🔩 The Unsung Heroes of D-Day:
How A325 Bolts Helped Secure Victory
During WWII, the Allied forces faced an engineering challenge: constructing portable Mulberry Harbors to support the D-Day invasion. These massive, temporary ports needed to hold tanks, trucks, and supplies under extreme conditions. 🚢
When a key prototype joint failed testing, Sergeant Joe Thompson, a Pittsburgh steelworker-turned-soldier, saved the day with a stash of A325 structural bolts. Known for their strength and reliability, these bolts held the harbors together as they endured heavy loads and crashing waves. 🌊 🔩
The result? The Mulberry Harbors played a vital role in securing victory, proving that even the smallest components—like the A325 bolt—can make a massive impact. 🎯
