    Air power is my main thing but a ww2 historian my entire life, sitting here listening, looking at the still image of the line of German Panzer 4's. The Panzer 4 in my modest technical engineering nerd Brain was Germany's best all-around Panzer, specially when they Up-gunned them and added a bit more armor to vulnerable areas. just the right size and weight for western Europe, very reliable with all good performance specs. Other Tanks were better in certain areas but all had issues of some kind, not the 4's, these were the Work Horses. if they had put resources into the Panzer 4, instead of failed Panzers/Jaegers they could have had 3+ times the amount of tanks, using a multi-fuel Diesel engines fueling up with almost any kind of flammable liquid, could have been used as fuel, the monster tanks had only a couple engines, all with Chitty Fuel Mileage to move their Fat-A$$es, the Oily Weeds now covering the fields could be processed for Bio-Fuel. The War may have been different. - (Pssst., Hey Germany, From the future Here, you are going to Really Need A BIGGER, FASTER, HIGHER, FARTHER, UP GUNNED, AMOURED & SEALED FUEL TANK/ ENGINE COMPONENTS/ DRIVE-TRAIN,,,, "SUPER URAL BOMBER DESTROYER", build 10,000, just take my word.

      And before that the UK was supplying Russia with 3,000 aircraft, 3,400 tanks, hundreds of artillery pieces and thousands of tons of machine tools and other necessary war materiel. It was done entirely Free of Charge and started 2 weeks after Barbarossa started in Summer 1941 long before US supplies were started in 1942.
      And this will come as a surprise but Operation Overlord (D Day) was an entirely British conceived, developed, researched and executed operation. It was entirely British commanded and 80% of the naval assets were British. The two Mulberry Harbours that landed munitions, fuel, vehicles and people, were designed and built in the UK and shipped over. The concrete caissons were designed and built in the UK and floated over and sunk as storm protections along with blocking ships. The British and Canadians landed more men on more beaches than did the USA.
      I write all this because, judging by your comment, it seems you think only the USA was in Normandy when without the British there would have been no 'D Day'.

    This is the best "voice" so far. The few American voices are too jarring when seeming to be spoken by Germans. The more common RP British voices are reminiscent of the Anglo-German voices, almost always spoken by psychopathic villains in contemporary movies. This voice could be characterized as Mid-Atlantic, an educated Euro-English without British or German baggage. Congratulations! On second thought, the French is too correct, but not exactly French enough, to be either American or French. It could be a bilingual Canadian or northern New England accent. Like my accent, which has come unmoored from its roots, it floats, being neither one nor another.

      I’m American but I have to agree. There’s something a bit too jarring about the AI American accents. It might also be that my own Southern dialect is closer to British accents (as testified by professional linguists). In any case it’s always irked me that the “generic” American accent always has this broad upper Midwest sound. There’s for sure much more to American dialects than that.

    Probably because 80% of the German forces were fighting and dying in Russia. Like most Americans I grew up believing we won the war...and we certainly did in the Pacific, but if you had to break it down by percentage I would say Russians did 75% of the work in Europe. Just look at German losses in WWII. The vast majority were on the Eastern front. And when I say vast majority I'm talking 70-80% of all the German soldiers that died in the WWII died in Russia or trying to halt the Russians advance in Germany.

      Hitler transferred several panzer divisions to Normandy and moved some troops from Italy as well. .but th defeat was inevitable once Allie’s had kept the germans guessing as to landing site and weather was acceptable. If the storm that took out the mulberry’s had arrived sooner, or bad weather grounded allied Air Force, Hitler had allowed earlier movement for his reserves and placed them on coast evenly distributed between Calais and nOrmandy , i guess he had a slim chance, but as the allied landings at Anzio, Salerno showed, germans would not be abel to displace lilies because they faced air dominance .
