Overlord: Same resourse
Hey
I have often thought that what if the germans during operation overlord had the same military resourses as the allies?
You read stories of the crack german troops from the russian front tearing apart allied formation such as omaha beach (that was only remanents ote 352nd not the whole divsion). Or the reports of the germans expertly deploying there pak 43 AT guns in the headgerows of france. I read of 2 pak 43's destorying 43 tanks of a polish armoured divions equipped with shermans. Not to mention Germans crack Tiger commander Mike Wittman and his expert gunner Bobby (cant remember his last name) Destorying well over 100 tanks and assorted armoured vehicles with his tiger before being killed at normandy.
We have to remember that the germans at this time had virtually no airforce, there navy relied on battle cruisers, pocket battleships and there famous uboats. while the allies having over 5000 thousnads naval units both of the military type and conscripted civillian crafts, plus the hugh combined airforces of all the allied armies such as (England, America, polish, french) (plus anzac, polish, yugoslavian, french, norwegian, belgium, dutch, danish airmen, soldiers and sailors. that list does go on.) well all that verse the single power of germany, plus smaller austria, romania, bulgaria, and some ostruppen troops forced into action form the east nations.
if both sides had the same military power, with the germans having some of the best equiment ever seen at that time, plus some of the best military minds from prussia and germany. the germans could have taken the world.
any thoughts?
