Скачать или смотреть The Liberty Ship: The Assembly Line That Defeated Hitler's U-Boats

In World War II, German U-boats threatened to starve Britain into surrender by sinking Allied supply ships faster than they could be replaced. The solution came from America’s industrial power: the Liberty Ship. Built in record time on assembly lines pioneered by Henry Kaiser, these 10,500-ton cargo ships changed the Battle of the Atlantic.

This video tells the story of how the Liberty Ship program revolutionized shipbuilding with prefabrication and welding, allowing the United States to launch vessels in weeks instead of months. From the record-breaking construction of the SS Robert E. Peary in just four days to the mass production of over 2,700 ships, the Liberty Ship became the weapon that Germany could not stop.

Discover how American shipyards, many staffed by workers with no prior industrial experience, outproduced Germany’s U-boats and ensured that vital supplies reached Britain and the Allies. The Liberty Ships were not fast or elegant, but they were reliable, resilient, and built in such overwhelming numbers that they turned the tide of the war at sea.

If you’re passionate about WWII history, military strategy, and the untold stories of industrial innovation that won the war, this video is for you.
