Beyond that, the training included extremely thorough study of things like ballistics theory and fieldcraft, and German soldiers were able to sustain favorable loss exchange ratios the entire war, even with the cut down program they were using by the end. If Germany had the industry of the Americans, we'd all be saluting Hitler and the Jews would be a footnote in history.

Stormer HVM itself has no radar but the British army has a battery of GIRAFFE AMB radars that can provide cuing information to both HVM and Rapier, and eventually CAMM(L) (I seriously hope they don't fucking call it Land Ceptor)

Perhaps I ought to transition to this 80s-Bundeswehr style division (http://i.imgur.com/YbmmB5o.png).

Another major factor was of course basic infantry fighting doctrine. The German Army centred their squads around the GPMG. The functions of the riflemen were to be the gunner's ammo bearers, flank security and meat shield. Near the end roughly half the troops had an automatic weapon of some sort. This was lethal in defence.
The allies were the other way round - small units were rifle-centric and the DP/Bren/BAR was used to support them, so they were at a disadvantage when it came to dismounted close combat.
Of course, in the end, arty trumps everything. The Chassepot couldn't beat the Krupp and the MG42 was more than offset by 25-pounders and M101.
