Krupp's supremacy was cemented during the Franco-Prussian war. No matter how much elan the French showed, it was no match for the superiority of Krupp arms, causing the withering of the French Army at Sedan.

Ever read Manchester's "The Arms of Krupp"?

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
