When the Allies broke through Normandy in 1944, victory seemed certain—until General Patton’s army ran out of fuel. With tanks stranded and supply losses climbing above 20%, it looked like the German army might regroup. Then, a truck driver from Pittsburgh—Technical Sergeant Raymond Kowalski—changed everything.
This is the unbelievable true story of the Red Ball Express, the lifeline that kept the Allied advance alive. Discover how Kowalski’s so-called “ridiculous” convoy method shattered military tradition, cut supply losses by 90%, and became the foundation for modern logistics used by Amazon and the U.S. Army today.
From burned-out roads in France to the battle maps of Eisenhower’s headquarters, this cinematic documentary uncovers how one forgotten man’s idea helped win the war—and transformed how the world moves goods forever.
