Tanks were a relatively new invention during World War I and came of age during World War II, undergoing rapid development in a short span of six years. The Germans developed specialized tanks, such as tank killers with high-velocity guns, to counter enemy forces. The war saw the gradual decline of German tank effectiveness due to superior Allied tanks, logistical challenges, and strategic errors, including Hitler’s ill-fated Ardennes Offensive in late 1944. Despite early successes, the German forces were ultimately overwhelmed by the Allies’ superior resources and strategy.
