"If only Germany had more, used more, produced more." As if resources are limitless. This argument often used is historic fantasy.

@AFGuidesHD If I recall Stalin realized the German dependency on their oil. I honestly think Hitler didn't trust Stalin, rightly so. What they had to trade for the oil wasn't just resources. But also technology. Hitler believed he had no choice. Ever month that passed the USSR would get stronger. I'm pretty sure the Germans realized that after Finland the Soviets would learn from their mistakes and be a far stronger foe if left alone too long.

@Yora21 I'm under the opinion, that the German people would have needed to start peeing oil, pooping gold while taking fertility pills meanwhile developing excellerated growth magic spells to win the war. Otherwise by 1941 they were doomed. Even before Operation Barbarossa. USA was already pseudo involved in the war, and to be honest it was not a matter if but when they'd lose. The invasion of the USSR just accelerated their defeat. They would of only lasted long enough to get nuked first.

@whowereweagain "Who is to pilot those 24,000 planes." "Where is the fuel needed to operate them?" They had already produced throughout the war nearly 34,000 BF109s, combine that with Fw190s, BF110s, and various other aircraft. They couldn't operate the aircraft they had so why producing more would help? It's the same fallacy that is often used "They should of produced more Panzer IVs and StuGs." Ignoring the fact that they had so little fuel that they had to make training vehicles that operated off of WOOD GAS, just to do limited training. Most unique Tiger Tank of WWII used a Wood Gas engine for example only a few were made for training purposes for drivers, they didn't include a turret.

@Syn_1 Germans also ruthlessly bombed Polish cities on day one of the war. Before a single British pilot got off their tea break.

Your not firing from the gunner's view. Ju87 Stuka it's really easy to reach out to 400+ meters. Took out a P-36, and Hurricane M1 with my Ju87 D3 gunner yesterday. Hurricane was 0.56 out so over 500 meters.
