German Pilots Couldn’t Believe America Used Women To Build Their Engines

Описание: German Pilots Couldn’t Believe America Used Women To Build Their Engines

German pilots couldn’t believe America used women to build their engines—and the skies over Europe soon proved why that disbelief was a fatal mistake. This video uncovers how American aircraft engine production, powered largely by women, reshaped the air war in World War II.

In this in-depth WWII history documentary, you’ll learn how Nazi Germany underestimated American industry and labor, why women were excluded from German aircraft production, and how the United States rapidly mobilized women to build some of the most reliable aircraft engines of the war. From Pratt & Whitney and Allison engines to the P-47 Thunderbolt, P-51 Mustang, and B-17 Flying Fortress, this story shows how factory floors far from the front lines determined air superiority.

We explore German intelligence reports, pilot reactions, and postwar assessments to reveal how engine reliability, mass production, and social adaptability gave the Allies an unstoppable advantage. This is not just a story about technology—it’s about ideology, labor, and the quiet decisions that changed history.
