Panzerj

Disqualifies you from the discussion.




It was you can not compare it with countries like the United States which ultimately had more of everything troops, tanks, planes.....


As for the Bren carrier if it was used in the Eastern front in good numbers its a simple conversion to make it German but it

would also require a bit of texturing.
You don't know what you are talking about, the Germans were spinning like Tops. They invented speed after all, it was a battlefield innovation like penicillin was for the West. And meth it is addictive enough that after a person uses it once, they are likely to get hooked... taking it at any opportunity.

The Germans were far less motorized than all of the Allies by the later War years. What do you mean "can't compare"? the USA was fully motorized, unlike the German Army, which still used horses. The 2 1/2 tonne truck was one of the most important tools used to beat the Germans.

The German army was the most motorized nation in europe! If it wasnt most of their military manuvers would not have worked.
Blizkrieg the lightning warfare the German were known for demanded a fully motorized army to quickly drive into the country to overwhelm and catch the enemy off gaurd. France, Poland, Bararbossa 1941-1943, Afrika campaign,and Operation Krete are all good examples of a motorized Germany.

It in desperate condisions (such as Stalingrad) and as the war worsened for Germany (late 1944-1945) they had to rely on any means necessary to mover supplies and equipment.

Sorry, but that's way wrong.
The German army was far from being motorized. Most of their infantry had no motor transport. A large majority of their artillery and logistical chain was horse drawn right up to the end of the war.
I think the British army was more motorized than the Germans. As far as I know they didn't use horse transport. The Americans and Canadians were completely motorized.

In the desperate conditions of Stalingrad that you mention I guess the Germans had the advantage of being able to eat their transport...

Where do you get this from? it defies everything in the history books.

The Germans allways lacked motorization, the majority of their troops had to march to the fight, and much of their eqipment was horse drawn from the start till the end.

Blitzkrieg was not about moving massive forces quickly, Germany could not do that, it was all about the element of suprice, and taking out as much of the enemy's vital defenses and infrastructure before the main assault got there, it was fought with few well equipped forces and not whole armies.

And it was the Luftwaffe that was instrumental in this, and this is also why it worked so well in the beginning but failed in the end, German bombers where the cream of the crop when the war started, but they failed to replace them later, and worse, they failed to field a long range bomber, both the western allies and the USSR could produce and store vital equipment and resources out of their reach, all whilst pounding the Germans at home and on the fronts.

And yes, German troops did take Meth.
