Discover the brutal truth behind one of World War II’s most overlooked advantages: America fed its soldiers nearly twice as well as Germany could. When German troops captured U.S. supply depots at Kasserine Pass in 1943, they were stunned to find American soldiers eating 3,400–4,100 calories a day—fresh food, full-strength K-rations, and even ice cream delivered straight to the front.
Meanwhile, German forces were surviving on barely 1,500–1,800 calories, often made from low-quality substitutes that led to malnutrition, rapid weight loss, and collapsing combat performance across North Africa, the Eastern Front, and Western Europe.
The difference was so extreme that German POWs in American camps routinely gained 40–50 pounds eating the same 3,200-calorie rations as U.S. troops. And during the Battle of the Bulge, Germany’s entire offensive fell apart because its soldiers lacked food and fuel, while America’s supply lines never stopped.
Based entirely on verified historical records, captured documents, and post-war reports, this documentary exposes how the war was shaped not just by firepower, but by logistics—and how America’s ability to feed its army became one of the most decisive advantages of World War II.
