North american war production
North American war production ( Canada-USA ) is what defeated the German tanks, not the Sherman nor the 6 pdr.
While the Germans had the best tanks, the allies had the most and in overwhelming numbers ( 5 -1 ) .
The Allies had a pipeline going from the artificial ports of Normandy almost right up to the German border while the Germans were running out of gas during the Ardennes counter-offensive ( Dec 44 ) . Hitler wanted his Panzers to push the Allies back into the Atlantic with his tanks running on captured Allied gas... What a workable plan that was !
Anyway, very able and convincing demonstration you have made my friend Alastair !
Cheers.
Bob
