America’s Crudest Locomotive That Carried an Army Into Germany

Описание: In late 1944, the Allies were winning every major battle in Western Europe—and still close to losing the war.
The problem wasn’t German resistance.
It was logistics.
As Allied armies raced across France, supply lines stretched beyond breaking point. Trucks burned fuel just to deliver fuel. Ammunition was rationed. Entire armored units stalled not because they were defeated, but because they couldn’t be fed.
The solution didn’t come from better tactics or advanced technology. It came from one of the crudest machines America ever built: a disposable steam locomotive designed to be used briefly, repaired poorly, and thrown away.
This video reveals how that ugly, mass-produced locomotive rebuilt Europe’s shattered railways, crushed the Allied supply crisis, and carried an entire army into Germany. It’s the forgotten story of how logistics—not weapons—decided the final campaign of World War II.
