oh oh, time for my 2 cents!
the germans DID train harder and longer.... as we all know the Hitler Youth were BORN soldiers... born and bred to fire a gun etc etc...
but that is beside the point... hitler WASNT ready for war... he had lots of troops and supplies... but he wasnt ready for HIS expectactions.... when the war started he still had hoped to have quite abit more to work with... so in truth there COULDNT have been a 75% hitrate and kill rate... because well first off... this is humans and in the face of death... sometimes its hard to make the first shot count always...
and second... yes they did send SOME inexperienced and undertrained soldiers into battle... dont you people remember near the end of the war? whole squads and groups of germans comprized of mainly 16 year old boys who just were handed rifles and told to defend a point???
come on... 75% is a bit much... i dont care if you can shoot the nuts off a squirrel... you will still miss alot more then that.
and like they said... did they go out and count the bodies and then do a load of math combined with the bullets left + the bullet holes in the bodys? jesus... its just not statistical to do that in a war.
