When the Allies made their landings on 6 June 1944 they were opposed by exactly 2 German fighters.
One of the 2 was Pips Priller...
No matter what you say the German fighter pilots thought the P-38 was a sitting duck for them...Read Horrido by Trevor and Constable
Also are you going to argue with Adolf Galland...about the difference the ME262 would have made if it had been introduced earlier?
Can you say Schweinfurt and Black Thursday...on a couple of missions the US lost about 120 bombers in October of 43. This caused the US command to discontinue daylight raids until early 1944 when the P-51 was introduced. Read Martin Caidins Black Thursday...
The T-34 always suffered horrendous losses..The Russian idea of maneuver was to line up 20,000 men and say charge, if that didn't get er done they would line up another 20,000 and do it over again until the Germans caved... Read Hitler Moves East and Scorched Earth by Paul Carrel. Also Guderian's and Manstein's memiors.
