Nazi Germany Didn't Create the 'Blitzkrieg'

Massive attack plan. Probably would have taken forever to amass the power needed. Interesting story regardless

Interesting article. I wonder, though, if the tanks would have been able to sustain the deep penetrations and speedy advances required by the blitzkrieg model, or if the technology was just too young in 1919?

Thanks for the great article. I think it may be just partly right, though. Plan 1919 sounds like it employs the "Mass" of MOOSEMUSS, but not necessarily the "Maneuver." Like 1SG Steven Imerman said, the technology may not have been there yet for the speed and maneuver required of lightning warfare. Another significant difference is combined arms, or what today we might call "Multi-Domain Operations (MDO)." It wasn't just tanks. The reach of the JU-87 Stuka in coordinated strikes with the maneuver of Panzers and mechanized infantry are what overwhelmed the Poles and French and Russians (initially). The combined effects coming from air and land was the real new thing that made Blitzkrieg the lightning.
