We will have to disagree, I guess. The Germans lost because they vastly underestimated the Soviets, their leadership and their commitment.
It doesn’t make any difference at all if the Sovs lost more tanks than the Germans. The important part was that the Soviets knew their equipment and forces and the ground. The Germans started retreating from then on.
I can never fathom how we get so many Germanophiles on the FreeRepublic. The Germans lost because they made bad decisions and they had a corrupt cause. Nothing is better than when evil is defeated.
By the way, the KV-1 was a mediocre tank whose only claim to fame is massive armor. It was slow and difficult to maneuver and easily defeated in combat. Conversely, we had to develop new anti armor weapons when it was our turn to deal with the excellent T-34.
Other than comic books, what actual experience do you have with armor?
Oh, only the fact that I commanded a Marine Corps tank Company. Co C, 4th Tank Bn, 4th MarDiv.
You?
You were doing well with your argument until you threw in the “comic book” comment. Why did you feel the need to do that?
