    the constant exaltations of German 'quality' is so fucking pathetic. Yeah, German engineering, so superior in its understanding of logistics that you need a ball bearing that only operates with its own circuit board and is shipped from the Mines of Moria to construct a steel box that moves.

    They knew logistics so well that their tanks needed 50,000 different parts just to operate while Russian tanks were literally modular toasters that could be retrofitted with a mini textile mill.

    Like, genuinely, German cars are about as fucking shite and unreliable as American cars, and that's saying something.

        The first German to find an AK-47 must have thought it was ancient alien technology.

        What? You don’t want a watchmaker to make your guns for you?

        Laugh if you must but I have a soft spot for the G11 because it's so odd and experimental

      And on top of that their quality control was so bad that even within the same model if a part was from a different factory (or even just a different production run in the same factory) it was incompatible.
