Amen. We would credit Rosie the Riveter with winning the war. [and the factories and know-how Roosevelt did not export with fair trade]. We could mass produce.

Exactly correct about Rosie the riveter. The Germans made 1300 of the Tigers and less than 500 Tiger 2s. We built 50,000 Shermans, and the Russians built nearly 65,000 T-34s that were more than a match for anything the Germans fielded. Even Guderian said the T-34 was the best tank of all.
