Even in early 1941, before we entered the fray because of this dastardly attack, the USA was ALREADY an industrial giant supplying the English and the Russians with armament galore in which to fight Nazi Germany.(Does the term "Lend Lease" ring a bell?)
Now, I know Ol' Adolf wasn't playin' with a full deck and all, but I'll bet even THAT a$$hole had to remark after hearing of the news of the Pearl Harbor attack...."The Japanese did WHAT??? HOLY CRAP!!! NOW guess who's comin' to this freakin' party, Gentlemen?! I think we may be in "a little trouble" NOW dudes!!!"
(okay...so maybe he didn't say that...like I said, the jerk wasn't playin' with all 52!!!)
Cheers,
Dwight
(note of interest: During WWII(1939[don't forget] to 1945), the CITY of Pittsburgh ALONE produced more steel than ALL of Germany and Japan COMBINED...and those idjuts thought they had a freakin' chance?! HA!!!)
(BTW...I've just returned from a military funeral at the Riverside(CA) National Cemetary, for a veteran(Vietnam) U.S.Navy sailor, friend and fellow NWA employee, AND fellow Triumph rider('03 Sprint), who died at the MUCH too young age of 56 of an inoperable brain tumor last week.....God Speed CARL VAUGHN....you will be missed)
