The one thing I´d like to think is that with Wehrmacht in Blitzkrieg the co-operation was with Luftwaffe wheras the Red Army had its weight on the artillery use.

Indeed, Kai, but as we discussed in another thread ("Most effective air force", I think), the Red Air Force focused entirely on achieving local but complete air supremacy over critical sectors and then turned its full strenght and numbers into ground support. The Red Air Force was almost entirely a tactical air force, not strategic. I think the achievements of the 1939-1942 Luftwaffe were overshadowed by the new Red Air Force.
