It's true that Germany was able to rise above Britain in land forces and was going to surpass Britain in the industry because of Rhineland (or more of the West Germany) was filled with coal just like MOAP said and Germany did use U-boats but wasn't Britain still ahead in tech, they did have tanks first in the frontlines. And Britain had a large colonial empire that would aid them if the British Islands fell under enemy control while Germany didn't really have that great colonies, if I remember correctly only one of German colony was profitable for Germany (either New Guinea or Tanzania), other colonies had to get financial aid from Germany.
