November 12th, 1944. Northern Luzon. One Japanese commander. A column of "soft" targets. 90 seconds of hell.
Technical Sergeant Hank Bauer was just a mechanic from Detroit, but he possessed a genius born of desperation. He was tired of watching his friends die in open half-tracks while waiting for artillery support. The Army doctrine said it was impossible to mount heavy aircraft rockets on ground vehicles. Bauer didn't listen.
What he built in a muddy motor pool became a nightmare for the enemy.
Using salvaged rails and a welder’s torch, Bauer created the "Thunder Wagon." When he pulled the trigger, the jungle erupted. Six rockets. Three seconds. Total devastation. The Japanese called it Kaminari no basha—vehicles that vomited fire like dragons. Defensive lines vanished instantly before a single infantryman dismounted.
Zero American casualties. An entire enemy company neutralized. One mechanic’s refusal to accept the status quo.
This is the forgotten story of the "Zippo Wagons," the improvised weapon system that terrified an empire and saved countless American lives. Discover how one soldier’s ingenuity turned a transport truck into the deadliest weapon in the Pacific.
Watch till the end—the footage is unbelievable.
