RE: Were the Germans really that good?
Hey come on now. Not only was Rommel Germanys best General he in charge of the war effort all by his self would have won the whole thing. He was smart enough to realize that air superiority was the key. How many other Generals realized that. Rommel realized that in north Afrika and was trying to use his knolwage to defend the atlantic wall. All the other Generals wanted to wait and see where the main invasion would happen. He having been pummled by the British Airforce in Afrika knew that they would never be able to move troops any distance without the same result day or night. The Generals in the east front and in Europe never seen the results of it. Rommel having seen the devastation of unchecked airpower knew what would happen. The other Generals poor judgement in not believing him are the results that happened.
Now as far as the British standing alone after the fall of France, I think they got a little help. A lot of other countries sent them help. Maybe not men at the start but a lot of material. The invasion of France on D-Day would of never happened without the U S A taking the lead and showing them the way. Sorry to have ruffled so many feathers but its only my opinion.
