FDR was the worst president until world war II started in Europe...

He quickly found out the government could not build anything..

at the time you had the Army and Navy building or controling production..

Someone told him that he need to get the Titans of industry involved

He took the advice and the US won the war because we could build everything faster than either Germany or Japan

There planes were better than ours for a time ...we just had more men killed flying sub par planes..

Same on the battle field..the Germany Tank was superior but Patton evened the score with his leadership

When we first entered the war solders were cannon fodder for a long time til we got better arms..we had crap at the start of the war

Read “Death Traps: The Survival of an American Armored Division in World War II by Col. Belton Cooper”. Cooper was 3rd Armor’s chief ordnance officer in WWII he has a completely different view of Patton.
