    The traffic jam created due to the German army in the Ardennes region was 250 km long. If the Allied forces had detected it, World War II could have been different.

    It was 1940 on the French Belgium border. The German troops have assembled the largest mechanized force the world had seen.

    The plan to cross into France through the Ardennes region was a brilliant idea. Still, from a logistics point of view, it was a disaster.

    It created a 250 km long traffic built up in the area, and luckily the French and British didn’t notice it. If the traffic jam were known, the course of World War II would have been different.

    The traffic developed into a 250-kilometer long vehicle chain. French reconnaissance aircraft reported the traffic jam in the Ardennes region to the French High Command. The French High Command rejected the report and claimed it to be false as they still believed that tanks cant cross the Ardennes region

    Worst Traffic Jam Of World War II

    The book “In Harms Way” was fantastic. By Doug Stanton, about her sinking and what the survivors endured.
