I have Otto Carius' book and I remember him mentioning it. I also remember he said at some battle a gunner shot a Soviet (I think commissar) with the main gun.

That is not the case. The Wehrmacht was heavily short on numbers on Western Front.
For instance, during the Normandy invasion only around 400 Luftwaffe fighters were in a condition to be used against about 9000 Allied aircraft.
Moreover, they threw everything at the Battle of Bulge and dealt a heavy blow on Allies but were not in a position to fight a two-front war as well as were low on manpower and resources.

Thank you, It will be good if you can share the name of the book.

But ultimately it was Russians who defeated the Germans and turned the tide of WW2.

Tigers in the mud. In Greek they title is "Tanks in the mud". You should definitely buy it. I agree with what you said about Germans and the Western Front. They fought exceptionally well in all fronts.

But ultimately it was Russians who defeated the Germans and turned the tide of WW2.

The Americans were reaching Berlin as well. But the fight in the Eastern Front was brutal.

That's extremely wrong. Just check German history.

Americans reached Berlin just for taking the credit when all the nasty work was already done by the Russians. If any nation who suffered the most and turned the tide of WW2 that was Russia.
