Answer:

Well, two reasons.

1. Shermans were the most mass-produced tank in WW2 and were able to fight on lots of fronts and have the numbers advantage.

2. Hitler underestimated allied tanks and was having mental breakdowns (from not having proper medicine treatment) that lead to poor decision making.

The Allies were able to defeat the Axis powers for many reasons. Because of their location, the Axis powers had to fight on several fronts at the same time. Hitler also made some poor military decisions. For example, he underestimated the Soviet Unions ability to fight.
