10% of the German army were mechanized. Still in 1938 the French defense budget was higher than the German. The Blitzkrieg tactics were established by Guderian and Rommel who used their poor Panzer 1 and 2 as a unit. Blitzkrieg was necessary by the low ammunition reserves of Germany. For the Poland raid Germany had only ammunition supply for 6 weeks, in the case of howitzers only for 2 weeks. Battle of Britian was a fool's mission. Shot down british pilots drove back to their airbase flying the next free fighter. German pilots became prisoners of war. The Me262 story in the vid is wrong. The first german jet flew in 1939. But Luftwaffe does not see any need for it, because they were so superiour in the Spanish Civil war. The development was delayed for 3 years. What MHV mentioned was started end of 43. The vid quotes another bullshit about german strategic bombers. Göring said, my Führer do not ask me, how big are your bombers, but he will ask me, how many bombers are ready for action. The OKW saw no necessity for strategic bombers caused by the Blitzkrieg. The whole war was not prepared, the Ural bomber was debated by the desperated start of Barbarossa and hindered by the idea, that such a strategic bomber had to be a Stuka.

Wrong, the Germans had a Maybach Panzer Diesel engine, but did not used it. German tanks not using a diesel engine were all misconstructed. And from the datas Panther was the best tank, but brought into action with only a few hours of trials.

@packr72 bullshit.....only one times in 44 the Germans were superiour in numbers over France. No allied plane flew alone....
