World War Two
Published 8 Apr 2022“Bicycling to victory! Soldiers were moved by trucks and trains to the front, transported on the backs of tanks and armoured vehicles into combat. But sometimes they also went by using the good old bicycle. Pedaling over the paved roads of Western Europe and East Asia, specialised bicycle-companies surprised through mobility and independence. Bikes were comparatively cheap to mass produce and did not need fuel nor fodder. So they proved a real alternative to those nations that had to budget their oil resources.”

Join the TimeGhost Army: https://bit.ly/SPECIAL_085_PIWhen many people think about World War Two, they think about trucks, tanks, and aircraft. In reality, the conflict includes many more horses and bicycles. This is a fascinating and crucial aspect of the Second World War, and one that does not receive anywhere near enough attention. Thank you to everyone in the TimeGhost Army that allow us fully cover every aspect of this war.
