wartime production
Arsenal output surge
Wartime production is the manufacturing output of a nation during armed conflict, especially the large-scale conversion of industrial capacity to military purposes.
The term evokes images of factories retooled to build tanks instead of cars, women entering the workforce en masse, and rationing of consumer goods: Wartime production reached its peak in 1944.
The phrase often carries nostalgic connotations of national unity and shared sacrifice.
