MOST DEADLY: German War Trains WW2 - Forgotten History

During WW II the Allies were in the process of planning their strategic target prioritization. During the Casablanca Conference in January 1943, they devised what became known as the Pointblank Directive. This placed all primary targets in German occupied Europe according to priority, such as aircraft industry, shipbuilding ports, U-boat pens, petroleum, and rail networks including marshalling yards. Trains were a primary target, as they moved materiel and troops and were given priority for tactical fighter bombing and strafing. But Germany had a plan to combat the allies and protect their trains. Written and Hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.
