If a TOG had been produced and deployed to Norway in 1940, would it have beaten the German tanks there?
Short answerProbably. A production TOG with a contemporary turret is judged capable of beating the Neubaufahrzeug, while the absence of Allied tanks is identified as a serious weakness.
NotesThe counterfactual depends on a TOG entering production early enough to serve in Norway in 1940. Its likely configuration is uncertain, although a contemporary turret such as the Matilda's is suggested. A tank of that sort is judged capable of beating the German Neubaufahrzeug deployed there. The criticism extends beyond TOG: the absence of Allied tanks is identified as one of the campaign's serious problems.
