What if the engine of Patton’s thunderous advance wasn’t steel at all—but rubber, sweat, and courage? In August 1944, as Jodl peered over maps at the Wolfsschanze, German staff did a cold calculation: distance plus consumption equals collapse. They were right—unless someone could outrun arithmetic. This film uncovers the unsung convoys that did just that, the Black drivers of the Red Ball Express who kept Third Army fueled, fed, and moving despite mud, fire, and a nation that often refused them a seat at the table. 🎖️
Through archival footage, frontline diaries, and clear explainers, we follow night runs through shattered French roads, decode how gallons-per-mile and ton-miles really worked, and meet mechanics, dispatchers, and MPs who turned chaos into momentum. We examine segregation, valor, and innovation side by side—convoy discipline, maintenance tricks, camouflage, and the cat-and-mouse with Luftwaffe strafers—all grounded in maps and primary documents 📜🌍. If you care about how wars are won, this is the story behind the headlines and the heroics. Stay to the end for a reckoning with memory and recognition—and let us know what surprised you most.
