Politically incorrect now, but the gadget that won World War II - the Zippo lighter. Runner up, the Bic lighter. And now that I think of it, the Bic 19 cent ball point pen.

Any Ball point pen, also a WWII invention if I recall correctly. . . at least the first successful ones, the Biro ball point pens invented in Argentina.
