If the German tanks in the African Campaign were as much better than the British tanks as the English claimed why did they suffer such high losses in operation Crusader or Gazala?

While German implements of war were engineered well and well manufactured, they were perhaps a little TOO finely engineered. They ran well, had better capability than any other tanks, but they required too much maintenance. The desert sand wore at the finely machined mechanisms and since the German tanks were engineered to be so tight, the tanks failed as the parts wore or were blocked with sand. The Germans continued to engineer the way they did everything else, they were rigid perfectionists and could never acknowledge that their ways needed to be changed. If you go to the Smithsonian Air and Space museum, you'll be able to see a German fighter airplane alongside a U.S. fighter airplane of the same vintage. The Germans had done the same thing with their airplanes. The United States manufacturing machine would push out far more airplanes than did the Germans. Which would be better? More airplanes that were lighter and cheaper and disposable, or fewer airplanes that comming off the assembly line and required maintenance at a far higher rate?


What was the weakness of the Panther tanks?

After their mechanical problems were solved and the Panther tanks finally went into action in 1943, their main weakness was that they were just too good, and consequently there were not enough of them. They took longer to build and required more material than Germany had to spare. It was a high performance tank, and it required more maintenance to keep it operating. Individually, the Panther was a better tank than the Allied medium tanks (US Sherman, Canadian Ram, British Cromwell, Russian T34/85) but it could not compete with them numerically. The Panther was a tactical success and a logistical failure.

What was the impact of German panzer tank on war?

Just part of the natural evolution of modern warfare. Not that big of deal actually, the French tanks in France in 1940 were actually better than the German tanks that conquered them in 1940. The men behind the machines made the difference...not the tanks. The Russian T34 was better than most German panzers in WWII. So what was the German panzers impact on the war? Males just love anything German, no particular reason, just cool stuff.
