The incredible scale of U.S. military production during World War II

The crushing U.S. advantage in military production during World War II may have played an even greater role than tactical superiority or geopolitical skill in allowing the Allies to secure a victory.

People don't understand how close Britain and America was and still are...

Not my original quote, but the 3 main things that the allies used against Germany. From England, intelligence. From the USA, production. From the Soviets, lives.

Admiral Yamamoto had lived in America and he told Japanese planners he would have 6 months before America would swamp them with production.

The USA also commissioned 14 Essex class fleet carriers, major combatants, starting in December 1942, and a considerable number of smaller escort and light carriers. At one point, the US was putting an aircraft carrier into service every three weeks.

US did not scrap its civilian production rather it built its wartime production on top of its civilian production. While there were restrictions in no way was the civilian economy scrapped. Scrapping the civilian production was what the former Soviet Union did with catastrophic results.

[@trevor3013]

Hence why the economy grew and Americans were still buying goods

[@maheshrathod5593]

Now compare this to china.. 😂
