Postwar rearmament without working nuclear weapons

How would logistics, procurement, and weapons development change after 1945 if nuclear weapons did not work?

Conventional rearmament would begin much faster because governments would expect a third world war without relying on nuclear deterrence.

The panel expects the political and military pause after 1945 to disappear. Instead of several years of demobilization before Berlin and the mature Cold War sharpened the threat, navies and armies would retain more capacity and begin rebuilding immediately. The answer is brief, but it clearly links deterrence assumptions to procurement tempo and logistics demand.
