    Defeat of the Luftwaffe

    GDP def: "Gross domestic product (GDP) refers to the market value of all officially recognized final goods and services produced within a country in a given period.". I never said that GDP is measuring military production. I can't see the value in trying to calculate that, because all...

    Defeat of the Luftwaffe

    Yes, it does. The Gross domestic product is much more comprehensive way to measure actual production that to take the numbers of very very few cherry picked items. If you can't understand this simple fact there's no reason to continue this. This is a clear contradiction. What is really...

    Defeat of the Luftwaffe

    How come the decision of the main point of attack be taken by a Corps Commander (G) or a Chief of Staff of an Army Group? (M, later Corps CO). It can't, the decision was taken by the only man who was able to do that, I'm sure I don't have to name him... The Guderian-Manstein "connection", if...

    Defeat of the Luftwaffe

    Wrong. He wanted war with the Poles, not with the Allies. From the wiki (I know... but at least this is sourced):

    Defeat of the Luftwaffe

    Actually, it shows Germany outproducing both the UK and the USSR The graph (Harrison, "The economics of WW2") do not show "resources", nor those absurd claims that you are making. Not an exhaustive list. What about submarines? or explosives production?, just to name a few, that would show...

    Defeat of the Luftwaffe

    So, AA shells and submarines do not count?. What items do count? Show me how the SU outproduce Germany. I'd like to see some facts supporting that.

    Defeat of the Luftwaffe

    Perhaps you should pay more attention? Let me remind you Parsifal's ridiculous claim: Now, as I said before, a country need much more that "armaments" to wage war. Such division is meaningless. But, let's play it: show me that the Soviets produced "much more armament" than the Germans. I...

    Defeat of the Luftwaffe

    Really? Do you think that the US policy pre-Pearl Harbour qualifies as isolationist? Was just an expression. And, well, Hitler definitely was really surprised (shocked actually) when the Allied declared war on 3 September.

    Defeat of the Luftwaffe

    I don't think so (about the first point). Anyway, German aircraft/aircrew losses losses during pre-Barbarossa times (not all to the Bristish), while heavy, did not produce a decline in its overall effectiveness, proved by the fact that the years 1941-42 (especially the former) would witness the...

    Defeat of the Luftwaffe

    Maybe.. maybe not. And the opposite could also be argue. Anyway, this is not relevant to the point I was addressing. Wrong: Also, as it can be see, for all the talk about the British preparedness and efficiency, Großdeutschland outproduce the UK by a great margin for most of the war.

    Defeat of the Luftwaffe

    Good post. Also, its always easier to find allied for keeping the Statu quo, than for the contrary. I have some extra comments to the amazing (not a compliment) Parsifal's post: Let's see: Germany found itself in war with two great powers (UK and France), that everyone knew would be...

    The New Eastern Front

    Yes, I am aware of that. You have to pay more attention.

    The New Eastern Front

    OK, I was going from memory. Still, slightly above 2:1 is a long way from 50000:6000 (or worse, as was suggested). Interesting thing about those strength numbers, the moment when the Soviets had the better ratio (almost 8:1, and that moment also coincides with their better strength ratio for...

    Defeat of the Luftwaffe

    That's incorrect, most Pz.Brigaden were created around newly formed Abteinlungen, and only the 111-113 Brigaden were assigned existing Pz.Abt., not in process to convert to Panther, but actually recently formed, and in no case the divisions that were supposed to receive those Abt. were left only...

    The New Eastern Front

    Kursk was no disaster for the Germans (unless one think that a successful conclusion of the offensive would have serious consequences for the war in the East-I don't). The losses were not that great for them, and the ratio against the Soviet's was in line with have been so far (much bigger for...
