Of course. That would explain why the Germans were so successful in the Battle of Britain, how the Bismark and Tirpitz chased the Royal Navy from the high seas, and how they kicked the Brits out of North Africa after their decisive victory at El Alamein.

I just read a book about El Alamein.
Basically Montgomery had 2.5 times the resources and Rommel had no fuel.
All credit to the Allied bravery, but it was far more about logistics and resources than battle strategy and skill.
