Танковый блицкриг

Blitzkrieg. Now this word is familiar, probably to everyone. Short, like a shot, ringing like a flick of a bullet through the armor, clanging like the tanks of tanks - at the beginning of World War II it terrified all of Europe. ‘Lightning war!’ Crushing blows of the German tank wedges, rapid tank raids on the enemy's rear, grandiose ‘boilers’, thousands of columns of prisoners. Burning Warsaw, French roads frozen by refugees, tortured by caterpillars Russian fields ... This is Blitzkrieg. Winning strategy. A universal instrument of maneuver warfare, which enabled the Wehrmacht to smash any enemy. It seemed that the Panzerwaffe could not be stopped. It seemed that Hitler's tank divisions would reach the Urals, to Iran, to India - under the triumphant march ‘Panzer voran!’ (‘Tanks, forward!’), Under the slogan ‘Victory follows the tracks of tanks’ ... So it seemed - until I found a braid on the stone. While the German panthers have not dissolved in the vast expanses of Russia. While the Red Army has not risen in the way of the Hitler blitzkrieg ... This book is the deepest study of the strategy of ‘blitzkrieg’, the story of the rise and fall of the Panzerwaffe, of the grandiose triumphs and the crushing collapse of the tank blitzkrieg.
