Capable of traveling by water as well as on land these seagoing motor cars can hurl a striking force across streams and rivers at incredible speed. They roll ashore under the same power that drives them through the water. Blitz buggies from America to smash the Axis.
Now, an ammunition factory. One of hundreds engaged in turning out the millions of rounds of small arms ammunition needed by the United Nations. Plants working day and night. Ammunition for planes fitted onto machine gun belts and packed ready for instant use. Steel jacketed messengers of death from America to smash the Axis.
Another factory in the arsenal of democracy. Here the powerful new M10 "Wolverine" tank destroyers are forged in numbers that would stagger the enemy. Rolling out to the testing ground. Faster than a tank the M10 as the Army calls it is capable of destroying the heaviest armored vehicle yet seen in the field.
Yes, today the great highways of America are alive with truck transports speeding weapons and supplies from inland factories to the coast. Big guns destined for some far flung fighting front. Invasion barges rolling from plants in the interior over high speed highways to the sea. Tons of supplies, food, equipment all United States transportation mobilized to smash the Axis.

Weapons from America speaking the only language the Axis understands.
