The military Industrial Complex of World War Two was an engineering marvel - if anything in the logistics of managing manpower materials and other assets on a global scale

When the United States Entered World War Two, after virtually all of it's factories had been refitted to produce ships, tanks, trucks, guns and aircraft...

From 1941 to 1945 the US produced 87,000 naval vessels of various types 100,000 tanks 300,000 airplanes 2 million trucks 20 million rifles and 41 billion rounds of ammunition enough bullets to kill every man woman and child on the earth in 1945.... 17 times over

these figures do not include similar production data from some of the other allied powers.
