I say one-on-one, Germany would beat US. They were by far more prepared, but America had the advantage of throwing their resources behind the effort as time went on.
Germany was not built for the long game and Germany couldn’t handle Russia and America at the same time.

Maybe. I guess if you throw a full strength SS Panzer Division with Panther and Tiger II’s (no mechanical breakdowns) up against a full strength US Armored division I may take the Germans. But their problem was most of their vehicles were constantly in the shop or left behind.
Funny how German vehicles in WW2 were known to be cutting edge with all the bells & whistles ie night vision, auto loaders, enhanced optics, powerful cannons etc yet they were extremely unreliable just like a BMW or Mercedes today

Not sure how you could reach that conclusion. Germany had no ability to force the US to surrender at any point in the war. Even their most ambitious hypothetical plans for the Reich mostly fell short of being able to project power in the Western Hemisphere.
