Were the Germans really that good?

[Steel God]

Now come on lads, you knew I didn't mean fully mechanised - now didn't you? :rolleyes:

Weelllll, given the context of your argument, no I wasn't sure you did. Because you see, the point of your statement was that the Germans Army was better because it was mechanized, and the counter point was that they were no more mechanized than their opponents, andin fact, a good bit less mechanized. As fastphil rightly states, the germans certainly made better use of the mechanized units they did have (compared to their enemies) but that's the whole crux of the matter.

I agree Rommel probably wasn't Germanys best commander of the War... but I was on a role and it fitted my argument :P

good discussion points all.....

LOL, the noble tradition of making the facts fit. ;)
