Generaloberst Heinz Guderian Speaking One on the most admired German officers produced by the Wehrmacht in World War II. His daring command of the spearheading panzer group crushed the French in little time. Commanding Panzer Group 2 Guderian stopped short of Moscow's southern area. Hitler appointed him Army Chief of Staff OKH Oberkommando des Heeres in 1944. Captured by the Allies in May 1945, Guderian was repatriated back to Germany in 1948. Both Poland and the USSR wished to place Guderian on trial as a war criminal. However, many in the West considered Guderian's service as honorable and of the upmost military professionalism. Generaloberst Heinz Wilhelm Guderian died on May 14, 1954, almost to the day of his Sedan breakthrough in France 1940.

WW2 - General Heinz Guderian After service as a staff officer in World War One, Heinz Guderian became first a signals, then a transport officer. It was this background, above all, which would lead to his emergence as the most innovative and effective of all German tank theorists. Guderian worked on the development of Germany's first tanks when they were still prohibited by the Treaty of Versailles. After Hitler's renunciation of the Treaty, Guderian was promoted to General and appointed commander of one of Germany's first three Panzer divisions. His book on the theory of armoured warfare, 'Achtung Panzer' was influential in shaping Germany' s armoured forces. Under the influence of British tank theorists, Guderian emphasised the independence of armoured formations. In battle, tank units were to be self-supporting, with their own artillery and motorised troops, rather than being dispersed to support infantry attacks. In the invasion of Poland in September 1939, Guderian led the 19th Army Corps. As his theories demanded, the armour struck ahead of the mass of infantry, penetrating deep into enemy territory. The results were astonishing. Even where the Poles offered stiff resistance, speed and unremitting pressure by tank commanders, combined with tactical air support brought speedy victory. In the May 1940 invasion of France, Guderian' s arguments were justified once more. Leading the 19th Panzer Corps, Guderian broke through French lines at Sedan, forced a crossing of the Meuse and struck out across France. The result was the cutting of Allied forces in two and ultimately, the British evacuation at Dunkirk and the Fall of France. As Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union unfolded, Guderian's Second Panzer Group seemed to be heading for yet another dramatic series of victories. However, the Russian winter and the determined Soviet counterattacks of early December brought Guderian' s advance to a halt. After making a tactical withdrawal to improve his defensive position, he was dismissed by Hitler on Christmas Day 1941. In March 1943, after the German disaster at Stalingrad, Guderian was recalled by Hitler and appointed Inspector of Armoured troops. Responsible for training, operations and tank production, Guderian wielded considerable power but met strong resistance to his reforms from political and military enemies. After the Bomb Plot against Hitler in July 1944, Guderian unlike other senior commanders, did not fall under suspicion. He was promoted to Army Chief of Staff. Guderian held the position until March 28th 1945, when a heated argument with Hitler resulted in his dismissal. Tags: German Hero Achtung Panzer Wehrmacht World War Two History |

Sabaton - 40:1 Sabaton - 40-1 Obrona Wizny rozegrała się w dniach 7-10 września 1939 roku w rejonie Wizny na północny-wschód od Łomży. Dowódcą odcinka był kapitan Władysław Raginis. Walki o Wiznę trwały od 7 do 10 września. Punkt oporu w okolicach Wizny jest nazywany Polskimi Termopilami. 720 Polaków odpierało atak liczącego 42 tys. żołnierzy XIX korpusu pancernego dowodzonego przez generała Heinza Guderiana. Niedostateczne wsparcie artyleryjskie i nasycenie pozycji własną piechotą i bronią przeciwpancerną pozwoliło Niemcom szturmować poszczególne obiekty i niszczyć je przy użyciu ładunków wybuchowych. Oddziały polskie broniły się z dużym bohaterstwem, opóźniając marsz niemieckiego korpusu. Symbolem oporu stał się dowódca odcinka, który po kapitulacji ostatniego schronu nie opuścił bronionej pozycji, wysadzając się granatem. Polscy żołnierze poddali się dopiero po tym, jak Guderian zagroził rozstrzelaniem jeńców wojennych. W okresie powojennym wszystkie schrony odcinka zostały zniszczone. W ruinach obiektu dowodzenia znajduje się pomnik. Stan zachowania pozostałych schronów jest bardzo zły i w większości nie są one czytelne. Dokładne straty Polaków nie są znane. Niewiele wiadomo o jeńcach wziętych przez wojska niemieckie. Szacuje się, że większość polskich żołnierzy zginęła w akcji, czterdziestu udało się wycofać z rejonu walk i tylu samo trafiło do niewoli. Powyższe dane jednak nie są weryfikowalne. Dokładne straty Niemców również nie są znane. W swoim dzienniku generał Heinz Guderian zaniżał liczbę poległych w akcji żołnierzy niemieckich. Jedyne co pewne to fakt, że Wehrmacht stracił w zmaganiach co najmniej 10 czołgów i kilka wozów bojowych. http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obrona_Wizny Bądź dumny - jesteś Polakiem.

