"ah yes, the myth of the qualitatively superior Wehrmacht/ we have dismissed that claim"
Curious about this. Dupuy (QJM guy) in Understanding War: "My early efforts to quantify combat were at first frustrated by an unexpected phenomenon. The results of the initial analysis of World War II data showed that the Germans were consistently better in that war than the Americans and the British, whether they were attacking or defending, whether they were winning or losing. [...] It was not long before analysis of data from World War I battles demonstrated that the phenomenon of German combat effectiveness superiority in ground combat in World War II had been matched by a comparable superiority in that earlier war."
Goes on to quantify, asserts only US 88th Infantry was above German average, notes Germans classified them in particular as "shock troops."
