May 1940: Britain faced invasion with barely enough steel to build tanks. The solution? Melt down 20,000 miles of railway tracks and transform them into armor plating. This is the incredible true story of how Sheffield's steelworkers performed a metallurgical miracle—forging tank armor from tramway rails and Victorian-era railway tracks. Discover how metallurgist Harold Moore cracked the code to transform civilian infrastructure into military protection, how women worked grueling shifts in forge halls reaching 850°C, and how this desperate gamble produced over 8,000 tanks that helped save Britain from Nazi invasion. From the shocking success at Arras to the D-Day beaches of Normandy, this forgotten innovation changed the course of World War II.
