Ultimate pettiness from the germans will always be "French invention, manufactured in Germany" written on the aerial flechettes

This could also be used the other way round. "The Germans can only build things they have stolen from somebody else"

TIME FOR THE WARCRIME STICK

Is there a single page timeline of all these changes?

Like they started building mega tanks but then realized it wasn't working out because land mines would cripple them.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Actually, the mega-tank projects that they undertook were mostly abandoned because:

A. They were so heavy they literally sank into the ground

and/or

B. They were so slow they were sitting ducks for artillery

Up-armoring the tracks was one of the great innovations of tanks, and it took ad-hoc explosives rigged up as the first specialized anti-tank mines to get through to them.
