The Secret WWII Pipeline the Germans Never Saw Coming

Описание: During World War II, the Allies pulled off one of the most daring and underestimated engineering feats in military history — Operation PLUTO (Pipeline Under The Ocean). This top-secret mission laid over 1,200 miles of fuel pipeline across Europe, starting under the English Channel and extending deep into France.

German intelligence never suspected such an extensive fuel supply network was operating right under their noses — and by the time they realized, it was too late.

🎯 In this video, we explore:
• How Allied forces built an undersea pipeline during wartime
• Why German officers underestimated American and British logistics
• The surprising role Operation PLUTO played in the success of the D-Day invasion
• The incredible innovation behind WWII fuel logistics
• How this hidden pipeline helped push the Allies toward victory
