  1. Lindybeige has an excellent account of British 57mm six pounder anti tank guns at the second battle of El Alamein. The German Panzer IV tanks were taken out time and again by this small but highly effective field gun. They were light and easily deployed by a small crew and delivered a repeat performance after D-Day. What they lacked against the thickest tank frontal armour they made up for by remaining hidden and hitting them in the side. One gun crew took out two Tiger 1 tanks (actual tigers that is).

  2. A Allied daylight bombing campaign was highly successful in depleting the Luftwaffe. Goering sent few aircraft because he had few planes, no skilled pilots and minimal fuel.
