Summary
This is one of the most significant military books of the twentieth century. By an outstanding soldier of independent mind, it pushed forward the evolution of land warfare and was directly responsible for German armoured supremacy in the early years of the Second World War.
Published in 1937, the result of 15 years of careful study since his days on the German General Staff in the First World War, Achtung Panzer! argues how vital the proper use of tanks and supporting armoured vehicles would be in the conduct of a future war. When that war came, just two years later, he proved it, leading his Panzers with distinction in the Polish, French and Russian campaigns. Panzer warfare had come of age, exactly as he had forecast.This first English translation of Heinz Guderian's classic book - used as a textbook by Panzer officers in the war - has an introduction and extensive background notes by the modern English historian Paul Harris.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

don't expect a word on anything beyond mid 1930's
this book was published in Germany in 1937, and thus misses out on what could have been. it spends vasts amount of time quoting ww1 battles and how many men, arty and planes, machine guns etc each side put in. surely it leads to the conclusion that more guns, bigger guns, better protection for the guns (alas a tank) is the best way to win battles. I was even expecting some sort of ideas with regards to numbers based on how much went into numbers of units early on, but no. if I had to guess, the book was written as an advert to those controlling German purse strings in 1930s to "buy more tanks and less other stuff"
