Manpower. Americans all. Operating a low-swing engine lathe, Joe Zorich (left) and Chuck Doe, both nineteen, are typical of the younger workers in this huge Midwest medium-tank factory. Both are first-generation Americans--Joe's parents came from Croatia and Chuck's from Germany--and both are just about as American as any nineteen-year-old who can count his American-born ancestors on both hands. Machining parts for the tanks American soldiers will use to defeat the Axis, they're marking time till they can be on the front lines themselves, using these very tanks to make a first-hand stab at Hitler's hordes. Pressed Steel Can Company, Chicago, Illinois
