Top Fighter Aircraft of WW2

[Thundertaker]

Patton was over-egging the pudding when he said that. The vast majority of casualties where inflicted by crew-served weapons, artillery and air-power not personal infantry weapons. During the Franco-Prussian war the French Chassepot rifle was by far a better rifle in every respect than the German Needle Gun, but the French still lost because the Prussians had a comparable superiority to the French in artillery, which by that point was a far more important factor in winning battles.

Also consider that the Lee-Enfield was a considerably better battle rifle to the German Mauser K98 (more so than any appreciable difference between the Enfield and the Garrand, the latter of which also had its disadvantages compared to the former) and yet it took a lot more than a superior rifle before we were able to start kicking German ass...

I'm not trolling. Im just going by facts here. In WW1 the moment America enters the war the Germans are pushed back and they ultimately surrender. In WW2, the Germans win on all fronts until around 1942 when the US finally enters the picture. The truth hurts and youre angry about it.

Germany was not immediately pushed back when the US entered WW I..

Germany did realized that with the US entry in the war that they had to win the war quickly, before the US and their 100,000's of fresh troops got into the battle.. When they didn't win the war quickly the German Army was pretty much spent and demoralized by then..

I'm not minimizing the US role in the war, but Germany knew that if they didn't defeat England and France before 100,000 of fresh troops entered the war they would lose..They didn't defeat France, and then they did lose the war..

As far as WW II goes by 1942 the Russians had a little to do with the Germans starting to lose on all fronts.. Funny thing is Hitler pretty much stuck to his game plan he laid out in Mein Kampf... Except for not getting Germany involved in a 2 front war.. He completely fvcked up on that.. By 1944 Germany was fighting on 4 fronts( west, east, Italian, and the air war over Germany)
