Did the allies in World War 2 damage German Production?

In his interview with Dean Lawrence R. Velvel about his new book, "Cross of Iron: The Rise and Fall of the German War Machine, 1914-1918" , John Mosier suggests no. Mosier makes stunning revelations about the German army's operational effectiveness, it's complicity in Nazi crimes and the roots of it's successes.

This is myth. Bombing Germany didn't damage Germany. They had built 36 000 airplanes in 1944 - 60% more than in 1943. And they built up almost 40% more tanks in 1944 than in 1943. After oidfields taken by red army - Germany production of oil collapsed heavily.

Westeterns don't want to hear about this. It's too much against the legend of bombing campaign.

I have no idea who these fat slobs are, but my mother, grandmother, and I had to flee our house in Breslau (now Wroclaw, Poland) with the last train from that encircled city. Eventually, we immigrated to the US, where I served as Intelligence Operations Officer of the US 4th Armored Division, and then to Vietnam, as Advisory Team Leader north of Kontum, and ultimately at Trung Lap, in the heart of the "Iron Triangle".

@tranmere789 Germany had better tanks the tiger 2 couldn't be penetrated by any tank in WW2 and the tiger 1 was almost as strong it was only late war tanks that could defeat its Armour the only mid war Allied tank that could destroy an tiger was the sherman firefly and in only tank that the Russians had was the IS-2 witch both were inferior to the panther and the tiger 2 the only tank that could take the panther was the US perishing tank

both the USSR and the US where spamming crap tanks

My dad a WWII guy cried when he saw the planes take off to bomb Dresden, a city with a lot of refugees. We are not innocent by any means.

yea but the bombing made for good entertainment back home

Mosier has also destroyed the myth of blitzkrieg. The truth is that bliezkrieg wasn't the strategy by German commander. War in Poland and even in France wasn't so "splendid" triumph for german tanks. Actually in many cases ordinary infantry battalions was key factor. And Luftwaffe likely damaged brains of allied commanders than allie forces physically. German tanks were mostly out of time, french had more tanks and in same level. Russians had better tanks+ 8 times more than Wermacht got.

mossier is right.

[thomasuras]

Lick this guy never ran out of cheese Burgers, Damaged bridges railroad roads, and I don't care what he says when your home town and ,mom grand parents great uncles are getting bombed into the stone age it will take its toll on you.
