If Germany had added 20,000 Tiger tanks in World War II, would they have won?

If these 20,000 tanks can really play a practical role, then even if the United States, France and Britain fight at the same time, Germany will not be intimidated.

But do you think it's really possible?

You must know that in the late stages of World War II, Germany's logistics had already begun to collapse. What's more, there are 20,000 more tanks at the unprovoked end, who will give you the logistics to rectify?

20,000 tanks were put into the battlefield at one time, not to mention Germany, which is short of oil, even if the US imperialists dug up the Middle East in advance, it would not be enough.

Maybe many people don't understand how terrible the number of 20,000 tanks is, and the author will also explain it to you carefully.

1. What exactly is the concept of 20,000 tanks?

The available data available to the author are: from 1942 to the end of August 1944, Germany produced a total of 1,355 Tiger tanks.

Germany's Tiger tanks destroyed nearly 10,000 Allied tanks on the battlefield and damaged 1,715 of them themselves (which were still in stock).

But even if less than 2,000 tanks were destroyed, Europe was about to be overturned. <>

So, what is the concept of 20,000 Tiger tanks with another tenfold increase in this number?

Even if the United States during World War II played in person, it would not work, after all, it would take time for the United States to riot into the army.

And if Germany can put 20,000 Tiger tanks on the battlefield at one time (regardless of logistics, they can all exert actual combat power), regardless of whether it is a woolly bear or Britain, they will have to kneel in front of the steel torrent.

But the above events are doomed to be impossible, because Germany simply cannot afford the logistics of 20,000 Tiger tanks!

2,**20,000 Tiger tanks? The logistics uncle will beat people.

After all, Germany's logistics are really hard to describe, not to mention oil.

Do you think Germany can muster 20,000 tanks with crews and repairmen?

After all, don't look stupid and coarse tanks, but the interior is very fine, and it is normal to run a small repair on the battlefield for a few days, and a major repair after the fight. <>

During World War II, Germany simply didn't have that many engineers who could repair tanks.

Unless you plan to use the tank as a one-time ** and throw it away, most of the extra tanks are still chicken ribs, not to mention the crew of 20,000 tanks, and Germany can't do it.

Okay, let's talk about oil, after all, a tank is a metal coffin that can't move without oil, what do you think it's for?

During World War II, the annual production of German oil was only about 6 million to 7 million tons per year.

Many people may not have an intuitive idea of this data, but you must know that the annual oil production of the United States during the same period exceeded 200 million tons. <>

For example, the United States only produced about 60,000 tanks during World War II (don't just look at the number, American tanks are quite brittle), and even the United States had to carry out oil control during the war.

To put it bluntly, the United States, which produced more than 200 million tons of oil annually during World War II, was not enough for 60,000 tanks.

And Germany's annual oil production of less than 10 million tons, what to take to **20,000 Tigers?

Yes, 20,000 Tiger tanks, which is very destructive, firepower suppression.

No, firstly, Germany lacks not tanks but infantry fighting vehicles, secondly, Germany's logistics cannot keep up, thirdly, Germany lacks oil, and no matter how much equipment there is, it is useless without oil.

Even if you add 20,000 Tiger tanks and postpone the end of the war for two years at most, the annual tank production capacity of the United States and the Soviet Union will reach 50,000 or 60,000 tanks, and the combined of these two countries is 100,000 tanks per year, 200,000 in two years, 300,000 in three years, and the number of fighters is about this number.

In my opinion, if you add 20,000 Tiger tanks, you will definitely win. Because just by forming an armored cluster of these 20,000 Tiger tanks, the whole of Europe and the Soviet Union could be bulldozed.

They can't win, because even if they win in Europe, the front will be stretched too long to sustain their long reign.

There is no air defense, fuel, egg medicine, trained car groups, and it is also in vain.

The tiger design is unreasonable to play with logistics, unless the mass production of No. 4 still consumes energy for a while and a half, and there are factors of old beauty.

Tiger heavy tank. The tank was officially put into production in August 1942 and began to equip the troops. In April 1944, the highest monthly level of 105 vehicles was reached. By February 1945, a total of 1,354 Tiger heavy tanks had been produced.

1,355 Tigers, chassis serial numbers from 250001 to 251357, 90 Ferdinand Elephant tank destroyers, 10 Tigers, 13 assault Tiger self-propelled mortars, and one Tiger maintenance vehicle were also produced with their chassis. There is also the King Tiger series, a total of 489 units were produced, with chassis serial numbers ranging from 280001 to 280489, of which 50 were produced with Porsche turrets, and 77 Tiger Hunter tank destroyers were produced with its chassis.

This just shows from one side: the decisive factor in war is not **, but people!

Besides, even if the Tiger tank was relatively advanced at that time, how many Tiger tanks did the Germans have? How can it be undefeated to fight against tens of thousands of allied T34 and Sherman with a limited number of tigers? ~~

The Tiger tank is indeed strong, but its process is complex and its production speed is slow.

And the T34 of the Soviet army has a simple structure and a high speed of production.

A total of less than 2,000 Tiger tanks were produced during World War II... The number of T34s is a terrifying 50,000 units, and Sherman in the United States has produced more than 40,000 units... No matter how strong the tiger is, it can't hit 10 cars at a time. . .

Therefore, the military industry cannot blindly seek strength, but also pay attention to production costs and production capacity...

