Who invented The Blitzkrieg tactical warfare?
Heinz Guderian is often (but mistakenly) cited as the inventor of blitzkrieg tactics. It was in fact developed toward the end of WW1 - as a response to the awful static trench warfare that had developed. There was certainly a new school of thought developing around the use of surprise and of coordinated attack. Several individuals could be argued as having played roles in it's development. One such person was John Monash - one of the earliest proponents of this thinking and also the first to put it into action at the battle of Hamel (much to the horror of the orthodox European high command at the time). This seems to be the first time that the use of surprise and combined arms were combined together for devastating effect. It was an extension of the earlier battle of Cambrai - which had experimented in small ways along these lines. The outstanding success of the plan changed the way the war was fought - and accelerated the end of world war one. Ironically, after experiencing first hand the fear that a coordinated attack can have on an enemy, the likes of Major General Heinz Guderian, a German soldier who fought against the Australians at Amien, studied the approach and incorporated it into German battle strategies. In World War II, Guderian became a crucial leader in the Monash-style blitzkrieg strategy that led to German dominance in the first half of the war. He certainly was the key German player who made it so famous in WWII.
