Скачать или смотреть They Mocked His ‘Inferno Bolt’ Bow — Until It Torched 9 Guards in a Single Burst

March 14, 1945. 127 American airmen sat in a Nazi prison camp, condemned to execution at dawn. German intelligence had discovered their escape plan. The SS would arrive in less than seven hours.
200 yards away, Corporal Vincent Russo crouched in freezing mud, gripping a weapon that defied every rule of modern warfare. A homemade incendiary bow. Bolts tipped with white phosphorus and thermite, burning at 4,000 degrees. Silent. Lethal. Impossible.
Army officers called it insane. They said medieval weapons had no place on a 20th-century battlefield. They said one man couldn't infiltrate a fortress camp defended by nine guard towers, three electrified fences, and 200 SS soldiers.
They were wrong.
In the next ninety minutes, Russo would prove that innovation beats convention. That a Pittsburgh forge worker armed with physics and determination could accomplish what entire companies couldn't. Nine guards would fall to burning arrows they never saw coming. And 127 condemned men would live to see morning.
This is the story of the most unconventional rescue mission in WWII history.
