T.M.A.P.C. trucks traveled 1,200,000,000 km in 12 months, across Europe, and transported 1,765,000 tons (metric) of goods.
They served many liberated countries: France, but also Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Italy, Poland, Czechoslovakia.
But they also had to repatriate, from April 1945, prisoners of war, deportees, displaced populations, recovered objects stolen by the Nazis, etc ... and transported, exceptionally, soldiers to the front lines, as in Bastogne during the Ardennes counterattack.
From separate formation, M.T.C. and F.T.G. had a different aspect.
The men of M.T.C., trained and dressed by the British, have acquired this meticulous method and this rigorous correction which characterizes them.
The men of the F.T.G., trained and dressed by the Americans, adapted to the dynamic processes and the relaxed allure of the G.I.
