  1. 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!
