The best visual commentary about the "technological superiority" of the Wehrmacht is in the final episode of "Band of Brothers" where the young paratrooper riding in a convoy of US Army GMC trucks shouts at the defeated Wehrmacht members riding in their horse carts bout what fools they were to think they could defeat the United States with a horse-drawn army.
First of all thank you to Madeleine Johnson. We in the UK were brought up on the well known television history The World at War, first broadcast on 31st October 1973.

The image still important today and equally mastered by Putin, Xi, Kim, not to mention the current resident of the White House!
