I think the outcome was always solidified if we had resolve.. agree on their mistakes. The axis, mainly Germany bit the same with Japan was hoping for a quick war with limited limited resources. Germany wasted so much on inane projects. They brought Russia into the war, but we all know the main downfall was bringing us into it. Our industrial complex that occurred as a result forced a gap they couldn't compete with.

Huge and silly mistakes were made, even with D Day and Hitler not believing that was our main attack, which most people know here probably.. him holding up a counter attack for a few days certainly saved us lives and time. It was not a war they could sustain, an island nation and a smaller interior European county.. Italy was a joke, and probably half the country didn't want it.
