- magduf 7y agoNo, they lost because, even with better engineering (at least for the Germans), they couldn't match America's industrial production capability. American tanks (esp. the Sherman) were total crap compared to German tanks, but they could pump them out at many times the volume the Germans could. Quantity over quality. In addition, America was protected by two large oceans, so its industrial production capabilities were never affected by the enemy. Germany's factories were constantly being bombed. And finally, on top of all that, America entered the war late, and by that time Germany was already softened a lot from fighting with France, Britain, Russia, etc. If they hadn't been stupid enough to invade Russia, we might not be having this exchange.
