wehrmacht
if deformed 70 iq amerimutts can beat them than the wehrmacht also can beat them
Wrong.
From 2014 - current day, IS faced an unprecedented coalition that was never seen in modern history before on the battlefield.
I will only concede that Germany faced bigger warfare in the propaganda field against them because it's been over 100 years and people still don't know their true side of history.
Can you imagine Russia and USA? Israel and Hezbollah? Japan and England and France and Saudi Arabia? Turkey and Jordan and Qatar and Canada? These are just the few powerful nations...don't even let me get into other rebel and proxy factions, and mercenary groups e.g. Wagner, and numerous upon numerous of airstrikes on a daily regular for YEARS as well as collective Iraqi man-power across their national troops and Shi'ite death militias funded by Iran.
Without a air force? Nobody would beat ISIS.
Facts. People don't realize there's nothing you can do when a several-ton VBIED coming at you at 130 mph, whether or not you're in a tank yourself. You've literally lost. I've said before IS suicide bombings are the poor man's drone. Try to destroy it and the explosion still occurs and vanquishes you.
On top of that, then you'd have IS troops waiting for the mushroom cloud before driving forward to advance and finish everything off in a zealous frenzy.
Isis would have modern tanks it's game over for useless King Tiger that would break anyway while trying to change gears

IS raiding all of Iraq from banks and military depots to chemical facilities, disposing of fighting males and capturing women and children in their right hand.
These are US-grade weapons at their disposal by the way, as Iraqi government gets needlessly spoiled by the US.
They've also raided airports and depots in Syria so they genuinely had access to military jets but were limited in number and training. They also started manufacturing drones, rocket launchers, their own gold dinar currency, etc. IS > Wehrmacht in terms of weapon technology.
But if we put both sides on a equal technological field i would say wehrmacht due to logistic and far more cohesive leadership.
Baghdadi had years of experience fighting unconventional warfare against US troops and allies post-Iraq invasion. A lot of ISI was made-up of AQ veterans who had experience fighting Soviets in Afghanistan, and Russian troops in Chechyna, etc. ISIS war minister Omar al-Shishani had experience fighting against Russians in Caucus and Syria before joining IS.
IS leadership is surprisingly adept since they've all pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, and he has the ultimate say in command.
Driven troops are just as good as leadership. I will not look down upon wehrmacht's will, but nobody has heart of Islamic State. It cannot be replicated in anyway outside of Islam at the very least. For IS, victory is in fighting for the sake of Allah and dying for the sake of Allah.

"Or do you, O America, consider defeat to be the loss of a city or the loss of land? Were we defeated when we lost the cities in Iraq and were in the desert without any cities and land? And would we be defeated and you be victorious if you were to take Mosul or Sirte or Raqqa or even take all our cities and we were to return to our initial condition? Certainly not. True defeat is the loss of willpower and desire to fight."
Now...I will not belittle Germans in this scenario, but I am skeptical. Because AQI had US troops crying and commiting domestic attacks when they got undeployed, festering with PTSD. Islamist groups in Chechyna made Russian troops face a similar reality.
Islamic State is a nightmare-fueled version of their contemporaries. Slaughterhouse video? Burning the Jordan pilot alive in the cage? Crucification but cutting off hands and gets and branding eyes with hot iron?
I don't think Wehrmacht will do well at all in psychological warfare against IS. Demoralization in their forces will occur.
