Скачать или смотреть Red Ball Express: The Logistics Weapon That Defeated Germany (WW2)

The Red Ball Express—the supply operation dubbed the "Ultimate American Weapon" of World War II. Why were German generals so convinced that General Patton’s advance would stall and collapse from logistical failure, and why did it never happen?

The answer lies with 23,000 drivers (75% of whom were African-American soldiers) who operated 6,000 trucks non-stop, delivering over 412,000 tons of supplies. This is the incredible story of how Industrial Logistics defeated traditional military doctrine!
