The M25 Dragon Wagon — The Giant That Carried WW2 on Its Back

In the shadows of the Second World War’s battlefields, one machine quietly held the entire Allied advance together. The M25 Tank Transporter, known to soldiers as the Dragon Wagon, was no weapon but a saviour — hauling crippled tanks, clearing the roads of Europe, and proving that endurance could win wars where firepower could not. Built by Pacific Car and Foundry, powered by the mighty Hall-Scott 440 engine, it became the uncelebrated backbone of victory. This documentary explores the design, testing, and legacy of the M25 system — a colossus that bridged destruction and recovery. Discover how a machine built to serve became a legend of resilience and engineering. #history #worldwar2history #wwii #ww2history #ww2tales #military #worldwar #warmachines #worldwartwo #militaryhistory #militarytrucks #dragonwagon #m26 #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2engineering #m25dragonwagon #americantrucks #americanengineering #americanvehicles #ustrucking #ww2trucks #ww2ustrucks #wwiitrucks #worldwar2stories #worldwarii #M25transporter #M15A1trailer #WorldWarIIdocumentary #wwiiengineering #usarmy #ww2vehicles #m26dragonwagon Images: M26 tractor of the 464th Ordnance Evacuation Company – U.S. Army, 1944, Wikimedia Commons – Public Domain The British Army in Normandy 1944 B8741 – War Office, Wikimedia Commons – Public Domain Tank Recovery in Bourguebus B8910 – War Office, Wikimedia Commons – Public Domain Tanks are disembarked at Cherbourg – U.S. Army Signal Corps, Wikimedia Commons – Public Domain SC 196105-S near Nancy, France (1944) – U.S. Army Signal Corps, Wikimedia Commons – Public Domain Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf B Königstiger 2 – Bundesarchiv, Wikimedia Commons – CC BY-SA 3.0 TM 9-2800 Semitrailer 45-ton 8-wheel M15A1 – U.S. War Department, Wikimedia Commons – Public Domain M26 tractor 194409 – U.S. Army, Wikimedia Commons – Public Domain SC 196107-S Pvt.
