Did Germany choose the wrong transport system for its army?

Was Germany's most serious inherited mistake failing to decide whether military logistics should centre on rail or motor transport?

The deeper limitation was that much of German logistics still relied on horses, so neither rail nor motor transport alone describes how the army actually moved and supplied itself.

A viewer proposes that Germany's gravest inherited error was uncertainty over whether railways or motor vehicles should anchor logistics. Much of the German Army's transport remained horse-drawn, making the premise less modern than either option suggests. Railways moved mass over strategic distances, but units still needed practical means to carry supplies beyond railheads. This uneven mechanization is contrasted with Britain, identified here as the only fully motorized and mechanized army in 1939. The exchange reframes German mobility as a mixed system rather than a uniformly motorized Blitzkrieg machine.
