I'm no Wehraboo but I'd think it would stand to reason that the majority of German war equipment in general would have been destroyed or captured. Considering they fucking lost.
That's a fair point.
Counterpoint, they wouldn't have lost if their equipment wasn't shit.
I mean, yes? But also no?
The US famously lost to poorly equipped guerillas on at leat two occasions (Vietnam and Afghanistan).
Superior numbers and equipment are less relevant in asymmetrical fights, but the US still did well in terms of numbers. The wars just became too unpopular before they could accomplish their goals (though I don't think Afghanistan is even capable of being stabilized under any real type of government).
