Ultimate pettiness from the germans will always be "French invention, manufactured in Germany" written on the aerial flechettes
This could also be used the other way round. "The Germans can only build things they have stolen from somebody else"
HYUCK HYUCK MOTHERFUCKER
TIME FOR THE WARCRIME STICK
Is there a single page timeline of all these changes?
Like they started building mega tanks but then realized it wasn't working out because land mines would cripple them.
Actually, the mega-tank projects that they undertook were mostly abandoned because:
A. They were so heavy they literally sank into the ground
and/or
B. They were so slow they were sitting ducks for artillery
Up-armoring the tracks was one of the great innovations of tanks, and it took ad-hoc explosives rigged up as the first specialized anti-tank mines to get through to them.
Then the Canadians show up with their shovels and frying pans and all hell breaks loose
