Was the Pazar more useful in WW2 or the Me 109E?
It's almost impossible to make a comparison, I would have said, since one was for ground combat and the other aerial. If forced to choose one, I would go for the 109 because it could be used to strafe ground troops whilst Panzers were not known for their ability to fly
Obviously the panzers - it was they who enabled Blitzkrieg - which was why the hun had success - the me109 was on the periphery - mind u the Stuka !!
Its an odd comparison - probably the Panzer as that covers all German tanks while the ME 109 was just one fighter aircraft.
The success of the Blitzkrieg lay in all-arms co-operation so its a bit like asking which is more useful on a car - an engine or its wheels. Like the panzers without air superiority, its better to have wheels and no engine but you're going to struggle.
