      "Blitzkrieg" is the beginning of the end of Europe! Because it was the greatest stupidity in the history of Europe, which, in the end, cost Europe 50 million killed Western and Eastern Europeans. So that today Europe, in order to survive, is forced to attract millions of other, non-European peoples to its territory...

    Hitler & Stalin attacked Poland at the same time,they did not stand a chance.

      That is not true. The germans attacked Poland first and had it already almost finished of when Stalin joint them. Thats why Germany called the russians Erntehelfer, which means harvest hand, during this campaign. Poland was finished in three weeks by the mighty Wehrmacht and were pushed back into a few pockets and hiding behind civiliance. To not harm more civiliance or cause too much collateral damage, A.H. wanted them to surrender, thats why it took a few more weeks till the poles were finished.

    The Germans did not use the term "blitzkreig." It was partly a press creation, and partly a creation of the imaginations of those forces who crumbled before the German onslaught. Armies and generals who were beaten so badly, used the term "blitzkreig" to name a terrrifying new style of battle. In fact, there was nothing new in blitzkreig; it was just intensively aggressive combined arms warfare, involving tanks, artillery, aircraft and foot soldiers. But an important part of the German arsenal were anti-sleep pills, provided by the thousands to all members of the German armed forces. Most men were fighting without rest for five and six days at a time.
