Was tinkering with some WW2 equipment facts. Essentially I have one question for the blog visitors:
Some Math
Total systems produced by both Allies and Axis.
KD: Eight years is 2,920 days. The above red numbers are minimum daily production requirements. Basically, that is what had to be produced day in and day out by the involved parties to meet the officially reported equipment volumes.
- Could the entire WW2 time World produce what allegedly was produced between 1938 and 1945? That is 8 years.
- The article lists the duration as 1938 through 1945
- Here are the facts: Military production during World War II - Wikipedia

- Artillery, mortars, guns: 8,156,187
- Systems per day: 2,793
- Aircraft: 866,579
- Aircraft per day: 296
- Ships: 56,602
- Ships per day: 19.3
- Cargo Ships: 59,880
- Cargo ships per day: 20.5

- Uniform, food and other supply related categories are not mentioned but should probably be factored in into the total picture.
