"Superior military qualities came to count for less than superior GDP and population numbers." This leads Harrison to argue that ultimately, it was economic might that indeed led to the defeat of the Axis. This was when "economic fundamentals reasserted themselves", as Harrison puts it. "In this first period, the advantages of strategy and fighting power enabled Germany and Japan to inflict overwhelming defeats upon an economically superior combination of powers." Only when the axis power’s war drive started to lose momentum, arguably 1941 or 1942, did a kind of war of attrition begin. Not in the first period of the war, Harrison argues.
