I did read that it took World War 2 to get out of it

WW2 didn't get us out of the depression, it was more along the lines of the end of WW2 got us out of it. Something like that, all those soldiers returning to the country and all those factories being put into civilian production...

Or maybe it was the death of FDR that did it

it was more along the lines of the end of WW2 got us out of it.

That is what I believe too...
