There were around 15000 planes of all types made in Britian during 1940. There were closer to 11000 made in Germany that year. What is more portent is that of those 11000 only 1500 were the Me 109. However small this number may appear it was larger than the number of fighters produced in England up to and during the BoB. I have the numbers for that at home and will get them for you later.

LOL
, Okay I will try to regain some composure. Not untill 32 did Germany even begin to
develop your weapons that they were stockpiling. That is only if you consider the Panzer I a weapon of modern warefare. At the begining of the war Germany had fewer tanks than France and Russia, and perhaps even Britian. Not to mention that Germanys tanks were the worst in the world.

Seriously you dont believe this do you? The only nation that left Germany behind in total production was the US. Yes Russia made lots of tanks and planes and other military weapons, but at a cost to other produstion like trucks and food. Which they got from the US. Had Russia had to produce everything it needed by itself its numbers would have been much closer overall to that of Germany.
