Why Tough American Generals 'Stole' German Jeeps and Refused to Give Them Back

Why Tough American Generals 'Stole' German Jeeps and Refused to Give Them Back. Here is the part that still puzzles historians: battle-hardened American soldiers, sitting on rivers of their own equipment, kept trading two of their prized jeeps just to get one captured German bucket car, and even their own generals could not make them give the German Jeeps back. What did those men feel behind that thin steering wheel that no official report was ever willing to admit? Would you have handed yours over, or hidden it from inspection like they did? If your father or grandfather served in the war, did he ever mention the strange enemy machines they brought back or fought to keep? Drop your take in the comments and tell us honestly: would you have kept the German Jeeps too?
