In 1936, an American engineer studied under a German professor who taught him that perfect engineering was the only path to victory. But when Jack Morrison returned to Detroit to design the GMC CCKW truck for World War 2, he broke every rule his mentor taught him. Instead of precision, he chose simplicity. Instead of perfection, he chose mass production. The GMC truck wasn't sophisticated—it was deliberately crude, designed so any farm boy could fix it with a hammer. By 1944, over 560,000 GMC trucks had been built, forming the backbone of American logistics. When his German mentor examined the captured truck as a POW, he finally understood: his student hadn't abandoned engineering principles—he'd learned when to break them. This is the untold story of how American pragmatism defeated German perfectionism, one truck at a time.
