Didn't see this post before. The German who developed both Blitzkrieg and Panzer doctrine was actually General Heinz Guderian...literally wrote the book. Rommel used what he learned and adapted those tactics to suit North Africa and the lack fuel, ammo and parts denied by Allies killing the supply ships thanks to the code breaker boffins at Bletchley Park. Some quotes:

You hit somebody with your fist and not with your fingers spread.

If the tanks succeed, then victory follows.

There are no desperate situations, there are only desperate people.

It is sometimes tougher to fight my superiors than the French.

Logistics is the ball and chain of armored warfare.

Whenever in future wars the battle is fought, armored troops will play the decisive role.

It is decisive to completely destroy Warsaw.

The engine of the tank is a weapon just as the main-gun.

[Don Corleone]

Whenever in future wars the battle is fought, armored troops will play the decisive role.

Especially if they have 'smart missiles' and are traveling at Mach 3.

Awesome quotes. Rommel battled his superiors, and Patton battled his too. The rain fell on both alike.

In the end, Eisenhower used Patton as chess piece. It was good that Eisenhower saw Patton through the eyes of the Germans.

Patton may not have been happy about it, but I think had he the luxury of 10 to 20 years, he would have appreciated it.

I don’t know if Patton won the Medal of Honor. I will have to look that up.
