In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. The term butterfly effect is closely associated with the work of Edward Lorenz.

they over-engineered their technologies.
Yes, artillery, bombers, fighters, tanks etc were over engineered, meaning they didn't have enough resources to to keep up with the loses of x vehicles.
A good example would be the tiger tanks (Königstiger) both variants Tiger I & TIger II
They were heavy tanks, widely used in the blitzkreig tactic, designed as breakthrough vehicles they were designed to take alot of hits and retaliate with force, both had the same cannon 88cm KwK something, i don't remember.
Meanwhile, the soviets designed the IS series tanks IS stand for "Iosif Stalin" Josef Stalin tank basically.
They were havy tanks, with big cannon, and meh armor, frontal armor was easily penetrable by Tigers.
They had 122mm cannons, capable of firing extremely big APCBC shells and HE shells.

Unfortunately, IS-1 tanks couldn't do anything to Tigers unless they were close or on the flanks. The Is-2's had the new 122mm cannon, they could do more damage, the armor on the tigers would fatigue over the 122mm shells hitting the upper frontal plates etc, and would literally break after a few hits, there is crazy pictures of the frontal armor of some Tigers.

Let's get back on the topic, Germany was getting attacked from both sides, Allies in Europe who would retaliate very HARD meanwhile the germans continued the battle in the USSR. Their resources would diminish extremely quickly.
The fuel ! for the planes and the tanks, the air superiority of the allies in europe, meaning constant bombing on the german factories. They didn't have enough resources to keep up, they had technologies which needed a ton of resources to run, the V2 rockets was a gargantuan investment, the first jet fighet of ww2, Me-262, unreliable and was killing the funds for the germans.

The germans decided to pick the strength card over the allies & soviets who decided to take the quantity card.

The World Book of Records considers the blue whale as the animal with the largest penis in the world in absolute terms, since the mammal's sexual organ can reach 2.7 meters in length and 22 centimeters in diameter, with a weight that varies between 170 and 400 kilos.

The brain of Albert Einstein has been a subject of much research and speculation. His brain was stolen by the pathologist on call, Thomas Harveys. Albert Einstein's brain was removed within seven and a half hours of his death.

Art Tatum, incredibly influent pianist from the swing era, studied on 4-hands rolls for piano (meant to be played by 2 people on the same piano) believing they were 2-hands ones (meant for a single musician) because he was blind. This greatly and involuntarily helped the development of his skills.
