German Tank Production in World War 2: Military History
During World War Two Nazi tank tactics were effective in the field. But it's industrial production was inefficient until mass production methods were introduced in 1942. Tank production was considerably higher in1943 and 1944 but by then tank factories were subject to bombing, vehicles were subject to sabotage by slave laborers and new generation tanks were far more expensive. So Germany could not produce the number of competitive tanks its needed.

lak Towers: Effective or not?
Flak towers were built in Belin, Hamburg and Vienna during World War Two to combat Allied bombing.

Where are Russia's T-80s?
Bernhard is wondering why Russia has not committed any T-80 tanks to the Ukraine conflict. His best guess is they offer little advantage over older tanks in the type of fighting in Ukraine and they are much more expensive to operate. Also over 25% of Russia's T-80 inventory seems to be missing.
