[QUOTE="SHARK, post: 268828, member: 1131"] Greetings! Indeed, SableWyvern, General Heinz Guderian, a top commander in the German Werhmacht during World War II, was one of the earliest proponents of armoured warfare in general, and of Blitzkrieg in particular!:) General Patton was also a passionate student of history, and was particulalry well-versed on Classical and Ancient History. The Mongols mastery of manuever warfare is certainly inspirational for military commanders ever since the Mongol Horde rode across Asia. To this day, commanders learn a great deal from the concepts that the Mongols developed. It's very interesting, because for all of the "new" ideas of today--or this century--when one studies history carefully, many of the ideas of the modern era were in fact developed in modified form by our ancestors, whether they were Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Chinese, and so on. I often recognise the basics of envelopment, deep insertion, psychological warfare, pincher movements, double envelopments, feints, hedgehogs, propaganda, and so on and so on. Our ancient ancestors were quite familiar with just about everything that we have thought of--they simply employed the concepts using different tools.:) Semper Fidelis, SHARK [/QUOTE]
