If only the Germans could have made more than like 5 of them
How many of these stories were real and not just tall tales spun by post-war generals lobbying to get into NATO positions and avoid warcrimes tribunals?
>>64640052every last woman in Berlin was raped by a dozen mongoloids while their husbands froze to death in the gulag. and they deserved it.
>>64641462They didn't have enough fuel for the tanks they did have. Many tanks that could have been fielded say idle at depots and repair shops, for lack of fuel, spare parts, and crews.
>>64641488>1488Heh.Someone like Guderian, Manstein, or Halder weren't citing single engagements of individual vehicles; what they did lie about were their own failings, deflecting everything on Hitler (a dead man can't defend himself or refute lies), to save their own asses...as you alluded to. Lost Victories and Panzer Leader belong in the fiction section of barnes and noble

>>64640052Who won the war?
>>64641537Logistics and gasoline
>>64641542ALLIED logistics and gasoline.
>>64640052True, but American industry best industry.That's why you shouldn't sleep on the Chinese. Their stuff might be crap but they can build a lot of them quickly. I'd take 10 J-17 Pookillers over a single F-22.
>>64641644>Their stuff might be crap but they can build a lot of them quicklyIf they have the oil to deploy it.China is importing 12 millions of barrels per day. They gobble as much oil as USA, Japan and Germany together.About half of that comes from the Middle East through tankers across the Indian ocean.A fifth comes from Russia by pipelines.A tenth come from South America by tankers across the Pacific ocean.Those are not small ships and their schedule is highly regulated.
>>64640468A report written by a terrified German commander desperately trying to appear 'competent' for political reasons. Taking any German reports from WW2 at face value is the sign of a either a retard, or a propagandist.
>>64641488Considering the Russian capabilities that we have seen I'm more than willing to take german accounts at face value.
I like German heavy tanks, but I don't like the episode where a single T-34/85 caught a King Tiger off guard and instantly destroyed three of them from the side.
>>64641836finally, an unbiased source
>>64641858its the fortune of war, king tiger has like 80mm side armor, so its not like they are invincible against the 85mm gun from all side.Even the tiger at bovington was disabled by a literally war thunder trick shot that jammed the turret through its mantlet bottom. Shits can happen in war
>>64641805I'm not. I feel like they are underreporting it.
>>64641724oddly most german field reports at the time were as accurate as they could be. German officers never really lied about things in their reports as those were only used by high command and not for propaganda purposes.
>>64642059>people never lie to their superiors unless it's for propaganda
>>64642026>>64641858And a Tiger II was defeated by a M8 Greyhound when the M8 shot it in the rear of the turret. Real life isn't a video game where if you got X armour you cannot be defeated by Y.
>>64641683>implying the US has the stones to go full "unrestricted submarine warfare" on same neutral shipping that they also rely on for oilThe US is also critically reliant on imports for all sorts of shit. Globalization has made it impossible for any major power to start a major war and get away unharmed.
>>64641537Reddit. Because you're here
>>64642241The only provable instances of this are in how they qualified tank kills to individuals.Otherwise, check out some field reports, it's like they were written by an anonymous third party observer. They are objective, and bleak when shit was indeed bleak.
>>64642424>same neutral shipping that they also rely on for oil"-Alright people : China is under blockade. Any ship trying to get in or out of its ports past a certain date get on our list and will be sunk."
>>64642424You really think global shipping is going to continue in the pacific if the US and China are at war?
>>64640052Beautiful, just beautiful, german WW2 tanks are truly the best looking tanks ever made
