One of my favorite WWII books is the war as seen through the eyes of German soldiers.
What I remember especially is the German officer who was captured at Normandy and was allowed to witness part of the invasion landing. He asked, “Where are all the horses?”
The Germans were about to experience American industrial power.
What is really disturbing is that the oldest American SJW millennials will be old enough to run for the Presidency in 2020.
That’s a great point many don’t understand. German logistics were largely trains and horse drawn wagons, with the relatively few trucks mostly dedicated to support for armor, artillery and mechanized infantry units.
German infantry divisions walked to get from point A to point B in a road march. While U.S. infantry divisions nominally walked, in reality there were enough vehicles in attached units that had vehicles that pretty much everybody could get a ride. Sure, riding on the back deck of a tank, or jammed in the back of a truck mostly carrying artillery ammunition wasn’t comfortable, but it beat the heck out of walking.
Would that be Holger Eckhertz's book? Some grim stuff in there. My uncles never said a word about the use of white phosphorus in the ETO, but the Germans weren't so reticent. Uncle C was often asked by German POW's - he used to move them around and also had a few that did maintenance jobs - about "American semiautomatic artillery." Some of them were convinced that the volume of fire/ accuracy were due to some sort of "repeating" heavy artillery.

You might want to check out ‘Die Deutsche Wochenschau’-Nazi newsreels on YouTube. Many of them have English subtitles. Not only do you see the war from their point of view, but you can see them ‘putting lipstick on a pig’ when things start going badly. “The enemy says they have never fought against tougher troops” as the Normandy invasion pushes them back. “Our brave troops are taking more defensible positions...” Last one is about a month before the end showing “determined citizens” clearing the rubble from what used to be their cities.
