In the winter of 1944, a group of elite Waffen-SS soldiers thought they were hunting easy prey at a Belgian crossroads. They were wrong. Instead of a standard supply convoy, they encountered a mechanical nightmare: the "Devil Truck."
By welding a massive 3-inch US Navy destroyer gun onto the chassis of a standard GMC delivery truck, American engineers created one of the most terrifying field modifications in military history. This video dives into the untold story of the Navy gunners who fought on land, the industrial might of the "Arsenal of Democracy," and how an unassuming cargo truck brought the firepower of the Pacific Fleet to the Ardennes forest.
