African desert to the beaches of Normandy on D Day, from the jungles of Guadalcanal to the frozen forests of the Ardennes during the Battle of the Bulge, the American Jeep proved itself as the most versatile military vehicle ever built. Learn how the sixty horsepower Go Devil engine and four wheel drive system gave Allied forces a decisive advantage over the German Kubelwagen, why General Eisenhower ranked the Jeep among the four most vital pieces of equipment for victory, and how over six hundred forty thousand Jeeps were produced at a rate of one every ninety seconds. This documentary covers the Jeep's role in Operation Greif, Lend Lease shipments to the Soviet Union, the famous Old Faithful Jeep that received a symbolic Purple Heart on Guadalcanal, and how this legendary vehicle inspired the Land Rover and changed automotive history forever. Experience the complete history of the vehicle that generals rode and privates depended on, the faithful workhorse that helped win the war.
