Скачать или смотреть Germans Mocked American Ice Cream, Until 80 Million Gallons Reached The Front

In August 1945, a German naval officer in Tokyo read an intelligence report that changed his understanding of the war. It wasn't about a bomb. It was about a concrete barge dedicated entirely to ice cream.
This is the story of the "Barge, Refrigerated, Large" (BRL)—a floating factory commissioned by the US Navy in the final year of World War II. While the Kriegsmarine struggled to fuel its ships and feed its sailors, the United States dedicated $1 million (approx. $17 million today) to build concrete vessels capable of producing 10 gallons of ice cream every seven minutes for the Pacific Fleet.
