Probably not , but their planes have guns that would be just as effective and offer little chance at a counter strike . Even then . They literally could not shoot down enough WW 2 planes in time . 60 , 000 aircraft are going to bypass Modern Germany ' s anti air defenses and destroy all their airfields . Thousands may get shot down in the process but that isn ' t going to be enough to stop the other tens of thousands . Without airfields for the modern jets to land and refuel they become basically useless . Assuming the Nazi tankers are willing to go on a suicide mission for a fair chance at damaging an enemy who can literally reverse faster than they can advance . Considering that battles are typically about either attacking or defending geographical strong points , population , or industrial centers simply retreating is a nonsensical strategy . Plus you can ' t simply retreat forever . And again , we are talking about tens of thousands of tanks vs a couple hundred . Even if Modern tanks can withstand dozens of Tiger tank cannons they are going to break down eventually from hundreds or thousands of repeated poundings from tanks and heavy artillery . That is if they aren ' t flattened by airstrikes first . If you plan to bring to bear the entire Wehrmacht against a single nation you ' re going to have some very tightly packed forces on the march . A modern aircraft may not destroy an entirely division . But the morale damage alone would be staggering . How many troops do you think would be willing to march forth into that inferno knowing they could be slaughtered with no chance at defending themselves . First , Modern Germany ' s airforce is going to be plenty tied up trying to fight off the Nazi ' s Luftwaffe . So I doubt they ' d even have the time or ammunition to properly address ground troops . Second , how much better do you think 2016 infantry are to Nazi Germany ' s infantry ? Could 10 modern soldiers hold off 50 Nazis ? Let ' s say so . That ' s only a 51 ratio . The current German army only numbers 60 thousand . The Composite Nazi army numbered 15 20 million . The Nazis literally outnumber them more than 250 1 . With that type of numbers disparity the Nazis could be led by chickens and they ' d still win .
