Supposedly the same applied to the mechanization of the army -- the US
had an advantage because most young men not only owned a car, they had
tinkered with it enough to be a decent shade tree mechanic.

The advantage part appears myth, because by mid-1942 the British (the only
other mechanised army in WW2) had given every soldier basic vehicle
maintenance training and trained tens of thousands of driver-mechanics.
