Story 2573
Kyiv, Ukraine, May 27, 1944
Another train pulled into the railyard. Within minutes of the engine stopping, chocks on hundreds of trucks were being pulled out from underneath the wheels. Within an hour, the first engine had turned over. Soon a steady line of trucks built in Windsor and Detroit were following a quartet of GAZ derived armored cars.
By the time the convoy of trucks were heading to their staging area, another train arrived with a brigade's worth of factory fresh T-34s. The build-up continued.
