In the First World War many battles of the Western Front had lasted
many weeks or several months. All too often battles had degenerated
into glacial and indecisive campaigns of national attrition. By the
1930s, however, military science had recreated the possibility of a
decisive battle. An unprecedented rate of technological change
meant that a stream of new inventions were readily at hand for
military innovators to exploit. Aircraft, armoured vehicles and new
forms of motorised transport became available to make possible a
fresh style of offensive warfare when the next European war began
in 1939. A belief in the importance of effective war fighting was
vital to the Nazi vision of Germany's future. Nazi Germany's
political and military leaders aimed for rapid and decisive victory
in battle. From 1939-45 new ideologies and new machines of war
carried destruction across the globe. In World War II: A Military
History Alan Warren chronicles the sixteen most decisive battles of
the Second World War from the Blitzkrieg in Poland to the fall of
Berlin.
