In that case a little reading on “Plan 1919” by a certain J.F.C. Fuller may be of interest… Blitzkrieg in WW1…

The major inspiration for “Achtung Panzer” by Guderian, I believe.

Of course there was always Liddel-Hart in the early 30’s as well.

I’ve got Achtung Panzer upstairs, I’ll check it in the morning, but I think that Guderian credits Lidell-Hart and Fuller with most of his ideas in the introduction.

i’ve always wondered, why the western allies never used their m3 halftracks supporting fierce counterattacks like germany’s Skz251s.
