Back on the subject of Japanese Production Capabilities, let me present one set of statistics that should pretty well settle the case against Japan knowing anything about Assembly Line Mass Production..... 1940. With 34,100,000 people in it's labor Force, Japan produced 03.5% of the worlds manufacturing. During the same year, despite the last vestiges of the Great Depression, 52,800,000 American Laborers produced 32.2% of the World's Manufacturing. Basically, it took Japan 9,742,857 workers to produce 01.0 % of the world's Manufacture, while the US needed only 1,639,751 laborers to do the same. During the War, both would add labor to their pools, but America's percentage would rise to 50% of all the World's production, while Japan's would shrink. Enough said.
