Myth Number 1: Nazi-Germany built the world's largest military and military-industrial system during the 1930s. This myth has influenced the work of historians for generations. The plain fact is that the Germans were short of everything throughout the war -- manpower, tanks, planes, artillery, ammunition, etc. The invasion of the Soviet Union only demonstrated what the invasion of France should have.

True, but it what the Germans lacked in numbers they really made up for in sheer quality of weapons and troops.
