Скачать или смотреть What Happened to Britain’s Lend-Lease Military Trucks After WW2

During World War II, Britain relied heavily on American-built military trucks supplied through the Lend-Lease program. These vehicles formed the backbone of British logistics, moving fuel, ammunition, food, and troops across North Africa, Italy, and Northwest Europe.

But when the war ended in 1945, these trucks did not simply remain in service.

This documentary explores what happened to Britain’s Lend-Lease transport fleet after World War II. It examines how hundreds of thousands of American trucks were accounted for, returned, scrapped, sold, or absorbed into Britain’s struggling postwar economy. Using postwar reports, logistics records, and Allied investigations, the film traces the quiet fate of vehicles that carried Britain through six years of global war.

From emergency negotiations with the United States to mass scrapping operations across Europe and the Commonwealth, this story reveals how victory was followed by financial reality—and how wartime dependency shaped Britain’s postwar recovery.

A detailed examination of logistics, economics, and military planning at the end of the Second World War.
