@calvingreene90 a lot of material that was overseas was destroyed, rather than hauled back to the US. My dad didn't have enough points to be shipped home quickly after VE day, so spent some time in an occupation garrison during the post war cleanup. He watched as a flock of US bombers were lined up at an airfield, and a crane went down the line dropping a wrecking ball on the planes to break their backs.
