WWII

[reverendjeremiah]

And that is why I point to the T-34 as the single most important factor in winning the war.

Not just because it was arguably the best tank in the world at the time, but also because of the industrial capacity that it was merely the tip of.

For every Tiger or Panther that the Germans fielded the Russians could produce eight T-34s.

And with that sort of equation happening the Germans were never going to win.

The Second front in the west was merely icing on the cake.

From what I have heard, the Germans took their time to create high quality tanks, going above and beyond the bare minimum for their abilities. Perhaps it would be correct to assume that if Germany had the same type of tanks (tiger/panzer), but with the resources and work population of Russia, it might have been the other way around.
