WW 156 Panzer Commander 1

Since the German rearmament, the attack system designed by Hitler, needed a high mobility army, based mainly on armored units and troop transports that would place in the heart of the enemy territory, the maximum number of soldiers in the minimum possible time.

The tanks, were the fundamental weapon of the blitzkrieg or lightning war.

A large number of highly trained young officers allowed the German tanks to successfully confront similar French and Russian units that had superior vehicles to the Germans but lacked the training and determination of the soldiers of the Third Reich.
