"I forced myself to read this before reading Guderian's 'Panzer Leader', just to give myself a little more background or insight into the author. I'm very happy that I did.
'Achtung Panzer' shows how Guderian brings about his concept of how to use armour (or any new technology to gain the upper hand) for future conflicts; the blueprint for the so-called 'blitzkrieg' or combined arms approach, with an emphasis on armoured/mechanized units leading the way.
It starts off rather slow, but, I guess, necessarily, with accounts of the Great War, interspersed with comments on how things should have been done/could have been done better.
It's perhaps the last 4th of the book that contains the more straightforward discussion of what is needed to create such a force and how to employ it (using surprise and terrain, and deploying the force 'en masse' at a decisive point, and his insistence on the use of radios, being the most memorable ones for me)."
"Quite possibly the seminal book in 20th Century War Studies because out of it came the then-most fearful war machine in the history of the world. The key to this book is in understanding Guderian's broad theory: mobilization, coordination and communication. If you don't know anything about WWII, steer clear of this one. If you do, then this might interest you. If you're an armoured warfare buff, this is a must-read."
