Re: Truck assembly Europe 1944
Thanks for posting the film.
It looked like fun but probably was hard work due to the urgency to get these trucks on the road. A lot of detail went into the reassembly of those vehicles.
Did anyone notice that the treads were sometimes mixed and did anyone notice the radiator being tossed into the trolley? I'll bet that didn't go on for long.It must have been rewarding to hear a truck start for the first time and to drive it off.

They got up to 50 trucks a day if I remember right. I was not real sure what vehicles they were assembling.
