Why America's Quonset Hut Could Be Built In 1 Day — While Britain's Nissen Hut Took A Week

During World War II, both Britain and America needed fast, portable buildings to house troops, workshops, and supplies. Britain had the Nissen Hut, a reliable design—but when America entered the war, engineers created something even faster: the Quonset Hut, a structure that could be built in a single day.

In this episode of Rewind WW2, we uncover the engineering breakthroughs, industrial power, and logistical genius that allowed the U.S. to mass-produce over 150,000 Quonset Huts across the globe — while Britain’s Nissen Huts took days to assemble.

From the factories of Rhode Island to the beaches of Normandy, this is the story of how America’s innovation helped build the war effort—literally.
