Of the total 127.2 million personnel mobilized during the Second World War, over two thirds of these were on the side of the Allied Powers. This means that there were over two Allied soldiers for every one Axis soldier. Additionally, the populations of the Allied powers were much greater than those of the Axis, and their ability to reinforce and replenish their numbers as the war progressed would be one of the main factors in the eventual Allied victory.
