They still had horses till the end.
Scary isn't it. The US fought Germany and Japan with better equipment in many cases, but still had trouble.
Germany had some great weapons. But it's strongest asset was it's troops. They fought well, and they fought hard.
It *is* scary. Even with Hitler's miscalculations and blunders, Germany kept Europe at war for almost six years. It is hard to think what would have happened if the Third Reich had waited longer to start a war.
My dad was a WW2 vet and he told me that they used mules a lot during the war. One story he told me was about a sgt. yelling at 2 soldiers for beating on a mule. He told them that soldiers were a dime a dozen but mules were hard to come by.
