Supplying Food to a Trapped Battalion by Artillery

The Second World War is home to many ingenious ideas and inventions. During October 1944 in Eastern France, one such idea took place. A US Army Battalion found themselves surrounded by German forces, with US reinforcements unable to assist them and an airdrop of supplies not on the cards and crazy yet clever idea was conjured up to use hollowed out artillery shells stuffed with food and medical supplies. In today's video we look at the US Army supplying food to a trapped Battalion by Artillery during World War Two.
