According to statistics, over the entire existence of the Third Reich in Germany, a little more than 50,000 tanks and self-propelled guns were produced - two and a half times less than in the USSR; and if we also count the Anglo-American armored vehicles, then the numerical superiority of the Allies was almost six times. But, despite this, the German tank troops, which became the main striking force of the blitzkrieg, conquered half of Europe for Hitler, reached Moscow and Stalingrad and were stopped only by the colossal tension of the forces of the Soviet people. And even when the war rolled back to the west, until its last day, the Panzerwaffe remained a terrible enemy, capable of delivering brutal blows and huge losses - both on the Western Front and on the Eastern.
