Re: Response to Glider and Juha.

1. A StuG is a German AFV and a SU is a Russian AFV. They might have the same name when translated to English but using the name for another country's vehicle is not correct. The Wespe and the Hummel were the German SU's. When Rudel showed up with his Ju-87G most StuGs were used in the anti-tank role.

2. Well that is a new one.

3. OK, misread.

The all-arms systems developed by Russia and Germany were both war-winning in that they both won wars.
At some cost I might add. Over 8.6 million dead and missing and 15 million wounded and survived for the USSR. Some 5.5 million for Germany, though not all were on the EF.

Neither had a strategic bombing force which tied up German resources that could have been put to good use on the Eastern Front.
