I suggest to add in the caption that the Frankfurt is shown as target ship, just before being sink (in particular because I counted 7 guns, in conflict with the description) pietro151.29.189.70 (talk) 09:56, 6 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Germany—#1 in futile industry?

edit

Seeing articles like this—about merely one of the prodigious number of ships, planes, tanks, Jules Verne-esque artillery pieces, and other massive machines of war furiously cranked out by Germany during their foiled attempts at world domination—I can't help wondering: Has anyone else even approached their volume of pointless heavy construction? It seems to merit some kind of recognition, if only to imply the unfathomable amount of steel involved. I mean, that's a LOT of steel to bother mining, smelting, forming, cutting, hammering, riveting, and so on, just to have it go right back to the ol' scrap yard. It's got to be a record, right?
