  1. the germans said they were better, but they would say that. in fact, every one, literally everyone, said the german army was the best. didn't matter: hitler said in 'mein kampf,' this will be a war of extermination, and when it became clear he meant it people stopped surrendering. german letters and diaries started reporting, "these guys never give up!" there are plenty of 'mitabins' in the conduct of the war, but the simple fact was that soviet munitions production surpassed german at the first day of the war, there was a blip while production was moved to the urals, but supremacy was re-established by the time the wehrmacht got to moscow. almost to moscow. at that point, hitler became a walking dead man.

  2. typical: they coined a new word in the red air force, a label for the process of using your propeller to damage enemy aircraft. generally fatal for both, but the reds knew '1 for1' was winning strategy.
