In August 1944, General Patton’s Third Army was achieving a “spectacular, terrible success” — and grinding to a halt.

The problem wasn’t the Germans. It was gasoline.

Facing a logistical nightmare—with ports wrecked and railways destroyed—the Allies launched a desperate solution: The Red Ball Express.

Their plan was simple but insane — a 400-mile, one-way convoy loop running 24/7 to keep Patton’s tanks alive.

Over 23,000 men, nearly 75% African-American soldiers, drove through sniper fire, exhaustion, and chaos — keeping the war moving when everything was at risk.

This is the incredible true story of the Red Ball Express — the convoy that refused to stop.
