In almost every way, prove me wrong. In 1941 they had literal fucking horses as a logistical linchpin of their Barbarossa campaign.

From a material perspective wehrmacht was vastly inferior (all militiaria were) to the US. It's not even a debate. The US army was completely motorized and mechanized, while simultaneously enormous.

From a tactical perspective the wehrmacht was 'mostly' superior to the US. Obviously it's also necessary to seperate the Wehrmacht of 1939-1943 when it was largely well supplied, had a competent command, had high morale and experience, had clear strategic goals, was well supported by combined arms etc, and the wehrmacht of 1943-1945, which was the complete opposite; low experience, low morale, under-supplied, under-supported, centralized and detached command, lack of strategic direction etc.

Many times the wehrmacht lost to the US due to the overwhelming strategic disadvantage, not the tactical disadvantage. Tunis campaign is a great example of this where the inexperienced US army had a difficult time winning actual battles, but the overwhelming mobility and naval and aerial supremacy allowed them to trap the entire DAK on the continent and around the Tunisian coast.

The Wehrmacht knew they were inferior in terms of manpower, that's why they hoped to leverage mechanized warfare to give them an advantage over the allies, which in practice meant more tanks and armored vehicles with assault troops armed with STGs meant to scout ahead of armored convoy convoy and double as support troops for said armored units. These battle formations were designed to minimize needed manpower, again, with the expressed goal being to leverage machines and what they hoped would be superior industry.
The irony is one of the big things that held them back was state military orthodoxy. Hitler reportedly didn't like the idea of supplanting infantry with assault and support troops with intermediate cartridges, since his only point of reference was the First World War, where Infantry-Marksman were still the primary soldiers on the battlefield, and so as a result, the Nazis were slow to adopt the STG over their existing Kar98ks and submachine guns.

And they sure as fuck didn't sent USSR 53% of their ammunition production either. For fuck's sake, the UK received 3x times as much supplies as USSR during ww2. Something doesn't add up.

>I was glad when I saw them, that I had come back to the outfit and gone into Germany, for the trip, with its views of the lagers and prison camps, had finally convinced me of the need to drive the Germans from the face of Europe. How could a civilized nation run concentration camps and murder millions-and still fight for that way of life? How could a man fight for a nation that broke up millions of families, that put old women and little children to work in slave-labor lagers? The Third Reich was a cancer on the face of the Western man. I was glad now that I had played a part, however small, in helping to remove that cancer. Herbert Hoover, with his methodical, engineer's mind, could admire the Germans as an efficient and industrious race, but I was only sorry that I had not shot more of them
>I had never believed in the war until I had gone into Germany and seen what the Germans had in mind for the world: the slave labor lagers, the broken families, the men from Dachau; old women and little children worked to death in Ruhr factories. To me the Germans were a nation of barbarous psychopaths responsible for the first degree murder of ten to fifteen million Poles, Russians, and Jews, innocent civilians whose only crime was to have been born-Poles, Russians, or Jews. They had filled hundreds and hundreds of tank ditches with the bodies of men, women and children, had denied God and Christ to follow a satanic Messiah who promised them only murder on the vilest and vastest scale in history. A nation of animal lovers who had never understood people, the Germans had set out deliberately to exterminate the Slav, to annihilate the Jew, to murder all whom they disliked or who would not love them as animals loved them that had been taught to obey and beg for food. I wanted the Germans to be thoroughly punished-if I could ever catch Himmler, Hitler, or Goering I would take the greatest delight in making them die slowly

The M2 wasn't widely adopted until Korea, it saw virtually no use in the Second World War, production of the M2s only began in May of 1945 when the war was pretty much over. You might be confusing it for the M1 Carbine, the non-select fire variant, since that, by contrast, was widely adopted throughout the way, and was by a wide margin Americas most produced small arm of the war, but it wasn't competing with the STG-44, although many have made the argument that the M1/M2 Carbines were the first "assault rifles" and the .30 Carbine was the first intermediate cartridge.

Apart from the Americans no army in the world was fully mechanized. The Soviets also relied on horses, many more than the Germans, until the Americans gifted them endless amounts of trucks and fuel.

The Wehrmacht simply did not have the raw resources to fully mechanise everything. Germany struggled for everything, from iron to oil, and many of their strategic moves were done to try and secure these supplies. But this isn't military inferiority.

All western nations realized that Auftragstaktik is the way to go since it's flat-out superior. But it requires an army of independently thinking high IQ men being able to serve 2 ranks above their station at any time so they can think about and understand the big picture. That's why the best military standard in the world is found in Prussian army traditions, which found its peak in the Wehrmacht.
>>
>>17993265
The US army was pretty horse heavy into the 30s and shockingly the huge industrial output of the country meant it could mechanize quicker than the country that was not allowed to have any tanks or tank industry until they broke with that rule in '36-ish.
The Nazis were just not good any many things or at least not as good as they thought and claimed. As much as they managed to mobilize the troops and the people, the industry was never capable of sustaining this kind of war effort.

