@CliftonvilleRd@_Akaeru@Penguin31337 Britain put the nail in the Reichs coffin on September 3, 1939, two weeks before the Soviets got involved.
Oh sorry, two years, forgot the Soviets were allied with the Germans so it doesn’t ‘count’.
@CliftonvilleRd@_Akaeru@Penguin31337 “Stalingrad and Kursk,”
Knows nothing of the eastern front award.
America was in Africa in 43, and in Italy in 43. In less than 11 months they went from Normandy to the Elbe.
The USSR took 3 1/2 years to go from Rzhev to Berlin 💀
@CliftonvilleRd@_Akaeru@Penguin31337 And they were punished, severely with things like executions.
While the Germans orchestrated slave brothels for their troops and raped every woman they came across in the east.
Crazy how you just keep adding horseshit to a discussion on panther losses.
@CliftonvilleRd@_Akaeru@Penguin31337 The US got involved 5 months after the USSR, the UK won in 1940 but not surrendering.
The USSR is responsible for only around 60-65% of German combat losses, they’re severely overstated.
@CliftonvilleRd@_Akaeru@Penguin31337 They took less than 300k casualties on 3 continents against countries that they caused millions against. The Germans have nothing on the American kill statistics.
@CliftonvilleRd@_Akaeru@Penguin31337 The US was also very willing to do recon by fire and utilize its scout assets better since it was more mechanized.
@CliftonvilleRd@_Akaeru@Penguin31337 A grasshopper flies over, calls out enemy armor. American Tanks or TDs then maneuver relative to the position of the German armor to hit it from the sides (which the Germans also did because flanking is better than a fist fight)
@CliftonvilleRd@_Akaeru@Penguin31337 Panthers destroyed by 75mm AT fire that was not directed by AT guns.
Aka panthers destroyed by Sherman tanks during the advance across France.
@CliftonvilleRd@_Akaeru@Penguin31337 3rd Armored division from D-Day to Germany had a 1.45 KD against Panthers using Shermans. As in Sherman’s destroyed more panthers.
@_Akaeru@E_Hartmann_194@Kelvin_MkI (All nations did this but the Germans were especially egregious as they never amended kills. IE Staudeger in his Tiger I claiming 50 T-34s yet Soviet records for that week show two tanks lost in the sector and neither to an 88)
@_Akaeru@E_Hartmann_194@Kelvin_MkI That engaged a Soviet T-34 column around Stalingrad and knocked out I think half to 3/4 of the tanks? As in both sides records confirmed the action, not the usual Nazi bullshit where they claim more tank kills than tanks in a Soviet armor corps.