First of all, the tiger style is not invincible, there are only invincible armies and ** in the world, and there are no invincible armies and **. Even if the Tiger style is invincible, it is impossible to rely on only one kind of **, how can the victory or defeat be decided in this way.

The T-34 armed with an 85mm gun can penetrate the side armor of the Tiger at close range, and the JS-2's 122mm gun can penetrate the Tiger head-on. The Allied Firefly tanks were simply able to penetrate the Tiger's frontal armor at a long distance. The Allied and Soviet M-26 heavy tanks and JS-3 heavy tanks also began to be equipped with troops, which can gnaw at the Tiger you said.

It is advisable to go to museums like Aberdeen in the United States or Kubinka in the Soviet Union to see real Tiger tanks, which have been Allied trophies for many years. Note that almost all of them have bullet marks left by the breakdown on their sides, how can they be invincible?

First, the Tiger tank is not without defects, first of all, its running gear is not so stable and easy to break down halfway. And the Tiger tank is difficult to manufacture, and the production volume is not too high. And many tanks such as the Soviet T-34, the American M4 Sherman and many others could destroy the Tiger tank.

The Tiger tank is not invincible.

Second, the Tiger tank is not a panacea, it is really effective when attacking, but it is poor when defending.

If we only follow the logic of LZ, then the equipment of our volunteers was very poor when we resisted US aggression and aided Korea, so we couldn't win this war? Our victory is inseparable from our spirit of hard work.

The number is not good, it is too small, only 1335 vehicles, it does not constitute a huge impact, if it can make up for the problem of quantity, then the probability of German victory will increase a lot. [Note: The Sherman M4A1 has 49,234 units, while the IS-3 has more than 2,000 units].

In layman's terms, that is, the German tank is the master alone, but it can't withstand the group fight. The same is true for the whole of World War II Germany.

One or two new styles are trends that can't change history. Moreover, the Tiger tanks were small in number and had many breakdowns, which did not form a real battlefield advantage.

The Tiger tank lost in its own problems and logistical supplies

Germany lost in the war reserves, lacked troops, lacked resources, and the quality of the tanks in the later period did not meet the standards of the early stage of the war

Chehai Tactics 1Tiger tanks are expensive.

2.Tiger Tank less.

3.Tiger Tank Difficult.

War is not only fought by **, but also by integrating time, geography, and people. Think about it in many ways. Although the Germans were extremely combative, they lost on two fronts.

There was no numerical superiority, insufficient resources, and the German population was too small.

The U.S. Discovery's military technology rankings say 1,500 vehicles.

There are probably more than 6,000 vehicles, several models.

First of all, one thing is one thing, Tiger 1 is usually called Tiger Style, and Tiger 2 type is generally called Tiger Style, so here is the situation of Tiger 1 type. Secondly, you just want to have a brief understanding of the excitement, so please don't ask about the situation of the Tiger King, that's another question, and it's very troublesome to find information. OK, start ......The first combat of the Tiger was on September 23, 1942 near Leningrad (now St. Petersburg).

In the entire World War II, the incomplete statistics of the destruction record of the Tiger were 9,850 vehicles, and the loss of 1,715 vehicles was carried out. In fact, the German army did not lose so many Tigers, the entire World War II German army only produced a total of 1,347 Tigers, the reason why there is such a number of 1,715 is because when the German army calculates the losses, the serious damage that needs to be overhauled is also counted in the losses, and in fact, these tanks are dragged back and repaired, although it is troublesome, but there is no problem with putting them into service again, and it is normal to die twice. Why is it famous?

Just look at the above data, even according to the German army's algorithm, if serious injuries are lost, the exchange ratio between the Tiger and the Allies has also been reached. In the three major performance of the tank, the Tiger almost reached the top level in the middle and late stages of World War II in terms of armor and firepower, and even after the IS2 appeared, the Tiger was not completely out of play. As for dealing with the main forces of the Allied forces, T34 and M4, it is even more like chopping melons and vegetables, and T34 needs to fight in a group, and surround the Tiger 1 type at the cost of sacrificing the first few vehicles; And the M4 was ridiculed by the Germans as a lighter, because it was finished with one shot; And the biggest problem with the Tiger is mobility, and this problem is average after everyone starts to work on bigger guys in the later stage, such as IS2 or Tiger King, the mobility of these two guys is worse than that of the Tiger.

In terms of bike performance alone, I think the Tiger was the best in World War II. Tiger type was born on the birth of a lot of super tankers (you can't beat it yourself, you can beat others but a dozen to wear, of course, the results are good), the most famous is Michel Wittman, a total of 138 tanks and 132 guns, which is widely praised is the tank battle in Pokaki Village on June 13, 1944, this guy brought six Tiger 1 and a No. 4 tank, and got a battalion and two companies of the British, and Wittman rode through Pokaki Village alone, one by one, Until the tank was finally shot in the wheel, the dude ran back to his camp unscathed, and although the battle was fortuitous and the difference in equipment, the British lost more than two dozen (23 27) tanks; Wittmann is only the most famous, but he is not the holder of the German Tiger tank destruction record, the German army has at least 10 people operating the Tiger to destroy more than 100 Allied tanks, such as Kurt Könispel (168), Walter Schwarf (161), Otto Karjuus (150+, some say 170), Accommodating S. Potel (139+).
