Problem with WWII German tanks is they were overengineered to the point they broke down frequently on the battlefield. So often that more of them were destroyed by their own crews attempting to keep their technology out of Allied hands than the allies ever destroyed.
My old man, seeing them up close and personal in the Ardennes and later again in Germany had a vastly different view of them...
In his understated words - “yeah... you realize just how small your M1 Garand really was...”
Part of the problem with German mechanized equipment in general, and tanks in particular was that few German soldiers were not mechanically inclined or trained. Maintenance and repair required specialized troops and repair depots. American farm boys were used doing routine maintenance and making do with minor repairs on tractors and trucks during the depression. They performed routine maintenance in the field and often fixed up their vehicles in the field enough to get them back to a repair depot. Also, when retreating from the allies, the Germans didn’t have time to recover a disabled tank so they destroyed it to prevent it being used by the enemy.
