War Factories (2020): S02E07 – Colt & Kalashnikov


Introduction

This incredible series is more than the epic story of war production – it is the untold secret story of World War II. No matter how many soldiers or how clever the generals or how daring the strategy, a war cannot be won if there are not enough bullets and steel and planes and food and tanks.

Outline

Long before Henry Ford, Samuel Colt is the true father of mass production. Ironically, it was the inadequacy of Soviet factory production which made the AK47 so effective.
