Rancho Roy Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Didn’t the Germans basically have only one ball bearing factory and some 18 year old figured if the Alies took it out it would end the war? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 The Germans in WWII got their ball bearings from the Swedes who were neutral and sold them to everyone. Church Key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use a vise to shatter them (covered with a heavy rag). I worked in a garage when I was a kid that was owned by my dad and uncle so I had access to lots of ball bearings. I still have a jar full over fifty years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
