Summary
Achtung Panzer!: The Forefather of Blitzkrieg
Published in 1937, this book is the result of 15 years of study by Guderian, stemming from his time on the German General Staff in World War I. Guderian argues the vital importance of tanks and supporting armored vehicles in future warfare. Just two years later, he proved his theories correct, leading his Panzers with distinction in the Polish, French, and Russian campaigns. Achtung Panzer! accurately forecasts the dawn of Panzer warfare.

About The Author
Heinz Guderian
Born in 1888, Heinz Guderian served in World War One. He came to Hitler’s attention in 1935, was made corps commander of Panzer troops, and promoted to General in 1938. His tanks were greatly successful in the invasions of Poland and France and, perceived as pro-Nazi, Guderian was much in favor. However, when the Russian invasion failed in the winter of 1941, Guderian was forced to resign, not to regain his position until 1944, when the war was all but lost. He died in Bavaria in 1954.
