re: How were German armored divisions so much more elite than their US counterparts

Meh. There were options to open the theater in Greece, and through the Black Sea (Ukraine) with Soviet assistance, among others. I mean we did open Italy, after going to North Africa and then Sicily. The Alps would have been a challenge and that would have been more difficult/time-consuming without England, but it could have/would have been done, regardless.

Well, that wasn't going to happen. If Germany had invaded the British Isles, the Royal Navy would have evacuated to North America as a last resort. Probably operated independent task forces under the USN umbrella until such time as England could have been liberated. And British resistance/partisans would have been brutal on the German occupation. It would have tied down at least a dozen divisions that Hitler couldn't spare.
