Good info, Kai. This goes further to show the problems germany had with resources and materials. Before even considering the question of increasing production, we would have to look at the german forces already in the field. Besides the low unit strengths, even further to the point is the numbers on "combat-ready" tanks. Out of these combat ready tanks, many were PzIs and IIs, which. although battle ready, were of limited value. And the ones that were not battle ready- it is very likely that, even at this early point in the war, resource problems and shortages were already hampering germany's armored and mechanized forces.
