How 50,000 Gallons of Free Fuel Doomed Hitler's Elite Panzer Division

Video Description

During the Battle of the Bulge, German Colonel Joachim Peiper captured 50,000 gallons of US fuel and realized WWII was over. His Kampfgruppe Peiper, the spearhead of the Ardennes Offensive, was running on empty when they found an American supply depot. This single discovery exposed the fatal weakness of the entire German war machine against America's overwhelming industrial and logistical might. This history documentary uses military records and eyewitness accounts to detail how American abundance in fuel, oil, and supplies crushed Germany's tactical expertise. See why even the most advanced German tanks were no match for an enemy that considered 50,000 gallons of gasoline a rounding error. This is the story of how logistics, not battles, truly won World War II in the West. #WW2History #BattleoftheBulge #JoachimPeiper #MilitaryDocumentary #Ardennes
