Within 25-years time, the Technical Center built in Warren, Michigan helped this town quickly become the third largest city in the state by 1980! This pamphlet reveals how confident GM's elite cadre was on how this company was going to help America win WW Two way back in 1942. That's because GM's business model showed it as being the most likely end scenario for the war, on account of the fact America's factories were safe and virtually untouchable while Nazi Germany and Japan's factories were going to be bombed to oblivion. It wasn't hard for GM's number crunchers to do the math and let Washington know this was going to be a war of attrition...and depending how fast Detroit's Arsenal cranked out it's weapons, would completely determine the length of the war in Europe.

GM's top leaders (like William Knudsen, who went from GM's president to General of War Production in Washington representing Detroit's ordnance muscle) all knew they had an edge over Germany and Japan. They bet heavily that the new "Arsenal of Democracy" headquartered in Detroit's auto capital, was just the kind of leverage to make the U.S. prevail victorious.
