At the heart of a successful military strategy is a perfectly fine-tuned military machine - a complex mechanism that protects the country in combat and peacetime. In all the leading countries of the world, it manifested itself most clearly in the Second World War. Here is a chronicle of the creation of one of the most powerful military vehicles in history, to this day effectively supporting the defense of the United States. With only 100,000 men in reserve after World War I, America’s military-industrial complex grew at a rapid rate, which allowed it to play a crucial role in the fight against the Nazis. Ground units of various purposes, detachments of the Air Force, the shock American fleet, fearless Marines and Coast Guard troops, made an invaluable contribution to the victory of the Allies over the common enemy. A detailed account of the formation of each branch of the military and the weapons that provide their power is provided with an impressive documentary chronicle and a rich set of facts from the military archives. close
