Why did a US soldier put German jet wheels on an American truck?

Описание: In November 1944, the US Army faced an enemy stronger than the Wehrmacht: "General Mud". Deep in the Hürtgen Forest, a vital supply convoy destined for the 101st Airborne was completely paralyzed, sinking into the earth. With standard equipment failing and the "Old Mule" GMC truck dying in the sludge, Technical Sergeant Sal Rossi decided to throw away the rulebook.

This story follows two desperate mechanics who deserted their convoy to scavenge a ghost airfield for a miracle. Discover the incredible moment a US soldier cut the landing gear off a high-tech German Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter and welded it onto a standard American transport truck.

Why would he do this? Because while American tires sliced through the mud like pizza cutters, the massive German jet tires were designed to float. Witness the birth of the "Frankenstein" truck—a vehicle that defied military regulations and physics to surf over the mud and save the day.#usarmy #wwii #militaryhistory #engineering #warstories #history #mechanic #gmc
