I know this list, there are some problem this list not showes...
1. reliable resource for Germany was only their own industry... a 1/3 of US at best...
2. slave labor made big problems in quality
3. most of the ocuppid economy was not able to be pressed into war production (expect Czech and partly France)
and most important factor US controlled at that time 65% of world oil production
The lack of enough oil was the biggest weak point for Germany.... throughout the war the Wehrmacht missed 450.000to fuel each month to run their exsiting equipment full... means they were always handicaped.
You know how bad your supply is if main task of a offensive is to capture enemy fuel points and depos.
Overall new anlyses free of propaganda in any form made a clear point about the 1941 German attack on the USSR... not the T-34 or KV1 stoped the Wehrmacht in fact the 1941 T-34 was a pice of crap that had no effect on the Wehrmacht at all.... not the Russian winter stoped the Wehrmacht... the real reason why the Wehrmacht run out of blood at the gates of moscow was the German generals... They simple had no clue in planing a large scale invasion were you not only need to carefully plan the attack...you also had to carefully plan the supply, replacement, refreshing, repair...and there the German high command act like amateurs. Later they build up the mythos of russian winter stoped the Wehrmacht...and the USSR praised the T-34 for doing so... but the bitter true is stupidly incompetent supply planing cost Germany the victory in 1941 and saved USSR from loosing Moscow. If the capture of Moscow would have won the war is a other question. You cant attack the largest sized nation on earth were you have to cover huge distances and fight a bigger Army by numbers and let your war production run on idle speed till u realize ...hey wait a moment we need badly more tanks, more men, more equipment more of everything... The large scale planing in Germany was so stupidly bad, that is shown that Germany started serious war production late 1942 and increased it in 1943 and 1944... the allied war production reached its peak already in 42/43 the time German leader started to plan about increasing. As a example to show how incompetent or pussys the german Generals was, the modern historyans take the fuel supply.... the German HQ knowed BEFOR attacking USSR that they have enough fuel for three months... only... September October November... they knowed in December the Wehrmacht will run out of fuel...as it happen at the gates of Moscow. The historyans seriously ask how somone can give order to start such a attack with zerro reserves...or had not the balls to tell Hitler that tis plan is a very bad idea at the stage of supply situation and will be not successful.
Later the same German Generals wrote books about the russian winter destroyed their strategy simple to cover their incompetence
