Nothing surprising there. Its surprising that IIIrd Reich didnt surrender in 1943 or 1944 cause they had no chance for winning.

Add good equipment, skills, and experience in combat of mad scenarios. There is a good quote in "The Fury" movie script. - Why do they not just surrender? - says tanker. - You would? - says, tank commander. Whatever, however and with all its flaws it was their homeland.

Can you imagine the war of 1946? The Americans were ready to field the new T29, T30, T32, and T34 heavy tanks, M26 Pershing gradually replacing the Sherman. Germans were using the Entwicklung series tanks. The Soviets using IS-3s in great numbers. And the British are now using Centurion tanks. Well, it would be impossible because Germany would be atom bombed in July or August 1945. But still, the war would be more interesting.

Similar except the bit where centurions were FAR more reliable. Given that 6 tanks undertook 700 miles of driving and between them suffered 2 breakdowns averages at about 2400 miles between breakdowns in an early production tank. That's some 21 times more reliable than late production panthers, which were in turn twice as reliable than early Panthers. Centurion also not only had better crew dynamics compared to Comet, but was leagues ahead of Panther in terms of crew ergonomics, namely seeing out of the tank. All of these factors point to a far more reliable tank with a much higher probability to be shooting first.. Also the Centurion was famous for its cross-country performance with the performance on hills in Korea putting it where nobody expected a tank for example. Sure there wasn't many mountains in the lowlands to be using that sort of performance around, but the ablility to just fling the thing around expected routes of attack would've also chalked it up another one against Panther whose crews were cautious of boggy or hilly terrain due to their aforementioned reliability issues.
