We all know the white guys who call themselves history buffs but only have a limited knowledge of WWII which is based on history channel documentaries.

It's usually pretty easy to shut those guys down by pointing out the equipment was on par in effectiveness and totally inferior for the war Germany was fighting.
If 1:1 performance is all that matters, the Maus was a great idea and Germany's MG42 and America's M3 were terrible downgrades.
If not being outgunned 100:1 is important, then you can just quote production numbers and mock Germany's less-specialized tooling/horse-based logistics/47623764 unique vehicle models, most of which didn't share parts, parts weren't manufactured, and basic maintenance like replacing a spark plug required shit like removing the entire turret.
I think you can understand how ineffective the equipment was for the war effort but still be extremely interested in it. (in fact, the amazement of how inefficient it was makes it more interesting tbh) The weird ones are people who talk about german tank/weapon superiority and fetishize generals/units
(nazi/soviet guns on ForgottenWeaponds is always an insta click for me personally lol)
i make one post about nazis and now it is all I've posted about for a day :amogus:
That's kinda me but with ships. The German navy in WW2 was hilariously bad in so many ways and their ship design was pretty much inferior to all other countries with any substantial naval power.
