No. Europeans were better at war, that's called tradition. The Prussians and French are better at land while the British are better at sea. The...
Well, 7 million tons in total is a lot (i don't know if it is total or not)... Germany produced 2 times the ammunition that the USSR produced in...
Well, there is the dude that claimed to shot 12 IS-2 with his Tiger II in a single engagement. But that's not impossible, the Tiger II had an...
My view in comparing the tanks: Armour: Sherman is better. Guns: Pz IV is better. Reliability: Roughly equal, the Pz IV was the most reliable...
In normandy it was 4.000 - 4.500 tanks and AFVs. So, I would guess a total of 12.000-13.500 tanks and AFVs lost between june 1944 and april 1945...

Thanks. For comparison, from the axis history site germany produced 7 million tons of ammunitions between 1942 and 1944.

Comparing the countries: Germany (1942 borders) Pop: 90 million (from 80 million in 1939) Coal production/consumption: 520 million tons Steel...
I would think that 15% US = 35% Germany in terms of industry. Germany had roughly 40-50% of US industrial capacity. Also, Germany had 80 (90...
