Скачать или смотреть German POWs Laughed At Patton’s Traffic Jam... Until It Broke Them In 6 Hours

In August 1944, German prisoners thought the American army was a joke. General George S. Patton didn't argue with them. He didn't interrogate them. He simply forced them to watch a "traffic jam" that lasted for six hours.

By the time the last truck rolled past, the prisoners realized a terrifying truth: the war was mathematically unwinable.

This video uncovers General Patton's most brilliant—and controversial—psychological warfare tactic. While standard Allied protocol was to hide military strength, Patton ordered his MPs to line German POWs up along the supply routes of the Third Army.

What followed was a display of industrial power so overwhelming that it shattered the Wehrmacht's worldview. They saw thousands of M4 Sherman tanks, endless fuel trucks, and casual air superiority that proved Nazi propaganda was a lie. This wasn't a battle; it was an industrial operation that just happened to involve combat.
Discover how this "illegal" roadside show extracted more intelligence than torture, stopped escape attempts cold, and broke the German will to fight without firing a single shot.
