It's Not Just U-Boats
2018-02-22
Remember a couple days back about the German Navy not able to get their submarines out to sea. Seems classical German logistics isn't 'German' anymore.

#2  I thought they were big into AIP and exporting u-boats? Pretty shitty marketing.

#1  Actually, historically the Germans were always cavalier in their handling of 'logistics' and also 'military intelligence(at least the strategic, high level kind)'. A focus on short, decisive wars meant tactics was where all of the smart officers went -- when you start out in the center of Europe you have to win the first battle or the game could be quickly over.
