It's more like Germany had a test run in Spain where they got to try out all of their new toys and strategies in a live environment. While everyone else was still planning for a new round of trench warfare.

I think it's funny that everyone thinks that Germany had the most advanced tech they didn't. They did have the most advanced presses and they did have more refined metallurgical processes. But that's because they didn't have any good local sources of iron. Just a lot of magnesium and coal.

Tldr being really good in a few Fields out of 30 odd Fields required for warfare does not make you the most technologically advanced. But it does make your industry make fewer tanks with thicker armor.
