    Explanation: In WW2, the decision-makers of Nazi Germany increasingly prioritized ‘impressive’ and increasingly heavy tanks over the more mobile designs of the Interwar period and early WW2.

    Surely THIS ridiculous wunderwaffe will bring the Thousand-Year Reich victory! Do you not believe in the endsieg, TRAITOR?!

      Weeell that’s maybe a little bit too one-sided.

      Tanks got bigger on all sides, in a literal arms race. Later on, the smaller, less armored little guys from the beginning would just have been cannon fodder for any kid with a bazooka - let alone the stronger guns on tanks and artillery.

      The Germans DID go off the deep end, though, for sure. Still a nice meme, thank you, just wanted to add some context.
