Why Build a Vehicle That Hurts to Touch?

In the frozen silence of the Ardennes Forest in December 1944, the silence is more terrifying than the roar of engines. American supply lines are being bled dry, not by artillery, but by a terrifying new tactic: German Fallschirmjäger (paratroopers) dropping from the trees to board and hijack Allied convoys.

For Sergeant Thomas Wright, an engineer turned soldier, the standard issue GMC CCKW truck is no longer a transport vehicle—it’s a "tomb on wheels". With the 101st Airborne at Bastogne desperate for ammunition and his fellow drivers being picked off one by one, Wright realizes that standard defense is failing.

The solution? A violation of every Army regulation in the book. Using scavenged railroad tracks and razor-sharp concertina wire, Wright transforms the "Jimmy" into a denial-of-access system. They call it The Porcupine—a vehicle designed not just to protect the cargo, but to weaponize the truck itself against anyone who dares to touch it.

Join us for this immersive historical narrative about innovation born from desperation, where the only way to survive the Ghost Front is to turn a machine of mercy into a monster of steel and thorns. #wwii #battleofthebulge #militaryhistory #warstories #GMCCCKW #engineering #survival #historicalfiction
