I support Joea on this.
Read Liddle Hart: History of the Second World War on how a handfull of Panzer Divisions, some Light Divisions and a couple of Mobile Divisions, never more than 20 at all, made the difference in the German army during the Blitzkrieg in Poland (Sept. '39) and Holland, Belgium, France (May '40). Type941 is right about their close cooperation with the Luftwaffe, which they used as flying heavy artillery. However, later during the war the Allied close ait support was even far better, that of the RAF 2nd Tactical Air Force in '44-'45 being the ultimate example.
