Defective Pistons

[John McGillivray]

In the history of 1st SS “The Leibstandarte IV/1” by Rudolf Lehmann and Ralf Tiemann, there are listed five reasons for the supply difficulties that the Allies were experiencing during the later part of 1944. The third reason is as followers:

“1,400 trucks manufactured in Great Britain and intended to bring supplies to Montgomery's troops arrived with defective pistons. With functional trucks, these units could have received an additional eight hundred tonnes of supplies daily.”

Dose anyone know any details about this?
