> DailyMail is low brow
That's not why people avoid the Mail, nor its poor/working-class associations. They publish poorly-researched scientific stories, have institutional racism, sexism, & homophobia, & rewrite stories from other news outlets with minimal credit. They also support & push the agenda of the right-aligned political parties (fascists in the 40s, Conservatives, now UKIP).
> Likewise you could praise the Nazi's for their warfighting ability
So this was a fiction put up by the British post-war historians, since many Wehrmacht officers relocated to the UK after WW2, and the military historians fawned over them + the fiction "small force of exceptional warriors attacked and held off the Communist hordes" went down well with the general reading public in the midst of the Cold War. Liddell Hart disputed this.
You can learn from their battlefield doctrines and copy their battlefield arms, but their inability to hold strategic oil resources & coming second in the technology races meant that, despite their fighting, they lost the war.