Nope, the British and American armies did not rely on animal-power, and your single anecdote doesn't prove shit.

Could animals be used for domestic purposes? Sure. Was a campaign depended on animals? No.

Again, it's slightly unfair comparison to compare the British army to the German and American army, because the British army was relatively small so it was far easier to maintain a high standard for motorized and mechanized ratio.
The American army however was, huge and was still able to carry itself without horse carts.
Pic related was something the Germans could barely comprehend even in their wildest imaginations.

Gee what would be the benefit of horses in a reconnaissance attachment in a poorly developed colonial terrain?
US border patrol in 2025 still use horses over vehicles for this exact same reason.

When we say fully motorized, it means that horses were not uses to support an entire campaign, it's logistical lines or army maneuverability.
It doesn't mean that horses weren't allowed to be present whatsoever and have no tactical purpose.
All you can do is finding anecdotes, and ignore looking at the broader picture.

How is it moving the goal post to say that US border patrol uses horses for limited purpises, yet this fact obviously doesn't suddenly mean that the US border patrol in its entirety now simply cannot sustain its organization, its logistics, its administration, its operation, its entire maneuverability, its entire infrastructure, without being horse-powered?
It's bullshit.

And the same goes for the US army.
Just because the US used horses for svouting missions in an underdeveloped terrain, doesn't mean that the US military from its up-and-down infrastructure organization wasn't completely motorized. It was. Soldiers and supplies rode on trucks, and tank divisions were never handicapped by the fuel gauge.

Cope and seethe.

The Wehrmact was superior to the US in every human quality, bravery, ferocity, zeal, and competence, the qualities one lauds and seeks to embody the most.

The US was superior to all in sheer mass, population, munitions, material, quantity, those qualities associated with the asiatic horde. However, that itself would be too much praise to the Amerigolems, at least the mongol was a hardy warrior himself, the americanid would throw a fit if his chocolate bar wasn't packed in his lunchbox.

Its no suprise, a demoralized, outgunned, and outnumbered wehrmact, in a phase of the war where they knew they could at best fight for a status quo treaty, still humiliated the animals of western continent at the battle of the bulge.

Not to mention the entire North African campaign (Americans are more judaized and negriphilliac bongs) where the bongs having every advantage for years still where getting their shit pushed in for years by an foe that was completely cut off from support and in a foreign land. So much so the bongoids had to invent this delusion that rommel was some superhuman lmfao

David Kenyon Webster's (the guy depicted in OP) own memoir, Parachute Infantry.

Honestly, it's unfortunate that Webster was unable to get the book published within his lifetime (largely because of its incendiary content) and that it was later completely overshadowed by Band of Brothers when it finally was in the 1990s. Webster captured the pure undiluted rage of those who saw the bestial nature of Nazism firsthand better than Ambrose could ever hope to.

The M2 was deemed inferior to the MP44 by the men that used it and ALL modern assault rifles follow the MP44 build. not a single modern assault rifle has anything in common with the M2.

Germans killed more Americans than Americans did of Germans DESPITE the huge disadvantage the German infantryman had regarding non-infantry factors (air support, logistical support, weaponry).

Dupuy's study which is today apart of the US Army War College Curricula deemed the average German man 1.4x more effective in combat than the average American man.

If we take divisional success and remove the worst German division and the best American division there is no overlap in whatsoever it is a complete blowout in favor of Germany.
Americans cant fight, they cant fight because their primary stock is from the British isles.
The racial heuristic is rarely ever wrong and the racial heuristic is vindicated by the US Army War College official curricula.
Americans are all talk, especially the Celtic stock from the American South where their soldiers come from.
This big talk is very neat when youre in iron age Briton and you gather round the two largest tards in the village doing champion warfare, but this type of behavior does not scale into modern warfare in the way organization and intelligence scales.
This is why Finns humiliated Slavs in the modern Era while they were enslaved in the pre-modern era.
This is why Germans humiliated Americans in the modern era while being decently matched by the ancestors of the Americans in the Iron Age during the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain.

British DNA does not scale well, neither does Slavic DNA.
Germanic (German and Scandinavian) DNA scales the best with modern warfare.

nope. the US did produce those rounds and they produced the material necessary for those rounds.
Stalin had to shut down Amtoward because it basically ran Soviet weapons production into the late 40s and it was becoming a problem for The Party.
A consistent theme of the USSR is being unable to actually maintain their progress and reaching a sharp decline which in the age of technology and industry saw them greatly outscaled by the US in progress.

