Why was Germany so much more advanced in science and technology than other countries during World War II?
The main reason is the ideological problems of countries after World War I, and the main tactic during World War I was trench warfare. After the war, Britain and France were content with the status quo and did not carry out military innovation. The French even thought that trench warfare was the final manifestation of war and established the maginot line.

As a defeated country, Germany's economy collapsed and Ximo rose, and unemployment and economic crisis were solved through the concept of industrial power.

Tanks came into Germany's sight, and German generals began to study tank tactics. At the same time, they put forward higher requirements for tanks, which stimulated German industry. The two complement each other, and Germany has made rapid progress in science and technology.

This is also the reason why the victorious country in World War I quickly became a defeated country after the beginning of World War II. Their consciousness stayed in the primitive positional warfare tactics and was defeated by the interspersed tactics of blitzkrieg.

In the final analysis, Germany is superior to other countries in science and technology because Germany is constantly striving for self-improvement, while other countries are complacent and content with the status quo.

In addition:

1. Developed economy, strong scientific and technological foundation. Germany is the birthplace of the second industrial revolution.

The state attaches great importance to education and investment in science and technology. Britain and France are old imperialist countries with vast colonies. Even if science and technology are not developed, they can still make a lot of money in the colonies, which objectively limits their progress.

3. Rigorous style, industrious nature and the spirit of pursuing Excellence. Germans prefer to produce high-end and expensive things, such as Mercedes-Benz BMW and Tiger King Tank.

4. The IQ of Germany is generally high. According to research, the IQ of Germans is about 107, that of East Asian countries is about 106, and that of Britain, France and Spain is only about 90- 100.

5. Efficient and promising government. Whether in William or Hitler's time. The leading group attaches great importance to keeping pace with the times. Dare to boldly introduce new technologies and new ideas.

6. We are fully prepared for the war and spare no effort to develop new weapons.

7. Respecting individual research results, Germany implemented the patent protection law very early.

There are many natural talents in Germany, but it is too exaggerated to say that the core scientists in the United States and the Soviet Union are all Germans.

Extended data

In fact, it is not surprising that German technology, especially military technology, was so advanced in World War II. First of all, before the industrial revolution, Germany's industry was very developed. The industrial revolution began before many countries. With the advantages brought by the industrial revolution, it expanded overseas and accumulated a lot of original capital.

Furthermore, after the industrial revolution, Germans attached importance to the development of education. A large part of the capital accumulated overseas is used to develop China's education and train all kinds of talents for Germany. Before world war I. Germany's education level has always been ahead of most countries. The state attaches great importance to education and investment in science and technology.
