I think we are all being too simplistic. AND living in the modern age. Back then people thought differently. That said, man for man, I don't suppose there was a great deal of difference. The advantages the Allies had were several, pricipally that the German war machine was becoming exhausted and young , partially trained troops had to be slung in to fill the gaps. And mentally, the Germans were beginning to realise they were on the losing side, and like in playing sports or poker, one is defeated by defeatism.
