This year marks the 80th anniversary of the start of World War II. This BBC World Service documentary explores the economic decisions that nations made to prepare for and maintain the war effort. Allied and Axis nations alike had to resource their factories, pay for their armies and feed their people. Economic decisions made far from the battlefield were crucial to how the Allies won the war -- and why the Axis lost.
