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?
