Preparing for War: Chrysler military production, 1940-1942

[Jacek]

Good old days, when a tank cost 50 000$.

And what do you wish to say with this article? I must say, I am not surprised at all. It is only natural that a neutral country, out of reach of any possible enemy land forces prepares its industry for massive armament effort. Isn´t it?

The other, maybe less known fact is, that the largest producer of German tanks was Opel, owned by GM and that Ford had a large production of trucks in Germany during entire war. Focke-Wolf was in 25-28% owned by ITT, Also the Soviet tank-producing plants were of American origin – afaik, Ford´s only.

Who won the war, could one ask…..