Titkolt Ellenállás Hoth Páncélosai A videó készítője nem élteti sem Adolf Hitler-t,sem a Harmadik Birodalmat,és nem is a Mein Kampf a kedvenc könyve, csak pusztán nemzeti érzelmű...ez a videó pusztán csak kommunista ellenességéből született.... **************************************** Hermann Hoth (1885. április 12., Neuruppin -- 1971. január 25., Goslar) német tábornok volt a II. világháború idején. Katonai pályafutását gyalogosként kezdte, az I. világháborúban a Nagyvezérkarhoz került. A harmincas évek második felében kezdett igazán felfelé ívelni pályája. Guderian mellett a páncélos hadviselés lelkes szószólója volt. Részt vett Lengyelország lerohanásában, majd Franciaország megtámadása idején szerzett hírnevet, ekkor alatta szolgált Rommel is. A Szovjetunió megtámadásakor Hoepner és Guderian alakulataival együtt az ő csapatai hajtották végre a nagy bekerítő hadmozdulatokat. Egységei már majdnem Moszkva városig jutottak, de az ellentámadás hatásra kénytelen volt visszavonulni. Később Sztálingrád alatt és a kurszki csatában sem sikerült a szovjeteket legyőznie. 1943-ban, Kijev feladása után Hitler menesztette. Jó parancsnokként szinte mindig az első vonalban tartózkodott, katonái Hoth papának becézték. **************************************** A dal szövege: Végig a Kaukázus vadregényes táján, Az Orosz síneken a vasút talpfáján Mint középkornak vértes lovagjai Dübörögve jönnek Hoth páncélosai Legázolnak mindent élőket, holtakat Ízzé, porrá zúzzák az Orosz tankokat Kitartóak ők, mint éhes ordasok Jönnek, egyre jönnek a Hoth páncélosok Ref.: Bolsevikot pusztít a fekete halál Zsákmányt keres ordas, prédára vár a sakál Védelmi vonalak kártyaként omlanak Amint a páncélosok össztüzet ontanak Hatalmas mennydörgés rázza meg a földet Jelzi a tigrisek megint célba lőttek Fekete sapkákon ezüst halálfej Kinek rossz ómen, kinek égi jel Büszke sólymok zord hegyek ormain Állnak a tisztek a harckocsik tornyain Ref.: Bolsevikot pusztít a fekete halál Zsákmányt keres ordas, prédára vár a sakál Leszáll az éj, füstfelhő az égen De még tart a csata, folyik az már régen Harckocsi oszlop most lépcsőben támad Repülők kísérik bombazápor árad Eljő a hajnal vége a csatának Hoth tiszteleg kitartó páncélos hadának Égő harckocsikban, halott katonáknak Kik hős fiai voltak az új Európának Tags: Titkolt Ellenállás Hoth Páncélosai |

Jagdpanzer IV Sd.Kfz. 162 The Jagdpanzer IV, Sd.Kfz. 162, was a tank destroyer based on the Panzer IV chassis built in three main variants. It was developed against the wishes of Heinz Guderian, the inspector general of the Panzertruppen, as a replacement for the Stug III. Guderian objected against the needless, in his eyes, diversion of resources from Panzer IV tank production, as the Stug III and Stug IV were still more than adequate for their role.

