I love the comparisons between the perception of events at the time and the more recent research. It really demonstrates how biased and innacurate our perception of real time events can get, with different people often making mutually exclusive claims. For that alone, you deserve a huge amount of respect.

No wonder that it was the italian generals who handled the more successful north african defense (no use anyway, too much of a lopsided situation) after the complete reckless downfall on the offense. But they did bring AT weapons that could actually do something against the Matilda and create a feasible fight

Great video! One thought: Rommel claiming that the inexperienced Americans did well does not tell us much about the actual American performance. He has an interest in exaggerating his enemy's aptitude. The same phenomenon also explains the origins of the myth of absolute German military superiority. To cover up their own faults, the French, British and Soviet commanders exaggerated the doctrinal, technical and organizational strengths of the Germans. I am not saying people like Rommel and von Manstein weren't gifted commanders, Germans were badly organized or armed. All I am saying is, you don't ask someone who is bruised up and lost a fight how big their opponent was. They are bound to exaggerate.

He makes a persuasive case that opportunity cost makes Allied bombing more decisive than the direct cost suggests.

More like a combination: Moscow 1941 Stalingrad 1942-1943 Kursk 1943 Leningrad 1941-1944 All of these were essential as an ensemble to attritionally defeat Germany. It isn't about 1 battle, and contrary to myth, most wars are not decided by the 1 battle simplistic theory. Look at the napoleonic wars, the epitomy of the decisive battle myth: dig deep and you'll see it's never just one battle.

@@ZacharieGartner Exactly. And I can add a few more things to consider. Germanys late and incomplete transition into a full war economy. The failure of Germany to properly utilise its manpower in industry (including women). The German habit of continually upgrading vehicles on the production line, rather than introducing improvements in blocks thus slowing production. German reliance, especially in the latter half of the war on forced Labour leading to increasing issues in quality, not to mention actual sabotage. And thats before you start looking at the command and control issues, which were legion, and the failure to address logistics issues that had been highlighted as early as the battle of Poland in September 1939, yet not only did not improve, but actually grew WORSE, and not only because of Allied bombing! In 1943 the motor vehicle logistics component of a German Infantry Division was completely removed and replaced by horse drawn variants with the only exception being the Heavy Artillery Batteries. Its not only battles that are turning points, but also failures to address issues in command, control, communication, logistics industry that can lead to eventual defeat in an Industrialised modern war....

It is true that the impact of strategic bombing on German industry was disappointing through 1943, but what was not disappointing is that as a result of the bombing and other operations in the West, the Germans devoted much of their industrial power to the War in the West, while the war was being decided in the Ostkrieg. The Germans also bought Luftwaffe squadrons back from the East where they were destroyed by Allied fighters (early 1944).

How did they devote much of their industrial power to the West when most of their forces and resources to supply them went to the East? Same goes for Air Force - most of it was actually destroyed in the East during decisive years, because germans aren't stupid to not bring in more forces when the start to lose to consolidate. But apparently according to western view Germans kept their planes in the West even when crutial battles in the East were happening?

@@kindlingking When you say how "how" you are cutting to the quick of why Germany lost the War. Sending your men East and the supplies and equipment West is a war losing proposition, but this is precisely what the Germans did. You have to understand that just because you commit your men in one campaign, does not mean that the supplies automatically follow. These are two separate decisions. There are some basic issues here. 1) The Deutsche Ostheer was the great bulk of the German military in terms of MANPOWER, but it was only 20 percent motorized. Hitler sent 80 percent of the Ostheer east on foot with horse drawn carts. You don't get that impression listening to TV documentaries because Goebbels loved tanks. His cameramen were under orders to photograph tanks and other equipment, not infantry plodding east on foot with horse-drawn carts. 2) Something like half of German military spending was devoted to the air war. And the Luftwaffe was badly damaged in the Battle of Britain. This may seem stange, but the same is true of America and Britain as well. It takes a lot of industry to equip air and naval units. It does not take much industry to build horse carts. And when you add in naval spending, you can see starkly how much of German INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT went west. 3) The Germany Army was destroyed in the East, but the Navy and Air Force was destroyed in the West. This is why you keep hearing historians saying 80 percent of German casualties were in the East. That is true, but the well equipped units requiring so much of German INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT were the Air Force and Naval units in the West. I have run the numbers on this. YT does not permit hot links, but you can see the numbers in my WW 2 website, Just google "German Industrial Effort: Concentration on the War in the West" and add "histclo". Also you are apparently under the mistaken impression that the Luftwaffe was destroyed in the East. The German Army was, but not the Luftwaffe and Navy. Again I have run the numbers. Just google "European Allied Strategic Bombing Campaign: Turning the Tide (1944)" and add "histclo". There you can see on which fronts the Luftwaffe lost aircraft, quarter by quarter as the war progressed. I agree that the Germans are not stupid, but this is just what occurred largely for three reasons: 1) They were so successful n 1939 and 40 that they thought they could not be beaten. Once they invaded the Soviet Union and did not knock the Red Army out in 1941, they were locked into a two-front war of attrition they could not win. 2)The Germany Army was not well motorized and thus required less INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT than the Air Force and Navy. This was not a decision they made, it was simply the nature of the three services. 3) Once the Allies began bombing Germany in eanrest (1942), the Germans were desperate to protect their cities where INDUSTRY was located. From that point on, huge quantities of artillery and ammunition went to building FLAK defenses rather than supporting the Ostheer.
