American war production proved astonishing. At the huge Willow Run plant in Michigan, the greatest generation turned out a B-24 heavy bomber every hour. A single shipyard could mass-produce an ocean-going Liberty merchant ship from scratch in a week. ///

It’s almost silly to be able to produce a ship a week. Were it not history, I would not believe it. The rest of the story is even more amazing.

A lot has been made that the Russians fought 120 divisions and we fought 80, and the crack troops went to Russia.

This story puts things in perspective, and gives the impression that Russia was doomed without US aid.
