I will give you the facts that the Germans were amazing when it came to aeronautical engineering. They put out some amazing aircraft, though the RAF and USAAC for the most part had better pilots. Not to mention the p-51, which is probably the best prop driven fighter aircraft ever designed.

I totally agree with this. The RAF Spitfire was also a great fighter plane, but the T-34 only killed the German tanks because of what I posted earlier. If they were carrying a lighter weight oil, then I don't think the T-34 would have been as successful. You also have to look at why Stalin was an ally to Hitler in the beginning. That was just to give him time to build up his forces, because he knew Hitler would have eventually tried to overthrow him too.

Great post though.
