“The Allies won the Second World War because they turned their economic strength into effective power, and turned the moral energies of their people into an effective will to win. …Materially rich, but divided, demoralised, and poorly led, the Allied coalition would have lost the war, however exaggerated Axis ambitions, however flawed their moral outlook.”

- Richard Overy, Why the Allies Won p. 325
