About “Blitz-kreig”
Blitzkrieg by Len Deighton examines the period from Germany's defeat in 1918 to the implementation of the "lightning war" strategy in the early stages of World War II. The book analyzes how the Allies' psychological unpreparedness and adherence to traditional, slow-moving battle tactics contributed to their defeat in 1940, despite being stronger in armor, and highlights the role of Heinz Guderian and the Wehrmacht's mechanized forces in executing the Blitzkrieg.
