So, AA shells and submarines do not count?. What items do count? Show me how the SU outproduce Germany. I'd like to see some facts supporting that.I think Parfisal is considerating everything in the historical context of the war. The Soviet Union outproduced Germany for most of the war certainly because Germany needed to built things such as submarines and AA shells for the war in the West, and also because it had the Lend-Lease, the naval blockade of Germany and other factors in it's favour. But the fact is that Germany lacked equipment (including primarily logistics) in the Eastern Front, a front that was part from a global conflict.
