Germans, as they do sometimes, over engineered magnificent machines - so great were they that they could not be mass produced..........................

Sounds a bit like America has a tendency to do in the years since WW 2. High dollar, and the best is the norm. Instead of small, agile, safe and inexpensive. Witness the numbers of Carriers that really will be sitting targets in any new full out war. I think there was a Sci-Fi book where one side kept upgrading until they had the very best machinery, but were beaten because of the “changing horse in mid stream” phenomenon.
