Type 941 you are contradicting yourself, you say wars are won on the ground not by mechanised armies then go on to say the Germans won becuase of good air support (3-4 times more sorties etc.) and by combining arms well that's the point isn't it? Isn't the point of Blitzkrieg that the Germans coordinated and used their tanks as units not "penny packet" like the French, whose tanks were better I agree. In fact, to support what you said about the German officer corps this was nothing more than the stormtrooper tactics of 1918 at a faster pace. The bulk of the German army was on foot but the spearheads were mechanised and that's what counted.
