Why Did These WWII Soldiers Fight German Tanks with a Water Hose?

In the freezing mud of the Hürtgen Forest, standard weapons were useless. But one American squad refused to retreat.

It is November 1944. The Siegfried Line is impenetrable. American tanks are sinking in the mud, and flamethrowers can't get close enough to the German pillboxes. Facing a "Death Factory" where the trees themselves seemed to explode , Sergeant Clay Taggart realizes that fire has no mass, but water has the power of a hammer.

Join us for this legendary World War II tale of ingenuity under fire. Watch how Taggart and his mechanic genius, Corporal Bubba Jefferson, scavenge a scrapyard to build a miracle. They transform a broken 40-ton M25 Dragon Wagon into the "Poseidon"—a hydraulic siege engine designed to wash the enemy off the face of the earth.

From cutting through brick walls with industrial pressure to turning frozen roads into ice traps for German Panzers during the Battle of the Bulge, this is the story of the "Firetruck from Hell". #wwii #militaryhistory #M25DragonWagon #worldwar2 #warstories #battleofthebulge #usarmy #tankhistory #poseidon
