The german resistance strength may not have been large but it had been effective against the 90th.
Which is the point exactly. The easy conclusion is to assume that that means the germans were 'strong'. The other side of the coin though is that it's just as easy to assume that the 90th was 'weak'.
The german 'strength' here lay in 1 simple fact, they made far better use of what the situation allowed for or dictated. Loosely translated, the 90th didn't and that's quite likely in large part due to (lack of) training.
