How One Engineer’s “Impossible” Blueprint Made Tanks Roll Off Assembly Lines Like Cars

Discover the untold story of how Chrysler's Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant revolutionized modern warfare by transforming tank production from slow craftsman work into high-speed assembly line manufacturing during World War II. When William Knudsen called Chrysler CEO K.T. Keller on June 7, 1940, asking if Chrysler could build tanks, Keller admitted he'd never even seen one. Yet within nine months, Chrysler accomplished the impossible—producing America's first mass-produced tanks using automobile manufacturing techniques that would change military history forever. This documentary reveals how engineer Albert Kahn designed the massive 1.25-million-square-foot facility, how workers assembled tanks in an unfinished factory heated by a steam locomotive during Michigan's brutal winter, and how the Detroit Arsenal produced 22,234 tanks—25% of all American WWII tank production. Learn about the innovative Chrysler A57 Multibank 30-cylinder engine, the record-breaking 896 tanks produced in December 1942, and how American industrial genius weaponized mass production to help win World War II. From the M3 Grant to the legendary M4 Sherman tank, this is the fascinating true story of how Detroit's Arsenal of Democracy outproduced the entire German tank industry and proved that engineering innovation could defeat any enemy. Perfect for history enthusiasts, engineering fans, and anyone interested in WWII production, American industrial power, and the manufacturing miracles that changed the world.
