Notes on the table (remember that these are rough estimates):

1. ↑  France-Axis distribution: 1940: 56%, 1941-43: 100%, 1944: 58%.
2. ↑  Italy distribution: 1939-1943: 100% Axis, 1944-1945: 100% Allies
3. ↑  Soviet Union-Allies distribution: 1939: Only 67% due to the pact with Germany, but none to Axis. During 1940 Soviet Union is not counted at all. 1941: 44% is distributed to the Allies (after Operation Barbarossa), 1942-1945: 100%.
4. ↑  Allied/Axis GDP: This row shows the relation in GDP between the Allies and the Axis; i.e. 2.00 means the Allied production was 2 times larger than the Axis. Please note that only a selection of countries are included in the table.
