Nice piks. Glad I'm not looking at those German guns through a Sherman hatch!

Some people say Eisenhower compromised too much to hold his coalition together, but look at the German squabbling - and they only had to deal with one nationality.

Hitlers insecurities....so many of his best armies where the SS mech divisions which he allowed to be chopped to pieces numerous times..then rebuilt.
E.G. ..Liebstandarte SS Adolf Hitler...which was rebuilt 4 times.

The SS Divisions got the better gear....then too..they did more *Dark work than the regular army.

Amazing too ..some of the leaders..Leibstandartes Sepp Dietrich was an absolute moron based on reports from his own....could'nt read a map or understand mech movement projection,
yet he was a Hitler fave..so he remained regardless.

There were other SS Division leaders who were *Death Angels...like Kurt Meyer,Paul Hausser.
