What Happened to Britain's WW2 Lend-Lease Trucks After 1945?

In August 1945, one signature in Washington ended Lend-Lease and left Britain with a mountain of American trucks, jeeps and a debt that would take over 60 years to repay. Some of those vehicles were auctioned off, some were driven into the sea, and some were reborn as coal lorries, farm workhorses and even the inspiration for the Land Rover. What really happened to the machines that helped win World War II? Watch to uncover the forgotten story of Britain's Lend-Lease trucks after 1945.
