What is the World War II axis power summary?

One very important note about the power of the axis
countries was the split that always existed between Hitler and Stalin.  Neither one
actually trusted the other, and as soon as it became apparent that his aims could not be
accomplished working with Stalin, Hitler turned on him and invaded
Russia.

This more than any other factor likely spelled the
end for the Axis powers.  Germany blunted the incredible power of its army in an endless
bloodbath across Eastern Europe and into Stalingrad and this allowed England and the US
to enter the war on the Western Front without facing the real power of the German
armies.

Thanks to immense sacrifices including millions of
deaths both civilian and military, the split between Russia and the rest of the Axis
powers spelled their doom.
