Arguably the most cutest tank of the war :) |

So they ordered 800 in "late 1943", and by War's end a year and a half later (May '45), they had only produced 100? That would have been what, a couple week's production run for Detroit? I've always wondered about the vaunted "efficiency" of the Nazis, and the mind-blowingly poor production they had. |

Remember my friend that since 1942 the factories were under heavy bombing.

Rod, read Tooze's 'Wages of Destruction', for the full horror story of Germany's 'economic efficiency'. |

Tango – Yes, the factories were under attack, but we have (apocryphal?)stories about parts for one tank not fitting into another tank of exactly the same make, because they were "hand crafted". Heck, early on, Henry Ford thought Hitler was the bees knees, he couldn't have passed on some pointers? I'm in no way a scholar of WWII, so I may be totally off base here… |

Actually I'm reading a book about the military industrial performance in all the countries ocupied by the germans.
They show a terrible lack of good work from the beginning.
And the germans (incluiding the use of torture and fire squad) never can managed with them (strikes included)
The "slave" work in germany (by prisioners of war or forced civilians) never work well also.
Only the original military heavy german industries work well, and those has been the primary target of the Allied Air Force from day one. Amicalement

There was a Ford subsidiary in Germany, turning out trucks. A GM subsidiary (Opel) as well. |
