Born in Kulm, Germany, on 17 June 1888, Heinz Wilhelm Guderian was
the son of an army officer. He eventually joined the German Army
and was commissioned in the Jaegers in 1908 where he became a
communications specialist. He fought in the First World War and
afterwards was a member of the right-wing Freikorps units. Between
the wars, Guderian became a catalyst for developing a Panzer
division in the German Army. By February 1938 he had been promoted
to Lieutenant General; later that year Hitler appointed Guderian to
the new post of Chief of Mobile Troops. Guderian was a man of ideas
equipped with the ability to turn inspiration into reality. A
master of strategy and tactics, he was the officer who led the
attack on Poland in September and in so doing introduced the world
to the reality of Blitzkrieg. This biography draws on material from
Enigma sources and information taken directly from the extensive
Guderian family archives to explore the man who was partly
responsible for the development of modern tank warfare and who is
considered to be the father of Blitzkrieg.The author also looks at
Guderian s reaction to the July 1944 plot to kill Hitler as well as
illuminates the struggles within the German hierarchy, in the
process investigating why Guderian was so admired by some while
denigrated by others.
