The Germans also never realized the efficiency of the US supply system,
which stockpiled huge quantities of material, just in case it would be
needed. The US was the most industrialized country in the world at the
time,
and other countries just couldn't understand how much material the US
could
produce. Hey, no other country ever packed toilet paper with every meal
("C"
or "K" ration) it fed to its front line combat troops.
