Rommel joke

1, German Field Marshal manstein proposed a blitzkrieg to France, and the Fuehrer passed the plan. Blitzkrieg, in a nutshell, is to make a comprehensive breakthrough by using attack support machines, tactical bombers, fighter planes, disintegrated formations in the air, and the army's fast armored forces. The infantry followed, causing the enemy to collapse in an instant. The eastern front defeated countless Soviet troops with blitzkrieg. Because of the understanding of the operational mode of the Soviet Union, he advocated a strategic retreat. When the enemy's situation was unknown, he used armored forces to fight back and directly fought back along the enemy's attack route. Facts have proved that this tactic is very terrible. This is the full embodiment of knowing yourself and yourself, and it is also the performance of an excellent strategist. But later, due to the Fuehrer's order not to retreat, manstein's use of this tactic was banned. Tell Manstein to leave. To sum up, he is considered by the Allies to be the best Axis Commander-in-Chief.

2. Field Marshal Rommel, who did not join the army during World War I, volunteered to be the commander of the Fifth Light Tank Division before World War II. As a pioneer of the group army, he set a record for the number of prisoners in a single unit. In Yellow Lightning, there is another joke that Rommel is too fast. When his troops arrived to the east of Gaokalkaday and accepted thousands of prisoners, the main force was still on the border with France, and even the chief of staff thought that Rommel had been killed early in the morning.

After the French campaign, he was promoted to lieutenant general, and took the initiative to serve as the command of the rescue force after the Italian army failed in the battlefield in North Africa. When he arrived in Libya with the Fifth Light Tank Division, Berlin never gave an order to let them stay, but the Fuehrer's promised 15 armored division arrived late, and the post of commander of the African armored regiment was vacant. Later, Rommel found that the British army was poor in quality and disorganized. Without the command of the headquarters, they raided Aragay, occupied Ajida a week later, and occupied Benghazi port on April 4. At this point, the heads of state of Berlin and Rome were scared to death, accusing Rommel of arbitrariness, but they all acquiesced in his behavior. At the Allied Command, he cursed the commander of North Africa and wanted to be dismissed, but he was afraid that it would affect morale. Later, he sent a new commander to joint command. At this time, the number of Germans was only over 20,000, with only three divisions (Rommel only commanded two), the Italian army with no combat capability was 65,438+10,000, and the British army in cyrenaica had180,000. But Rommel reoccupied it. Rommel knew that he only had light tanks of No.3 and No.4 chariots, while the British army had a large number of medium tanks, crusader tanks and countless infantry tanks. But their own tanks are very fast, and marching in the desert can make the light armored forces play perfectly. Tactics are mainly infantry frontal assault, armored forces move quickly from the periphery, and then cross-cut the enemy. This tactic is very similar to fox sneak attack, so it is called desert fox. Rommel, on the other hand, used the rock defense, the mobility of light tanks and the cross fire support of 88 guns in the British "Operation Tomahawk" to force the 4th and 7th armored brigades (equipped with medium and heavy tanks) of the British to resist with the strength of a battalion, and made a circuitous attack within three days to defeat the British.

There are four divisions in the later period of African armored forces: the fifth light armored division and the fifteenth armored division. In the later period, two motorized infantry divisions, Ram and Trieste in Italy, were put into operation (trained by the German army, which was extremely effective), but there was no supply at all (half of them were captured by the British army in the middle and late period before the German supply), and the gap between troops and equipment was huge, which could suppress the British army from going to Alexandria. I don't think this is a miracle, is it? (Note: Rommel disapproved of the massacre of Jews. He has always abided by international law and never killed prisoners in the battlefield in North Africa. Once Rommel captured a group of Jews, and the Fuehrer secretly asked Rommel to execute the prisoners, but Rommel refused. ).

And Soviet Marshal zhukov. ...
