My dear departed father who servied in Burma often stated that Americas manafacturing might and logisitics won WW2.Yup. I'd add the Victory ship to the list of logistical WW2 brilliance.
Give the GI a tool to use, lots of them and get the hell out of his way!

By 1943, three liberty ships were completed daily. So roughly 90 liberty ships were being built per month! No other country could match that!

Don’t forget the hundreds of thousands of GMC, Dodge, and Studebaker Deuce and a half trucks that hauled almost every round of ammo, every C-ration, every gallon of gasoline and a big chunk of the GIs. By the end of WWII, the only armies that did not rely on American two and an half ton trucks for their logistical support were the Germans and the Japanese.
