Hermann Göring Laughed at America's Plan—Then ONE Factory Outproduced His Entire Luftwaffe

May 28th, 1940. Hermann Göring—Hitler's designated successor and commander of the Luftwaffe—received an intelligence report about President Roosevelt's request to Congress. America planned to build 50,000 aircraft per year.

Göring's response? He laughed. Out loud. In front of his entire staff.

"The Americans," he scoffed, "know nothing of war production."

Four years later, at the Nuremberg trials, Hermann Göring would sit in stunned silence as prosecutors presented the actual production numbers. America hadn't built 50,000 planes per year—they'd built 100,000.

🎖️ WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER IN THIS 46-MINUTE DOCUMENTARY:

• The moment Hermann Göring dismissed Roosevelt's production promise as "American propaganda"—his fatal mistake
• How Henry Ford's "impossible" promise to build one B-24 bomber per hour became reality
• Rose Will Monroe and the women who traded kitchens for rivet guns to save democracy
• The mile-long assembly line at Willow Run that produced 8,685 four-engine bombers
• Why one Michigan factory outproduced the entire German aircraft industry
• Göring's admission at Nuremberg: "I never believed you could do it"
• The $45 billion industrial advantage that decided World War II

🏭 THE FACTORY THAT CHANGED HISTORY:

Willow Run wasn't just a factory—it was America's answer to tyranny. Built on Michigan farmland in 1941, this facility stretched 3,500 feet long and employed 42,000 workers at peak production. Most were women with no manufacturing experience who learned to rivet aluminum with precision that would determine whether their brothers, sons, and husbands came home alive.

Every 63 minutes, another B-24 Liberator bomber rolled off the line—four engines, 18 tons of aluminum, 360,000 rivets, ready for combat. The facility operated 24 hours daily, producing more heavy bombers than all Axis powers combined.

👥 FOR FAMILIES OF THE GREATEST GENERATION:

If your mother, grandmother, aunt, or family friend worked in war production—at Willow Run or any defense plant—please share their story in the comments. These personal accounts are American history that deserves preservation.

If your father, grandfather, or uncle flew in B-24s built at Willow Run, we honor their service and courage. The women who built those bombers never forgot they were building life-or-death equipment for someone's son.
