He was president of chevrolet in May of 1940. Roosevelt engaged him to lead the war manufacturing mobilization. He was also a Republican. He got the job done by the end of 1941 and then the new dealers replaced him with one more to their liking. He was inspirational, a great motivator of people and a skilled problem solver. The war department needed him and so convinced Roosevelt to direct commission him as a Lt. General in the Air Corps with an open portfolio to make war production operate better and he did. He retired to relative obscurity, wrote his memoir, lived for a couple of years and died. The new dealers wrote the story about mobilization and it was all about the can do spirit of labor, patriotism and gubment leadership. Fact is, big labor unions made a lot of waves just like in ww 1 when the railroads were nationalized. It never came to that but came close many times.
47 percent of national capacity was engaged for the war effort. Most of it refocused by planning and at the behest of Knudsen. To be sure a lot of money was made on some things and a lot was first ever built at cost plus just a little.
Control the narrative, control the history and the minds of the sheeple.
