When the French Sixth Army Group couldn't withstand and asked the French General Headquarters for help, there was a relatively serious logistical problem in France.
The Ulk River Front was very important, and the French General Staff urgently assembled an elite division, taking trains to Paris, ready to support the Sixth Army Group.
But the problem was that there were more than 60 kilometers between Paris and the front line, and it would take at least two days to reach the front by foot.
But war waits for no one, and if the Sixth Army Group really had to wait for two days before they could see the reinforcements, the war would probably have already been lost by then.
In order to urgently transport the division to the front, the French General Staff came up with a creative proposal to requisition all the taxicabs in Paris to transport the military.
