maybe earlier on perhaps with the pz I and pz II how ever as the war progress the germans had some of the best armour of the war the pather, tiger, hetzer, pz IV earlier on and the awesome sturmgesshutz III, as well as the hamburg halftrack used to ferry panzer greanadiers to the front the first of its kind (the birth place of the APC as we know it). All great weapons of war I could go on about armour thickness and shell veloicty and how the mere mention of a single tiger being in front of an advancing colum could halt it. but i'm sure you already know all that. The british armour at the time was generally inferior to german tanks look at the crusadar and cromwell, the comet was under gunned and lightley armoured and the honey (AKA M5 stuart) was no good as a battle tank. the only good tank was the 75mm M4 sherman and the 17 pounder firefly . and the americans just look at there M10 wolverine what idiot would create a battle tank designed as a tank killer, design it with an open top, thats just asking for an enemy grenade. and don't get me stated on the pershing, the suppossed match the tiger. I don admit that the hitler went over the top with his 'biggist is best' theory such as the elephant(failure) the bismarck and tirpitz were asking for trouble and the king tiger we that thing in a stationay position was a great weapon, pkus the jadgpanzer and jadgpather lefta bit to be desired.

besides even if the germans were inferior, just look at how many years, mean, machines, and different nationalitys armies it took them to win

so i think your quote there is a bit off see they used horses quite a bit diring the war bit in terms of mechinization they were second to none the allies feared german armour espicalliy the SS panzer divions.

now lets look at germany's generals, amazing Erwin Rommel's tank atatics were second to none, rundstedt was an awesome army commander Model became hilters 'fireman' ( to fix up his problem areas that caught ablaze), Von paulus on the russian front, the list goes on and on.

while allies well, mont was the best, followed by einshower, patton was an idiot. the only reason the allies won normandy was luck with the weather, superior over whelming numbers of men and armour, complete air superiority and because hitler was an idiot and a terrible tactian who really should have listened to his generals.

although the allied mulberry harbour and the flail tanks and the brisith avre corps were quite amazing.

oh and thankyou JCFalkenbergIII that info on the 352nd was quite extensive and impressive i didn't know that existed thankyou.
