Or the Jeep.

German tech was generally well engineered - over engineered in many ways - too complex to keep running on a battlefield, which meant that they couldn’t deliver in the numbers needed.

Hitler’s fixation on super weapons also made things worse. Ultimately the Allies overwhelmed with superior numbers of equipment, had better logistics, and by the end of the way, key weapons systems were as good or better in many respects.

A small thing but you can find places where historians with a focus on tanks or similar stuff compare what it took to do maintenance on a M4 Sherman’s transmission compared to that of a Pz V Panther. Night and day in the Sherman’s favor.
