Their Wehrmacht Was Better Than Our Army (1985)

80% of the German casualties happened in the eastern front, and there is where the war occurred and was decided. It doesn&#x27;t matter if the Wehrmacht was superior or inferior to the US army.<p>A few months after the US was declared war, after the winter of 1941 to 1942, top German generals thought the war couldn&#x27;t be won. Germany was stuck between two fronts and was unable to make progress in any. With enough time the high or low quality US troops would be joining the war.<p>The Germans weren&#x27;t close to getting the atomic bomb, so the quality of the US army respective to the German army was irrelevant to the outcome of the war.
