People forget the Germans were not fully mechanized. They had to use animals to pull much of their equipment. Germans were actually surprised when they first came against Americans, who were totally mechanized.
Very interesting. General Sir Henry Rawlinson with planning by the Australian commander John Monash, used combined tanks, aircraft and infantry on a broader front to break through the Hindenburgh line in September 1918. This lead to the eventual collapse of the German army on the western front. It might not have been called blitzkrieg, but that was the first use of such combined tactics. However, the devastating affect was not lost on the Germans, who perfected its use in 1939/40.
Actually the German general Ludendorff created the "Sturmann" (Stormtrooper). They broke the Trench warfare deadlock in 1918 and broke through the trenches. While the Germans lost WW1 in the end, the blitzkrieg was born then and grew up in the interwar period.
In a courtroom David Irving said, “if the soldiers that stormed the Normandy beaches in June 1944 could see England as it is today they wouldn’t have gone 40 yards up that beach”.

@@nikaluss5946 There's no denying that Rommel was a brilliant commander at a tactical level, but he had noticeable flaws on an operational level and was completely out of his depth at the strategic level.
That’s fair to a degree, but you also gotta remember that he predicted the landing place of the western front. Normandy. So he wasn’t “lesser than” by any stretch.
von Schlieffen is the correct name. His last words before he died was: "Make a right arm really strong". This means he suggested a two wing attack with a stronger right flank attacking the Netherlands.

Great comparing the different tank concepts of the various armies. Like how the Germans would reuse/utilize opponent's tanks. Concepts and maneuverability gave Germany an advantage. Blitzkrieg would overwhelm the Allies. Had the French been better coordinated with the British and knew any concept of modern tactics of war, the Allies could have held/counter the Germans. British were lucky to evacuate back to England. Comprehensive Analysis. Thank you.
Both J.F.C. Fuller and Basil Liddell Hart developed and published these tactics early. The principal difference is that the English and French ignored them. While the German high command embraced then. Charles de Gaulle in France tried to wake the high command. Yer the English stuck their heads in the dand, snd the French were to stuck into focusing on a repeat of World war one. That is the major difference. The fault lay into the thinking of those at the highest levels of command. Air power was treated in a errily similar manner.

@@Acer_Maximinus Hey there Maple ! We almost never consider the number of animal casualties around our wars. Look at the destruction. Imagine the number of animals that were impacted. I'd guess the number of songbirds killed at billions !!!
Yes he was a tactical genius. Pre-war, Guderian and others had all the articles of British war theorists, General Fuller and Basil Liddell Hart translated and available for study the day after they appeared in the British press. Fuller and Liddell Hart probably invented the tactic of blitzkrieg for Guderian to perfect. The biographies of Guderian and Liddell Hart confirm this. The co-ordinated attack of troops, tanks and aeroplanes in the battle of Hamel in late WW1 was the first time this tactic was used. There was no motorised infantry at that time. The British saw how successful the tactic was but failed to take it up despite the pleadings of Fuller and Liddell Hart. It was left to the Germans to adopt with devastating effect.
Of course, giving any credit to Triandafillov for working out the Blitzkrieg between 1926 and 1929, - or to Red Army for actually putting together the first massed tank units, the 11th and 45th mechanized corps, - would be completely unacceptable 🙂
You are well informed. I read a book where the creation of lightning warfare by the Soviets was explained. I am stunned that these guys omitted this completely.

I have to point out that James S. Corum, the author of The Roots of Blitzkreig, gives more credit to Oswald Lutz and Alfred von Vollard-Bockelberg, than to Guderian. He does say that Guderian played a "central role". Lutz and Vollard-Bockelberg were predecessors in the development of German tank development and armor doctrine.

Satellites and drones have nothing to do with it. As far as the war in Ukraine, Blitzkrieg tactics can not be used because both sides can not attain air superiority due to extensive AA weapons.
The worlds first modern use of the Tank and integrated tactics was the first battle of Cambrai in late 1917 . Initially successful the advance ran out of steam in no small way due to the unreliability of the tanks. The plan called for infantry supported by tanks and artillery and close support air cover. In essence what the Germans copied and became known as Blitzkrieg ,
They didn’t copy J.F.C Fuller went to Germany and they embraced his ideas and tech! Heinz even bought and paid for Fuller’s book to be translated into German he kept that book with him at all times
What is the point of those rotating 3D models? They're very badly done, they're usually the wrong version of tank and they have practically no details worth seeing. How can a video be about the Blitzkrieg when it only covers the tanks? Wheeled vehicles and air support played a major part. The different radio systems of France and Germany also should be covered. This video isn't about Guderian OR the Blitzkrieg, it's just a rundown of the tanks of 1940. ERRATA At 15:10 the MGs in the turret were NOT either side of the main gun. They were in a single combined mount at the right side. The loader could take control of them. At 15:35 there's a 3D model that's supposed to represent this layout - but it has only one MG. At 16:50 the Panzer 4 model has an MG attached to its cupola. There was no such attachment. At 17:24 the tank has a largely fake mockup turret. The narrator spends the next 2 minutes talking about it like it was a real one and showing us details that are not good reproductions. At 17:30 the narrator tells us that this early cupola was "extended". It was NOT. All of the Panzer 4 cupolas were the same height, this one just had thinner walls. That's a serious error, he talks about the cupola as if he knows it, but obviously he doesn't.

Nice vids ! However, the tanks in the video miniature made by AI are horrible 😆 ( sadly AI generated are polluting historical imagery on internet 😮💨 )
Heinz Guderian was no military genius. He was successful only against weak countries like France and Poland. In the case of Poland, the blitzkrieg was successful due to help from Soviet Union. The German operation typhoon which was spearheaded by Guderian himself failed to take over Moscow and he was dismissed. I think it is best to remember Guderian for his memoirs in which he portrayed himself as the sole originator of the German panzer force and omitted the crimes he committed. Guderian surrendered to the USA in 1945 and in 1948 he was released without charge despite his war crimes including the criminal Commissar order.
Im not the sharpest tool in the shed..however is it confirmed that Britain tanks had 5 gears in reverse ..to accomplish a splendid retreat... by Joe jolly good show old chap...
Bit outdated, got to Poland so far, says Poland was a great victory. But modern analysis challenges this, the German army lost loads of men, 7000, and without the help of the Russians the campaign would probably have become deadlocked. The German army had to be retrained in preparation for the invasion of France. So, so far, not up with the modern historiography.
Guderian simply implemented Colonel Fuller papers from the 1920s…Spainish Civil war proved the resting ground particularly with radio communications and then bobs your uncle !!.
False. Consider actually reading "Achtung-Panzer!" You'll see Guderian was well beyond Fuller in the development of combined arms operations and other elements.
Blitzkrieg and Deep battle originated in between the two world wars and in a city called KHAZAN Liddle heart...nonody even heard about this guy until after the war...in fact both the Prussian and Russian general staffs got astonished when this clown got mentioned
Your comment makes absolutely no sense. Gen. Guderian hasnt commanded an army from 1941 onwards so how does that belittle his credentials? Between 39-41 won 12 Battles, 2nd most of all German generals despite being not commanding on the frontline for the 4 remaining years of the war. What is your point?
100% wrong. He was one of the first to do it, granted but he didn't develop it. Combined arms was first done by an Australian called Monash in WWI. All Guderian ACTUALLY did was put wireless sets in vehicles. THIS is why real historians laugh at u tube...
