Their plan was to unleash the power of the tank, grouping them into juggernauts that would slam into-and through-enemy lines, as aircraft supported them and ground forces swept in behind them. It was the Blitzkrieg. And it alerted the world that the deadly might of Germany could no longer be ignored...

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book start to finish highly recommended great narrator too
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I usually am not crazy about a book that doesn’t have a personal account from a soldier. However, this was an excellent book and kept my interest the detail was perfect. Not too much just enough furthermore there are many personal aspects from Churchill, Rommel etc… I recommend this book
