'The Panzer V (Panther) was one vehicle which showed the effect of Hitler’s direct
interference. Drawings and prototypes of tanks heavier than the Panzer IV had been produced
by several companies, but the Supreme Command had shown no interest, declaring that there
was no need for them. The T-34 soon proved the OKW’s declaration to be untrue. There was a
need for a heavier German tank and that need was urgent. Production of the Panzer V began
during November 1942, and the first vehicles to be produced showed weaknesses resulting
from rushed development. Guderian warned, during his lecture, that the fundamental faults in
the Panzer V were of so serious a nature that the vehicle could not enter troop service until July
1943. Hitler was impatient to bring the new machine into service and actually postponed
Operation ‘Citadel’, the German offensive against Kursk, in order to use the Panther as the
principal weapon in that operation. The routes of advance to the Kursk battlefield were marked
with broken-down Panthers whose transmissions had not been able to cope with the great
weight they had to bear, and other tanks which had caught fire because of faults in the cooling
system. The poor performance of the Panthers was acknowledged in a High Command
memorandum which went on to highlight the fault of German production methods: ‘The demand
for replacement parts [for the Panzer V] could not be met … without interfering with production
of the vehicles…’

Breaking away from the Banking World, not so good when you can´t fight of their debt horses.

can you be more specific ?

In my opinion the biggest mistake was turning the USA against him. The lend lease and general support the Western Allies provided is known to few. The USA alone provided Equipment worth billions to the Soviet Union, and that is not adjusted for inflation.

As I read, there was never any official account of what Lend-Lease delivered, and a lot of it was 'smuggled' as well, however I've seen a study not too long ago that estimated it at around 11 billion dollars worth. Adjusted for inflation that is 190 billion dollars today. That is the USA alone. People overestimate the Economy of the Soviet Union a lot and at the same time underestimate that of the USA and of Germany too. The biggest problem the Germans had was manpower in the factories, had there been more manpower available for Germany they would actually have outproduced the Soviet Union, and they did so in some areas, even though Germany did not mobilize to a war economy before 1943. The Soviet Union also lost 90% of their oil supply to the Germans or destroyed it themselves in 1942 however the western Allies stepped up and delivered Oil and refined Fuel through Iran.

According to another study I've read conducted by the CIA the Germans had a very good shot at winning the war in the east, however this was vaguely formulated.

also good points .

i dont wanna be kill joy but some of these are reposts , meaning me or someone had already share them .
