Discover the untold story of the Red Ball Express—the daring 24/7 truck convoy that defied German generals and fueled General Patton’s lightning advance across France in 1944. While the Wehrmacht mocked American logistics as clumsy and unsustainable, over 23,000 U.S. soldiers—mostly African American drivers—delivered 12,500 tons of fuel, ammo, and supplies daily across 700 miles of war-torn roads. This is the true story of how trucks, not tanks, became America’s secret weapon in World War II. Based on declassified U.S. Army records, veteran accounts, and historical archives.
