RE: Were the Germans really that good?
Just my .02 worth.
Anybody who ever read The Rommel Papers would know that by sheer luck tha Hitler didn't like Rommel and vetoed all his Ideas on how to defend the atlantic wall. His defense ideas would of made the allies enploy a retreat off the beaches and made England and the U S come up with a favorable peace for them.
In Afrika he would of with 2 more divisions had taken northern Afrika to the suez canel. That would of opened up a whole new front to attack Russia and taken there oil fields making themvunerable to the same problems that Rommel suffered in the Afrikan front no fuel.
I know this is only one mans opinion but thankfully the germans didn't take there battlefield commanders thoughts into the planning of the war. it would of taken alot longer and ended with tha axis getting alot more than they did.
Thanks for your time
