The US Army Faced a Kill Zone — So a Mechanic Turned a Jeep into a Moving Smoke Screen

Описание: It is 1944 in Saint-Céneri, France. The men of Baker Company are checkmated. Trapped in a stone village with a German sniper in the bell tower and a Panzer tank closing in, their escape route is cut off. They have no artillery support, no smoke grenades, and no time.

But they have Sergeant Clay "Sparky" Mitchell.

While the rest of the squad prepares for the end, Clay is lying under a battered Willys Jeep known as the "Iron Mule," armed with nothing but a wrench and a desperate idea. His plan? To rig the Jeep's engine to inject raw diesel fuel directly into the superheated exhaust manifold.

In this true-to-life combat story, witness how American ingenuity turned a standard transport vehicle into a moving wall of white fog. From the tension of drilling into a hot engine block while dodging mortar fire to the heart-stopping final run against a German tank, this is the story of how a mechanic saved his squad when weapons couldn't. #wwii #militaryhistory #jeep #warstories #mechanicstories #usarmy #1944 #tanks #history #ingenuity
