Damn you Digr, through great personal determination and grit, I just escaped that colorization site after 2 1/2 hours.

Did you know 1,007,671 WW I bayonets, were shortened in WW II, from 16 to 10 inches for use with the M1 Garand? Or that Singer sewing machine got an order for 500, M1911A1 pistols in an experiment to see how quickly a company with zero weapons-making experience could become a military supplier? And those guns go for $20,000 to $40,000 today? That's only a taste of the information that pulled against my escape.
