Description
In "Greatest Tank Battles: Battle of the Bulge Panzer Attack!", there's a recalling of a Tiger II--a.k.a., Royal Tiger or King Tiger--attempting to back up to get into a firing position--and instead literally brings down the house onto itself.As a fun fact, the Tiger II weights roughly 70 tons--even outweighing some modern tanks. If the Germans had focused on improving their current tanks instead of making these oversized giants, they might have won.

A building is never enough to kill a Tiger, never mind a Tiger II

Actually the Tiger was need due to the fact that the later KVs and JS-1s were being a bitch to kill. So they went and took the 8.8cm AA gun, modified it into a tank gun, and then put it onto a tank. Since in German tactics the heavy is to be the spearhead of any assault, it had some of the heaviest armor. It was also given to only tank aces, which they had plenty of.
Hitler was very traditionalist in many aspects, and thus hindered most of the Nazi war machine's capabilities. The StG 44 would of been massed produced in 1942 if he didn't have a hand in fucking up the process in the first place, the same with jets and SAM systems.

It's ironic how Hitler shot himself and Nazi Germany in the foot many times over.
Stalin eventually suffered a similar irony; his brutality caused his subordinates to avoid him like the plague--culminating in his death.

You know youβre doing something wrong when your best minds have to escape and defect to the enemy or die β thatβs a major selective pressure against patriotism, intelligence, creative problem solving, initiative, and courage, all things that help to win a war. Β Just saying.

They could have won for sure if they Kept mass producing Tigers Panzer IV's and Panthers, Truth was Hitler was invincible until he started believing he was invincible, That's when he started Wasting resources on experiments and Shit happened.
