I saw a very interesting video a few years ago [1] - by the end of WW2, tank production figures were:
Russia built 106,000 tanks
America built 102,000 tanks
Germany built 47,000 tanks
Britain built 36,000 tanks
Needless to say, once you know one side had 5x as many tanks, the outcome becomes something of a foregone conclusion....
