Both Germany and Japan made miscalculations about the power of the United States and its impact if it entered the war.Germany and Japan underestimated the US ability to produce large numbers of high quality weapons, aircraft, ships, vehicles, and ammunition in sufficient time to be used against them, as early as 1942. They also underestimated the US ability to greatly increase the size of the US Merchant Marine fleet to support the world-wide operations of the US & its Allies. They underestimated the ability of the US to build a large Army and a very large Air Force. They underestimated the fighting capability and skill of the US soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, and merchant sailors, and the skill & leadership of the Generals and Admirals. They greatly underestimated the fighting resolve & steadfastness of the US nation to overcome all obstacles to force the unconditional surrender of both Germany and Japan.
