Auftragstaktik aka Mission-type tactics was the distinguishing feature of Germans. A physical manifestation of their boldness in war.

i am sure no one will tell you that allied air force destroyed entire german cites or how the german civilians were treated after occupation

you are correct. In school we were taught how bad the Nazis were, but I would imagine the German civilians were treated worse by the allies? Do tell friend.

The most successful weapon of war was introduced by these fellows, Blitzkrieg.

The introduction to armoured warfare and proper use of tanks was introduced by them including support elements like mechanised/motorised infantry, self propelled artillery etc.

well to be fair it was not good vs evil both sides made mistakes but for example the germans treated the french good after occupation they were not so kind to russians. while german civilians were killed raped and jailed under occupation by the side who claims to be the good guys they used 2 nuclear bombs on japan their air force destroyed entire cites
i advice you to have a mind of your own to search for everything yourself and think about it

German tank destroyers Part 2:

Jagdpanzer IV/48 - Contrary to the rugged and ubiquitous StuG III, an assault gun also frequently used as a tank destroyer, the Jagdpanzer IV is based on the chassis of the Panzer IV, allowing for a longer gun and improved armour. This particular variant is armed with the 7.5 cm PaK 39 L/48.

Jagdpanzer IV/70 - Equipped with the 7.5 cm PaK 42 L/70 (also used by the Panther), this variant was meant to replace the IV/48.

Nashorn - Also known as the Hornisse initially. Fielding the feared 8.8 cm PaK 43/41 on a Geschützwagen III/IV chassis also used by the Hummel self-propelled gun.

Elefant - Originally chassis from VK45.01(P) heavy tank prototypes were converted into Ferdinand heavy tank hunters armed with the 8.8 cm PaK 43/2 L/71 gun, a variant of the famous AA gun of the same calibre but with a longer barrel. less recoil and an overhauled breech and loading mechanism. It first saw service during the Battle of Kursk but was withdrawn after the battle due to numerous problems. The surviving vehicles received various modifications, thus earning the new nickname Elefant.

Jagdpanther - Unlike its specialised tank brethren it fielded the heavier 8.8 cm PaK 43/3 L/71.

Jagdtiger - Based on a lengthened Tiger II chassis and carrying the 12.8 cm PaK 44 L/55 taken from the Maus.

Battle for Russia (Operation Barbarossa):

The Germans had a really good ear for music. Here was the official piece for Barbarossa as it would have sounded over the radio:

Probably liszt's finest work...and he got selected over Wagner which was a real surprise for many.

I doubt Liszt would have liked the Nazis though (he always identified as Hungarian first and foremost).
