Operation Pluto Pipeline On French Coast

In 1942, British engineers conceived a seemingly impossible plan to build a pipeline under the sea to supply oil and gasoline to an army fighting miles away. Despite expert skepticism, the plan became a reality. Ships laid steel drums and cables across the channel, achieving the impossible. Within hours, the pipeline reached Cherbourg beaches, ready to supply oil to the advancing armies in France.
