Roll up your sleeves—America is about to transform itself into the world's biggest, busiest, and most determined factory. In this episode, we explore how ordinary citizens fueled an extraordinary war effort: women stepping into industrial jobs, families rationing everything from sugar to rubber, and scientists racing to develop technologies that would change warfare—and the world. Victory gardens bloom, assembly lines roar, and the "Arsenal of Democracy" comes to life in real time. It's a story of sacrifice, innovation, and national unity as millions on the homefront discover that winning a global war takes far more than soldiers alone.
