Americans and Germans were trained diffrently and came from diffrent goverments. Think about hou Nazi Germany was Compared to deomcratic America. Also American units had less training than their German enemies.The Germans were preparing fpr war the U.S wasnt anticipting war.

The medical care for American military is more extensive and we care about our people. The German did have cases of people who suffered shellshock, however, it was not reported that way.

I'm sorry, but that's just completely wrong.

Of course the Germans did. You can't be in a combat situation and not feel the effects.

Can you provide proof that the Germans did not suffer from shell-shock?


forgivebutdonotforget911
WW ONE they called it "shell shock" because they thought it was caused by shells going off around them.

WW TWO they called it "battle fatigue" because they thought it was caused by being overly tired from fighting too much.

George Patton called it "cowardice" and was relived of command for slapping a solder suffering from it.

Now we call it Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

If you think Germans did not get it, take a look at the faces of Germans on the Eastern Front in WW TWO.....

I think the German army was very good.We were too but Germany might of won the war if it wasn't for Hitler being so stupid.He was the one who destroyed the German army by telling them not to fall back but to fight to the death...

Krauts dont have such a coddled childhood as we do in america. they have to grow up young.
