The German Army tends to get a really bad reputation because of the actions of the SS.

The German Army in WW2 were not the same kind of fanatics, but they were extremely well trained and decidicated and tough. They were the modern day definition of a professional army populated by professional soldiers.

I don't think that they even panicked when the Russians were rumbling into Berlin.

Thier armoured core was ahead of the game in terms of tactics and training, but they fell behind in terms of competant tank designs.
