Re: High Tech German military
i think the german army is the best because they fared as well as they did with horses and cows and bicycles. and i dont thinks the americans had an assault rifle, a jet, or tanks fitted with infra-red night vision sights.

Re: High Tech German military
From what I have read quite a few were surprised. Especially after hearing all the propaganda about the "Awesome" Wehrmacht. I wonder what the pilots that were doing the strafing thought when they were slaughtering all the horses  .

Re: High Tech German military
And no one is doubting that. That is not the purpose of the thread. Nor has anyone stated so.  . But it appears that those who are in awe or has the view that they were "awesome" tend to think so.
