My point exactly: why do you think the anti-labor arguments that rhyme with yours went away when Hitler got his ass kicked?

It didn't go away...? We wouldn't be able to have this discussion if it did.

I have no idea what you are trying to get at. If it is that wars can be won by working 40 hours per week, that is highly unlikely to be true. The 40 hour work weeks went by the wayside during the war. The US, for example, mandated a minimum of 48 hour workweeks in manufacturing during the war.
