General Heinz Guderian's revolutionary strategic vision and his
skill in armored combat brough Germany its initial victories during
World War II. Combining Guderian's land offensive with Luftwaffe
attacks, the Nazi Blitzkrieg decimated the defenses of Poland,
Norway, France--and, very neatly, Russia--at the war's outset. But
in 1941, when Guderian advised that ground forces should take a
step back, Hitler dismissed him. In these pages, the outspoken
general shares his candid point of view on what would have led
Germany to victory, and what ensured that it didn't. In addition to
providing a rare inside look at key members of the Nazi party,
Guderian reveals in detail how he developed the Panzer tank forces
and orchestrated their various campaigns, from the break through at
Sedan to his drive to the Channel coast that virtually decided the
Battle of France. "Panzer Leader"became a bestseller within one
year of its original publication in 1952 and has since been
recognized as a classic account of the greatest conflict of our
time.
