Step onto the factory floor where World War II was built—one bolt, one weld, one impossible deadline at a time. This episode tells the untold engineering story behind the legendary WWII Jeep, born on the Willys-Overland assembly lines in Toledo, Ohio, and powered by the rugged Go Devil engine that soldiers trusted in mud, sand, snow, and heat.

In 1940, the U.S. Army demanded a quarter-ton reconnaissance vehicle under crushing specs and a 49-day prototype deadline—something most automakers called impossible. Only American Bantam and Willys-Overland answered, with Ford joining after Bantam’s “Blitz Buggy” proved the concept. What followed was a high-stakes race: Camp Holabird testing, rapid redesigns, weight cuts, and the push to standardize a single platform that could be repaired in the field and produced at scale.

Meet the people who made it happen: Ward Canaday, who kept Willys alive through the Great Depression, and Delmar “Barney” Roos, the perfectionist engineer who delivered the power, simplicity, and durability the Army needed. Then witness what mass production really meant—three shifts, 24/7 output, dangerous work, and the quiet rituals of workers who hoped their Jeep would carry someone home.

From Lend-Lease shipments to Normandy, and finally the Liberation of Paris on August 25, 1944—Jeeps rolling through flower-covered streets—this is the human cost and industrial genius behind one of the war’s most iconic machines.
