>They lost because their military was spread too thin.
Not only that but okw had miserable expectation of wars and armaments, one thing was that okw had talents like walter model, heinz guderian, erwin rommel despite being against NS and second how many they had against the majority of nobility/academy officers who had no particular skills but demanded to be treated as same as those talents just because they are either of blue blood or went from academy. Good example would be ostfront where generals insisted on conventional taking of capital instead of deadly important caucasus or thanks by them almost made a kiev encirclement a only a speculation rather than a biggest encirclement in history
Second thing was about armaments
Yes Hitler despised arms race and wanted disarming but unlike okw and sometimes producers (i look at you ME 262 and pulkzestorer version and stg 44 delays) understood the weapons and metaphysics of them in some way unlike army which was giving ridiculous demands like in case of g 42M which was a result of demands from army, the overcomplicated resource demanding rifle that had also an unneceseary feature.
