Wondered when somebody would catch that!
Here's another little gem...during the period 1938-1945, the Germans produced some 89,000 armored fighting vehicles of all types. Even in 1945, when communications and transport within Germany were almost at a standstill, the Germans were still able to produce some 5,592 AFVs (with a production goal of 23,000 AFVs by the end of the year), within less than three months. Soviet production of AFVs during the war years was some 125,000, most produced under primitive conditions following the move to the Urals. By comparsion, the US produced some 48,000 Shermans
