What You think was wrong with 1., 3. – 7., 12. – 14., 16., 17. and 24.PzDs and PzGrD GD with usually are counted as among the best divisions of WM. All were in the East iduring summer 44

....Nd the vast majority of SS-units move to west, idea was just to hold the front, nd wait for a miracle or the Wunderwaffen..




but the Allies were always going to 'out-produce' the Germans since the latter had no means of hitting major Allied production centres -whether that be America or the Urals- surely a major failing of Luftwaffe planning, procurement and strategy..? of course ultimately the Luftwaffe finished the war with the same pre-war types in service (109, He111, Ju 87 etc etc), whereas the Hampdens and Whitleys had long gone..

The brits finish the war with 1946 models like the spifire, nd the beaufighters, Germany with 1918 models like the Ar234 nd Me262

No necessity to go on that way, the strategic-war is merely the ressource-war, without gas, rubber, "special metals" ...the better is to expect that war will not last,
when you hv the good allied-steel you could produce good bombers those with turbo-compressors not using coupled-fighterengines
