In 1942, for the first time in World War II, the United Nations' production of war materials surpassed that of the Axis. Such superiority is a prerequisite for victory, but it is not victory itself. Victory presupposes that it be transformed into superiority on the battlefield and further that this military superiority be utilized for a complete political victory over the Axis, national socialism and fascism. One of the gravest errors of the European democracies before the outbreak of the Second World War was to mistake their industrial potential for actual military strength.
