Uncover the hidden history of World War II's deadliest forgotten battlefield: The Green Front. While the world watched the titanic struggles on the Eastern and Western Fronts, a secret war was being fought not with bullets, but with latex, deep within the Amazon rainforest. This is the story of the Allied war machine's most desperate gamble and the 30,000 men who paid the ultimate price. In 1942, with Japan's conquest of Southeast Asia, the Allies lost 90% of their natural rubber supply. Tanks, planes, and jeeps were at risk of grinding to a halt. In a secret deal with Brazil, the United States financed the creation of a "phantom army" to extract "white gold" from the jungle. They were called the Soldados da Borracha—the Rubber Soldiers. Lured by promises of a hero's wage and a patriot's glory, over 55,000 impoverished Brazilians were shipped into the Amazon. But the promises were a lie. Abandoned, without training or medical supplies, they faced an enemy more relentless than any army: malaria, yellow fever, and the jungle itself. Their casualty rate was catastrophic, dwarfing that of Brazil's combat troops in Europe. Join us on PHANTOM FRONTS as we expose one of the great untold tragedies of the war. Learn how a secret deal, crucial for Allied victory, led to the betrayal and sacrifice of an entire generation of forgotten men.
