So who made money in World War Two?
The Bush family, the DuPont family, Standard Oil, Ford, and more.
rlk (#5) ----, Answer: Almost every American who wasn't an enlisted man fighting on the ground as a grunt.
Well, they made a living, but for the most part no more than a living. --- BobCeleste
My parents were typical, --- during the war they both worked at well paying jobs unavailable before the war, and saved enough to buy a house on a few acres..
BIG step up for them... And for millions like them. Our new neighborhood (formerly small farms), was subdivided and hundreds of homes were built, most by do it yourselfers from their wartime savings..

The average American did exceedingly well right after the war and through the 60s - up until the Great Society BS.
It allowed my parents, only one of which graduated HS, to raise two kids and have them go to college and subsequently see their children vault up the economic ladder as a result thereof - with little-to-no help from the government. They were also able to retire in reasonable comfort with a very high degree of self-sufficiency (i.e. - no government largess save for SS which they both paid into the system for decades before retiring). The same was true for my in-laws. And at least the two grandmas saw our daughter surpass our educational and career achievements.
In short, that is what embodied the American Dream - a good argument can be made that such was born out of the ruins of WWII. Sadly realization of that version of the dream is just about dead now. Now one is told that they need the government to be able to fulfill the dream.

What you need now is a government wo will start the war who will perpetuate the war so the top 1% can prosper while the rest are used for cannon fodder

So you are claiming that is was the 1% of the world that orchestrated the outbreak of WWII?

well of course it was, the german industralists drank out of that trough just as the americans did. Even the British king was in favour of the nazi. I expect they thought their war wouldn't be in Europe.
One of the ways of lifting an economy quickly is a war and the world was deep in depression and its afthermath, what do you do with the unemployed? induct them into the military

No all the documentaries I have watched in my long life and the reference books on my coffee table are all wrong, just as all the other references available. American industry profited from the war thus the reluctance to enter it, German industry profited from the war. The rich always profit from war and try to be on the winning side and each generation takes a different view of politics. The jews were unwanted in Europe until Hitler stated exterminating them, then those, including the US who had turned a blind eye. understood the threat.
In this current age we don't understand the threat, given the opportunity the nazi muslims wahhabbists would exterminate us, starting with the shiia, then the christians and the jews and history will repeat itself
