Just because the had the guards title tacked on does not necessarily make them awesome. It was overused. Thing is just because you have a better kill ratio does not mean your tanks are good or even better. Because a lot more goes into it than what tank is better one on one.

Guards Tank Armies did tend to be better than the average one, and the fact is the SS Corps slaughtered two of them. As for that kill ratio, it was 8 to 1 at least, and this followed the Panzer III's stellar year in 1942 as evidenced by my previously citation.

You cannot draw sweeping conclusions from a single point of data.

Which I never did, and you full well know that. I cited the losses of 1941, 1942, and the performance of the Panzer III in 1943 at Kursk. When you're consistently seeing good results, you can't just explain it away.

The explanation is not necessarily that the tank is better, as you still have to take a lot of other factors into account.

That is 2.87 million men at arms in the entire armed forces.

For the most part, these divisions are far flung and everywhere.

There is the active insurgency in Poland they are fighting, problems with putting the new Soviet puppet states in line, and overall fixing the damage of years of warfare.