Over 300,000 American and tens of thousands of native born engineers had to be removed from the USSR from 1922 to 1950 because of the huge powerbase they were creating within the USSR without actually holding official party office.
It was a consistent problem and when Stalin finally removed them down to a man the USSR collapsed to the point of humiliation.
The USSR was so thoroughly cowed by the United States they rescinded the Refusnik order when famines began to occur because the US was withholding grain shipments to the USSR.

nope.
less than 250,000 Germans actually died in battle.
If you want to say the US inflicted more casualties via capture then sure, because ultimately the Germans surrendered tens of thousands of men after being put into strategically hopeless situations, however if we are talking battlefield capability, tactical capability not strategic viability. The Germans inflicted over 50% MORE casualties on the Americans than they took from the Americans.
That is a huge disparity.

Americans cant fight.
the British isles produce men with small balls and Americans are mostly from the British isles.
These are retarded hicks from the sticks of alabamy and maine and tejas with tiny balls and narrow feminine builds going up against raging Teutonic Auroch empowered by Wotanic magic.

The BEST US division overlapping with the WORST German division is a humiliation for the US.
If anything its more charitable to put the Germans above the Americans categorically rather than say "the American elites performed as well as German conscripts in their teens and 50s."

And the heroic Norsemen lost the battle to cowardly Celtic subterfuge.

I'm sure you feel that way anon, but I sincerely doubt the army teaches how German DNA is better at warfighting considering they lost and lost hard.

Lotta cope and seethe in that post since Nordsissies got shitrekt despite holding a strategic advantage

Im not the one coping.

Nope.
They do, they teach it because its true and highly relevant.
>they lost
The US lost to Afghanistan, should we abandon all our military doctrines?
>lost hard
yeah it was hard to beat them, it took a level of global mobilization on such a scale that it will likely never be seen again.

Germans have generally been either unexceptional or bad at warfare, with only small bursts, like under Prussia of competence.
The Nazi Army was better than most Europeans, if only due to fanatical morale, but versus America, there never was a contest.
If the US started in Berlin and Germany started in Washington, the US would have still won WW2.

>which in practice meant more tanks and armored vehicles with assault troops armed with STGs meant to scout ahead of armored convoy convoy and double as support troops for said armored units. These battle formations were designed to minimize needed manpower, again, with the expressed goal being to leverage machines and what they hoped would be superior industry.
The issue there is that German engineering was pretty dogshit and prioritized speed of first concept->production over efficiency or usability.
It was more important for the Germans to put SOMETHING into production than for that thing being put into production to actually be good. Minimizing cost, despite their massive material limitations, wasn't a big factor, either.

The STG44 had a huge rejection rate on receivers, the part of the gun that contains all the operating bits, because it used an overly complex type of manufacturing that the Germans thought was a good idea at the time, got too invested in, and then had to muddle through.

American generals were all good at their jobs.
Every German general ate shit at some point because they sucked.

The one counterattack the Germans were capable of, the Battle of the Bulge, was a humiliating loss.
In Italy the Americans fought through horrible disadvantaged terrain and constantly crushed the Germans at every step along the way.

>The fact they crossed more land, faster, with horses compared to the Americans demonstrates the Wehrmacht was big where it counts.
This was a bad thing because German armies constantly stalled out when they outran their ability to be resupplied.
The US moved at a logical pace where they constantly maintained strong supply networks so every troop had access to good food, material, and ammo resupply.
The Germans failed at this basic rule.

Nearly all armies of the world still relied on horses for logistics at that phase in the war.

It's almost like the individual soldier doesn't really matter in a war.

>>17998028
Early STG-44s were much higher quality than models from somewhat later in the war as Germany was rapidly running out of resources and time and had to switch to cheaper stamped sheet metal construction for their receivers over milled. I wonder if this might've contributed to this reputation.

>The M2 was deemed inferior to the MP44 by the men that used it
Why are you just baselessly making shit up?
The M2 wasn't even widely adopted in the Second World War. The War was pretty much over by the time they went into production, so I seriously doubt anyone would've been making these comparisons at the time in the first place because there would've been little of next to nobody who would've gotten contemporary field experience with both weapons.
Reportedly, many Germans actually did like the M1 Carbine, and captured M1s were given the designation Selbstladekarabiner 455(a) (Semiautomatic Carbine Number 455)

Poles are better people than germniggers in every way, and Germany is a shithole.

Shut the fuck up,with your retarded mental gymnastics. The Germans were thoroughly defeated, and Wehrmacht destroyed.

So you admit the inferiority of Celtic DNA and I2a and R1b-L21.
