and theres one other thing that you wont hear dicussed,and one of the very greatest myths of the war. We hear all the time that US factories switched to war production for PATRIOTIC reasons. Absolutly NOTHING could be farther from the truth!factories in the US switched purely for monetary reasons. they simply could make more money building war goods than the could making cars,sewing machines etc. if they could build a tank,or a rifle for several times more money they switched. price freezes set by the gov KEPT them building war goods. simply put, it was far more profitable to build a $10 rifle than it was to build a $3 sewing machine. most industrialists of the day sided very closely with the axis powers before the war,and looked to europe and germany and its increasing economies as their future. we were still a mostly agricultural country,one long mired in the depression with very little chance of recovering soon.