(1/5)TANKS!: Blitzkrieg; A Blueprint for Victory Videos Running Time 00:48:00 in 5 Parts TANKS!: Blitzkrieg A Blueprint for Victory --SUBSCRIBE TO EXCELLENT World War II VIDEOS---- --UPLOADED Weekly--- This episode of the excellent series Tanks; chronicles the early days of the panzer force, and blitzkrieg tactics. The dominance of blitzkrieg lay with superior tactics, radio communication, training and air support of the Whermacht. Before World War II the German Army spent considerable time training armored forces. Many in the German High Command refused to be swayed by the younger officer corps, that deep attacks into the enemy rear was the wave of the future. Many conservative generals reasoned that; logistical problems would doom a deep thrust attack to failure. Prior to World War II, then Col. Heinz Guderian authored a book titled Auctung Panzer. Guderians brilliant theories expanded on the prior writings of British General Fuller and Liddell Hart. Most nations still clung to the old theory of tanks supporting infantry, rather than infantry supporting tanks. Guderians theories found acceptance with Hitler, who expanded the armor program into practice. Even though, the French and British based their defense of France and the Low Countries on old military theories, their equipment in some cases was superior to the Germans. The Panzer I was considered a training tank, with halftrack armor protection and 2 machine guns. The Panzer II was a reconnaissance tank with little armor protection and a 20mm cannon. These two panzers were almost worthless in tank to tank duels with the Allies Char-1b, S-35 and Matlida tanks. The Panzer III, with heavier armor protection, and a 37mm anti-tank gun, was the Germans main battle tank. The heavier Panzer IV possessed similar amour protection as the Panzer III, but was designed as an infantry support tank. The Panzer IV possessed a 75mm low-velocity gun. The captured stock pile of Czech T-38s after the invasion of Czechoslovakia added a welcomed addition to most panzer divisions. Gen. Mansteins brilliant plan played into the Allied High Commands assumption that the main German attack would drive through the Low Countries. The Whermachts superior tactics and the Allies panic turned the German attack into a rout.

Kursk-A rugged start for the Panthers The Panther first saw action at Kursk on 5 July 1943. Early tanks were plagued with mechanical problems: the track and suspension often broke, and the engine was dangerously prone to overheating and bursting into flames. At Kursk, more Panthers were disabled by their own failings than by enemy action. For example, the XLVIII Panzer Corps reported on 10 July 1943, that they had 38 Panthers operational and 131 awaiting repair, out of about 200 they had started with on 5 July. Heinz Guderian, who had not wanted Hitler to order them into combat so soon, later remarked about the early Panther's performance in the battle: "they burnt too easily, the fuel and oil systems were insufficiently protected, and the crews were lost due to lack of training." Guderian also stated, however, that the firepower and frontal armor were good. While many of the Panthers used at Kursk were damaged or suffered from mechanical difficulties, only a small number was lost for good; the tanks also achieved success, with 263 Soviet tanks claimed destroyed.[citation needed] Although its frontal armour was thinner than the Tiger's, it was also much more sloped and proved harder for Soviet shells to penetrate.

One of the marvels of 20th Century technology, the Maginot Line, gave the French a false sense of Security. Unfortunately, for the French and British, they were led by perhaps the worst general and leader of World War II. General Maurice Gamelin led a disastrous campaign that fed right into the Germans plans. On paper the French and British forces were impressive. French tanks were superior too many of the German models. The Char IB and S-35 were stand outs in the French arsenal. However, the French amour was dispersed among infantry units and handled with a complete emphasis on infantry support. The Germans doctrine, of Blitzkrieg emphasized concentration, breakthrough and exploitation of openings in the front with powerful armored forces. With Germans generals Manstein, Guderian, Rommel, Kleist and Hoth the French forces were completely outwitted.
