Inside Des Moines: How 15,000 Farmgirls Packed 9 Million Bullets Per Day—Beat Hitler's Krupp

The untold story of the women who built 11.6 billion bullets during WWII — and the farmgirl who never made a single mistake. In June 1942, a 19-year-old Iowa farmgirl named Dorothy Erickson stepped into a factory she had never seen — and helped arm the free world. This forgotten WWII story reveals how 15,000 American women built the Des Moines Ordnance Plant from nothing and went on to produce 11.6 billion bullets, out-manufacturing Germany, Japan, and every Axis factory combined. They worked through freezing winters, brutal heat, broken machines, endless shifts, and impossible quotas. Dorothy alone loaded 7.3 million flawless rounds, ammunition that saved soldiers on every front — from North Africa to Normandy to the Pacific. Yet history erased their names. This documentary uncovers the unseen heroes of America’s war industry — the women whose precision, sacrifice, and endurance kept the Allied armies alive.
