When we think of the land battles of World War 2 we tend to think of a clash between tanks, armoured vehicles and heavy artillery. But to get to the fight you need something that can carry men and materials and the food that fuels their march. And for the Germans, the truck became the secret weapon that changed warfare. From the mountain passes of the Ardennes, across the deserts of Libya and the vast wilderness of Russia, a humble truck enabled the German Army to conduct its lightning war with the speed and efficiency it required. And the key machine in Blitzkrieg was the GM Opel Blitz. This episode tells the story of the Blitz and the American-owned war factories that would produce them, putting business before their country.
