Nazi Intelligence Was Stunned When Ford Built A 1.5 Million Part Bomber Every Hour
Nazi Intelligence Was Stunned When Ford Built A 1.5 Million Part Bomber Every Hour Discover the untold story of how German intelligence accurately reported Ford's Willow Run bomber plant was producing one B-24 Liberator every 63 minutes during World War II—each containing 1.5 million parts—but Nazi leadership refused to believe it due to their racist ideology. In this meticulously researched historical documentary, we reveal how German spies, including Operation Pastorius agents who landed on American shores in 1942, gathered overwhelming evidence that Ford's 42,000 workers were outproducing all of Germany's aircraft factories combined. The factory employed 11,000 women and thousands of African Americans, producing 8,685 B-24 bombers by war's end. Through declassified intelligence reports, captured German documents, and testimonies from the Nuremberg trials, learn how Admiral Wilhelm Canaris and the Abwehr collected detailed intelligence from seventeen independent sources—Mexican agents, Spanish diplomats, Swedish engineers, and Japanese naval attachés—all confirming the same impossible truth that Hitler and Hermann Göring dismissed as American propaganda. This gripping account demonstrates how ideological blindness became Nazi Germany's fatal flaw. Their refusal to accept that democracy, diversity, and American industrial innovation could outproduce their "master race" led directly to their defeat in World War II. 🎯 KEY TOPICS COVERED: Ford Willow Run bomber production secrets B-24 Liberator manufacturing process German Abwehr intelligence operations Operation Pastorius spy mission details Rosie the Riveter and women in WWII industry Nazi Germany's industrial intelligence failures Admiral Wilhelm Canaris and German espionage Home front production during World War II American industrial supremacy in WWII How ideology cost Germany the war When mathematics contradicts ideology, mathematics always wins.
