Might be some truth because in 1944 just about 12-14% of German AA-artillery were in east (including Poland and Baltic States). He also claimed that 44% of weapons too went on air-sea warfare. <br /><br />In July 1944 naval vessel production met it's lowest point but then gained much more resources with new generation U-boat production. There is indeed some looming doubts of those German figures especially those aircraft "built" in 1945. Did they really produced over 7 000 aircraft during the last 4 months? I doubt it.

This was the result of having to supply an army of millions with ammunitions. <br /><br />Don’t trust everything you read from ‘historians’.<br />Christos T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04246906263926130737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3335175720102608134.post-27517431843234216252015-11-02T21:45:14.794-08:002015-11-02T21:45:14.794-08:00Phillips Payson O'Brien has given another reas...Phillips Payson O'Brien has given another reason for delay of M26 Pershing. In his book "How the War was Won: Air-Sea Power and Allied Victory in World War II" he wrote on page 55: "Unlike aircraft construction, pushing new and powerful AFV was never a major priority of American munitions construction during the war."<br /><br />O'Brien is given rather exciting new perspective to war itself. It was never really mostly land battles. Instead he claimed that air-sea warfare was always main priority not only for western allies but for Japan and Germany too. For instance Germans invested only 4-8% for AFV but almost always about 40-48% for only aircraft construction. He suggested that only about 30-32% of investments went for needs of Wehrmacht and Waffen SS. Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine got total 68-70%. With development costs the percentage might have been higher than 70%.
