Field Marshall Karl Gerd Von Lundstedt said that the three factors that caused the German defeat were ;
1. Germany had no oil.
2. American oil contribution amounted to SIX Billion barrels out of the SEVEN Billion barrels, consumed by the Allies. Most of the oil coming from Texas.
3. For D-Day a huge ‘Oil Pipeline’ between England and France was built under the Channel.
3. The ‘Allies’ overwhelming 'Airpower."
4. The Lend-Lease Act of the USA supplied the Soviet Union so they could fight the Germans with more than 400,000 jeeps and trucks, 14,000 aircraft, 8,000 tractors and 300,000 vehicles, and 13,000 battle tanks. Boots, clothing material, radios etc. Totalling $180 billion in today's currency.
