The reason why the Nazi German army was able to dominate Western Europe in World War II, sweep through Poland, France, and violently fight the British and French allies, causing heavy losses to the Soviet army, mainly because in this war, Nazi Germany invented the devil's tactic "blitzkrieg", and it was Guderian, the famous Nazi general of World War II, who invented the blitzkrieg.
To know that blitzkrieg is to cooperate with the quick advantage of aircraft and tanks, and to win in the form of a surprise attack, which is called blitzkrieg warfare. The concept of centralized use of tanks was also proposed by Guderian, but the tank was not invented by Germany, the first country to use the tank was Britain, and in the First World War, Britain invested in tanks, but saw that it was clumsy and unresponsive, and gave up research on tanks. Guderian, who saw tanks in World War I, is unforgettable.
Therefore, after the end of the First World War, Guderian often published the concept of the centralized use of strong mechanized troops in the military weekly, but his design concept was not optimistic about the people at that time, in order to get everyone's approval, he worked hard, did not know where to find, tanks, models of motorized troops, performed, and just this scene, was seen by Hitler, shouted three good, and hurriedly said: This is the tank corps I want, this is also a Maxima met Bole.
With Hitler's support, he soon created panzer divisions in the Nazi Wehrmacht, and Hitler also asked the engineer factory to speed up the production of mechanized weapons such as tanks, motorcycles, and aircraft, and as the number of tanks increased, it expanded from the original panzer division to the panzer corps. Think of tens of thousands of tanks attacking together, how spectacular and mighty the scene is!
Hitler, who had a lot of wings, wanted to pull his tank corps to the actual combat exercise, and the result was that Hitler was overjoyed, the aircraft in the sky, the tanks on the ground combined with the amazing speed of the attack, and soon destroyed the main Polish force, which made Hitler's ambitions more inflated, and the next target he attacked France, he also charged forward with tanks.
Hitler, who had tasted the sweetness of the blitzkrieg in Poland, asked Guderian to lead his tank corps to attack France, and Guderian said very confidently: I will drive my tank corps to the English Channel and cross France.
In fact, Guderian did not say anything big, in the next battle, the German army attacked France with the devil's tactics "blitzkrieg", Guderian personally came to the front line to command, realized his oath to cross France and drive tanks to the English Channel, so the tank corps he led became the reputation of the Nazi army's armored sharp knife and armored gallop, and Guderian's centralized use of tank tactics also created an unprecedented victory in the history of modern warfare.
Including later on the speed battlefield, the Germans were able to encircle and annihilate more than 700,000 Soviet troops in Kiev, mainly tanks with strong mobility, and surrounded them, and it was too late for the Soviets to react.
So in the end the Germans were defeated, but Guderian's military command skills, as well as the devil's tactical blitzkrieg he proposed, were praised by his opponents, and he was only freed after three years of imprisonment. In the early 1950s, Guderian was one of the military advisers and helped establish the defense system of the West German army. And his portrait still hangs in the barracks of the German panzer corps. Not only that, Guderian is also known as the father of armored soldiers and the father of blitzkrieg warfare in Western military circles.
