However, I just got sucked into looking at a whole bunch of immaculate armament at the Littlefield collection. I'm not sure if I should thank you or not, it's late and I need to get up early

BUT - it's obvious that it's not for lack of effort at the nazi engineering department that they lost that war. For instance - This is a jack mounted to the fender of something heavy:

I mean, look at the engineering detail in the jack and it's companion wood block (steel reinforced!) and then check out the way it all mounts to the fender! Unreal.
As we all know, the Germans build good stuff.
