Whatever about WW2, Germany's performance in WW1 was incredibly efficient. They had a complete plan for the western front, along with the logistics to back it up, including up-to-the-minute train schedules. It's been a while since I read the Guns of August, but Tuchman contrasts France and Germany's preparedness, and Germany seems the absolute pinnacle of efficiency.
