Wolf, the Garand is far better than the Mauser. It is a repeating rifle your Mauser is bolt action. The Garand can fire more rounds faster than the Mauser. It is very accurate too, But i do think the MP 40 is fairly good.
As for tanks i think the German tanks are better than American. But the russkie T-34 was far better than any other tank of that era.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Just because it is not a bolt action, does not mean that it is better. I've argued this point too many times before, though. Suffice to say, the Mauser is considered the best bolt action rifle of the war, and, the best rifle overall, by many.
The T-34 was a good tank, however the Panther was much better, and was German. The Panther was also produced in the thousands, so it's not like the Tiger, in that it was rare to see on the battlefield. Heck even the Panzer IVF2 was a match for the T-34.
