Blitzkrieg – Guderian's War Memoirs

Memoirs of General Guderian's War

Development, Tactics, Potential of Armored Forces".

Heinz Wilhelm Guderian (Heinz Wilhelm Guderian, German "Army General", military strategist, theorist, tactician, is the founder of "blitzkrieg", and also the advocate of "armored warfare" and "tank warfare", known as the "father of German armored forces". He was a famous German army general in World War II, with the highest rank of general.

Before the outbreak of World War II, Guderian advocated the use of tanks and mechanized troops in modern warfare, and under his theory of organization and promotion, Germany established a most efficient armored force at that time, repeatedly defeated the enemy, and was the promoter of the development of war types such as combined arms operations and front-line command.

Guderian is the founder of the army's tactical "blitzkrieg" (the prototype of the blitzkrieg was proposed by Schlieffen), known as the "father of blitzkrieg" by historians, and is known as the three famous generals of Nazi Germany during World War II along with Manstein and Rommel, and is also known as the "Imperial Eagle" of the German Third Reich.

Because of disobedience, he withdrew several times. Finally, go home and hug your grandchildren!

Guderian, of course, for the following reasons:

Guderian developed and practiced the theory of armored warfare, pioneered blitzkrieg, and achieved brilliant results. Although Patton was also one of the generals of the US Army in World War II, he achieved it at that time under the condition of great air superiority and logistical material superiority, and it can be said that Patton's armored assault in Western Europe could be launched without taking into account the flanks. Although the German army under Guderian's command was in its heyday, the German army did not have an advantage over the total strength of the enemy army (coalition army, Red Army), and was even slightly inferior to the opponent.

Guderian was able to give full play to the art of command and crush powerful enemies one by one. Impressive results. The contrast between him and General Patton speaks for itself.

It must be Guderian, Patton just caught up with the most fully equipped US military, and there was no more innovation and management in the command of personnel and combat readiness, but Guderian was different, he grew up in the high-pressure environment of Hitler in Germany, and was a cut above Patton in the innovation and application of tactics, and many ideas and strategic plans were very advanced, but they were vetoed by Hitler one by one.

It should be Guderian Guderian is very good both tactically and strategically He can be said to be one of the most talented generals in Germany at that time The blitzkrieg he founded played a very huge role in German World War II He is the ancestor of the armored vanguard theory Compared to Patton, he is slightly inferior Although he is also in command of armored forces, but Patton lacks a grasp of the overall situation It can be said that Guderian is an excellent commander Patton is a brave and good warrior.

It has to be Guderian, among the generals of the American army, if you want to compare, it is better to compare with Ridgway.

Probably Guderian, because of his failure for his reasons.

Commander of the German Nazi Air Force Goering.

In addition, I feel that although he has a talent for military affairs, his talent seems to be exaggerated, because he is the commander of the Allied forces (that is, the so-called side of justice), and his victory in North Africa has a greater impact. If all other factors are excluded (Rommel's defeat was influenced by many factors, such as the lack of foresight of the German upper echelons and the inability of logistical supplies to keep up, etc.), then the two of them duel on fair terms, I think Rommel should be the winner. The word "justice" is for the victors, and it is used by the victors to praise themselves, so I think whoever stands on the stage of victory in the end is the righteous (just as history is distorted by the victors).

The two marshals are both important figures in military history, both have similar personalities, both are relatively arrogant, and both take good care of their subordinates. But in terms of contribution to the development of tactics, Rommel contributed even more, he combined blitzkrieg with a wide range of roundabouts, and repeatedly staged the miracle of winning more with less, while Montgomery's tactical style was more conservative and cautious, so that although he could avoid a big defeat, it was also difficult to achieve a big victory, and in the Western European theater, his style brought a lot of losses to the troops, for example, in Caen, he advanced less than 1 kilometer in one day at the cost of 300 tanks, which is staggering. On the contrary, in less than six weeks of fighting in the French campaign, Rommel's armored division advanced many kilometers, including the last four days, capturing more than 10,000 enemy troops, tanks, trucks, and hundreds of artillery pieces at the cost of more than 10,000 people, creating a miracle in the history of warfare.

So personally, I prefer Rommel's tactical style, and in my opinion, it is not too much to be named the Hannibal of the twentieth century for his achievements, and Montgomery's title of marshal is really not worthy of the name.

Blitzkrieg is only the introduction to mechanized warfare, and great depth is the mature expression of mechanized warfare. I'll give you an example: on the reserve side, the blitzkrieg has only a small reserve and requires a quick defeat of the opponent after the start of the battle.

The Great Depth divides the troops into two large parts, one part is used to open the gap, and the other is to immediately attack from the gap to the depth. Judging from the actual combat later, after breaking through the anti-tank fire position of the enemy's close relative Sun Laji, the high-speed sliding team of the assault department often lost the ability to continue the assault, and only a strong reserve force could complete the in-depth assault at this time. Tukhachevsky could have imagined the future battlefield situation in the 30s, but Guderian was on the Soviet-German front in the 40s and could not understand this truth.
