Red Ball Express background

Red Ball Express

Military truck drivers played a crucial role in World War II, transporting vital resources and equipment to maintain Allied armies' supply lines across Europe.

The Red Ball Express, a elite military truck route, was established in August 1944 to supply Patton's Third Army as it advanced towards Paris. Despite the challenges of private enmities, bypassed enemy pockets, and minefields, the racially integrated platoon of the Red Ball Express persevered, completing increasingly perilous missions with a touch of humor.
