On this episode of Drop A Pin, we\u2019re diving into the wildest times Mother Nature called the shots in war. \n\nFirst up, Napoleon thought he could just waltz into Russia in 1812 like, "Cool, we\u2019ll wrap this up by fall." Spoiler: Russian winters had other plans, and dude lost 300,000 troops to frostbite and exile. Same thing happened to Hitler. These guys clearly don\u2019t check the forecast.\n\nThen, good ol\u2019 George Washington was about to get bodied by the British in Brooklyn. But a thick fog rolled in, and boom, he pulled a Houdini, sneaking all 9,000 troops across the East River without so much as a scratch. Brits woke up like, \u201cWhere\u2019d everybody go?\u201d\n\nFinally, during the War of 1812, the Brits were torching D.C. when a freakin\u2019 tornado came in, put out their fires, sank some ships, and even offed a few soldiers. The Brits dipped so fast, they probably felt like the weather gods were out for them.\n\nAnd because we love some weather chat, we\u2019ll finish off with a rundown on hurricanes, flying into storms, and the military\u2019s epic struggle to stay afloat when the weather takes a turn for the insane. \n\nSo buckle up for tornadoes, fog, and the occasional scoop-your-own-poop story from military history.
