Feld Marschall Kesselring said that America could have had the same effect on Germany if they had bombed them with refrigerators. His point was that the unhindered industrial capacity of America allowed us to do whatever we wished with devestating results.

Thanks for the great quote. Sometimes Germans are actually funny.
But usually by accident!

A few times when I've heard some foreign friends complain about American industrial
or cultural domination, I tell them it's the fault of Hitler, Tojo and Mussolini.
Thanks to them, Americans learned how to coordinate take-off of many planes
from airfields and safely carry payloads long distances.
This was just the "on-the-job training" for running busy airports and moving millions of
bodys daily.

And thanks to Adolph, the pre-WWII plans to make French the international language of
airports around the world was drowned out by all the English being used...
