i think they bet it all on overwhelming air superiority and terrorbombing campaigns against much weaker enemies, and they still lost every fucking war.
this emphasis on quality is just empty nazi rhetoric.
i mean, the longer ww2 went on, the more the nazis wanked about superior technology and shit, while the war kept getting worse and worse for them. they had their best successes with their well tested, relatively simple, easy to repair/manufacture early war tanks.
and then what equipment actually won the war? well tested, mass produced, easy to repair shermans and t34s. these were tanks where the designers actually cared how big bridges are, and how heavy a tank can be if it still wants to be able to cross bridges. or how fast you can swap a busted transmission in a muddy field. or or or.
and now NATO is continuing the great tradition of nazi wunderwaffe worship.
I mean, after WW2 a lot of those Nazis got cushy jobs in NATO and other US-controlled organizations. AFAIK they appointed one as General Secretary right after the war. Not to mention - operation Gladio and operation Paperclip is a thing.

Have they? Used to think the same, but recently I’m starting to suspect it is a part of the mythology surrounding NATO and USA specifically.
Yeah, tbh i’m not seeing the vaunted “quality” of NATO gear in Ukraine…
that’s because the slavic brainpan cannot handle the superior elvi- uh I mean, WESTERN weaponry
Namely, the quality they most strive for is “expensive”
