That's true. If Axis had more numbers it could definitely turn the tides of war, then again someone had to keep the production and economy going. Military wasn't going to supply itself. My grandfathers from both sides of my family fought for the Axis and survived to see the end of the war. One was executed by local communist militia in front of his wife and children one day after coming home from the war, the other had more time to gather his family and escape immediately to a village in the middle of nowhere on the other side of the country, and survived.
