  3. Your argument supports what I was thinking. Even if it was known that oil supplies would become a problem by the time the Panther and Tiger became operational, the fact remains that the Mark IV was inferior to the Russian tanks they were facing. So what options did the Germans have? 1) Continue to fight with an increasingly vulnerable tank; necessitating an increase in tank numbers at a time when diesel/petrol supplies were dwindling. 2) Move to a fighting doctrine that relied more heavily on infantry and artillery and less on armour; restricting tactical options. 3) Produce fewer, but more capable tanks that would outclass the T34 and JS1. Without the benefit of hindsight it is not difficult to see the attraction of the third option. The fact that both tanks suffered technical issues is not really relevant; UK and US leaders must have been absolute barmpots based on some of the tank designs we produced!

  7. Hitler's saviour could have been the British suing for peace; assuming that he was prepared to purchase oil/petrol from Venezuela and Iran.

  8. I am definitely in the "All content, but I have little interest in Stalingrad" faction I'm afraid. I feel bad that this is the case as it is obvious how much work goes into the Battlestorm videos, but I have never had much interest in the Eastern campaign. That said, do whatever you feel is necessary to achieve a good work/health balance. Best wishes going forward.

  11. Cannot agree, especially with respect to defence. What makes you think a "private army" would act in the best interests of the public and not the company/cooperative/whatever who raised them? How would a system of small competing private armies, even assuming that they were acting in support of the population, fare against a state with a single army using common methods and equipment? Their logistics would be crap and they would be slaughtered is how.

  12. I would buy that as a T-shirt
