So presumably you're suggesting that a couple of years in the 1950's when the Germans had rebuilt some of their factories and didn't have any military spending is the reason for their success over the following 60 years.
The UK dismantled German factories up until 1950. Surely getting "free" machines should have meant the UK would have a thriving industry.Last edited by BlasterBates; 23 June 2020, 10:36.I'm alright JackComment
