Not a chance! Neither Germany, Japan, nor any other country has had
the manpower and transport capability to mount an invasion force
against the USofA since England tried it in 1812.


And you could have achieved that strength without Rosie? Anyway, I
was talking about here in Europe. Whatever my parents' generation
think about the Yanks, we'd have been struggling without all the
liberty ships, tanks, ordnance, fuel, etc, etc. Of course, there were
British Rosies as well, building Spitfires and Hurricanes and
Lancasters, and in many ways it's a shame their role hasn't been
celebrated to the same extent as the American Rosies.





I have included British and even German Rosies in
this series. Can't find any Japanese ones tho.
