Why didn’t Nazi Germany just copy the Soviet T-34 or U.S. Sherman and build thousands of one reliable tank?

The short answer: they couldn’t—and they wouldn’t. Germany’s smaller economy, fragile supply chains, and reliance on foreign labor made mass production difficult. Instead, Nazi leaders pursued quality over quantity: advanced tanks like the Panther and Tiger.

But these beasts were over-engineered—complex, slow to build, and prone to breakdowns. Add political rivalries, poor coordination, and Hitler’s obsession with “wonder weapons,” and the result was an armored force powerful on paper but inefficient in practice.

In our linked Short, we explore another German weapons misstep: Why did Nazi Germany build two massive battleships only to rarely use them?
