  11.  @alexturnbackthearmy1907  All german manufacturing used manufacturing machinery made in the US. Same for the British. Neither the Germans nor the UK at the time could match the level of quality of machining and machinery the US was producing in the 1930s and 1940s. And so they were all buying their mills, lathes and such from the US to manufacture their aircraft, tanks, engines, etc. The US was so good, they even improved the RR Merlin engines when produced under license by Packard. They tweaked things in the design to make them even higher quality and better for manufacturing. The US had such high tolerances on some of it's radial engines, they didn't even use seals or gaskets to keep the oil in. The Germans struggled before and during the war to match teh US and UK engine cooling technology. the UK an US could produce high pressure radiators to cool their engines. By operating at higher pressures they could use smaller radiators to cool their engines more efficiently, reducing weight and drag. The Germans struggled to achieve similar, and there attempts led to the radiator pipes expanding like balloons under pressure, blocking all air flow and preventing cooling. This prevented the German engines from achieving even higher performance numbers than they did. The US could mass produce tanks, aircraft, ships, and weapons on a speed and scale no one else could match, all while achieving higher performance and reliability and serviceability than the Germans could do. Yes, some parts were cast, and other parts machined, and other parts stamped, and other forged, etc. You can't single out one example vehicle and make a basis for judging everything else. The US were welding all sorts of things, bolting other things, etc. Engine parts are still cast today, as are other parts. it just depends upon the design, requirements, and cost effectiveness and speed of production.
