I am a ww2 buff...(historian? expert?)
at the time of D-Day the Germans had about 600 main battle tanks available for battle from all war theatres.
they included Panthers,panzers (of course) Tigers and King Tigers (Tiger II) all of these tanks were better than the USA's Sherman Tank
(M4 Medium Tank)

BUT!

The Americans had 20,000 Shermans!! FOR THE EUROPEAN THEATRE ALONE!

think about it!
20,000!!!

When The americans, canadians and british landed at normandy the german defenders said " they have more ships than we have fucking bullets!" Imagine looking out and seeing 7000!!!! ships!!!
They said "there are so many ships the rest of the troops will be able to walk across!!!"

Here's one more.....An Aircraft Carrier is the epitome of navel and air power a crew of 1000's and 30-70 attack aircraft..
The Canadian Royal Navy had ONE! once!
How many AIRCRAFT carriers did the USA navy have at the end of WWII??
The German navy had NONE!
(4 were partially built)
How many did USA have???
Guess!
