re: At full strength who was more powerful in ww2 Germany or US?

Germany was actually weaker than France on paper. The problem was France's entire defense plan was a WWI type stalemate. They could have easily stopped the blitz but the top French generals were phucking stupid and didn't move reserves in time, even held up reinforcements due change in top generals when hours mattered. The bravery of their soldiers was something of wonder, many units fought to the last man. Entire divisions were sent south when they could have been used to stop Germany cold in Belgium
