True but Germany had Crack Formations(people who literally fight as if possessed by a demon in simplistic terminology) unlike everyone else on both the Allies and Axis fronts.The best example of one was Omaha Beach since this occured without German Commanders present on D-Day since it was heavily defended by a Crack Formation:They had the beach sought up WW1 style due to Rommel,Had 85 MG42s each firing 1200 rounds per minute,Had the entire beach zeroed in with Mortor and Artillery rounds,and as a result over 3,000 marines died that day.Again that was without commanders present meaning the Allies would most likely have lost WW2 otherwise since they would have stopped them at Omaha.That was just an example but either way experience is everything and in WW2 Germany had the most due being accustomed from WW1 along with having exclusive basic training for certain troops.Everything worked out for the best though since otherwise most would have to face Germanys WW2 slogan "Today we rule Germany,Tomorrow The World" if they were present via Pearl Harbor
