TANKS! - Armoured Warfare (4/12) : Blitzkrieg - A blue print for Victory

This is the powerful story of the creation and deployment of the Panzer Divisions, the chief cog in Hitler's war machine. A new form of warfare to which Germany's enemies had no answer. The story of 'lightning war' – Hitler's terrifying, ruthless but highly effective tactic which brought countries such as Poland and Czechoslovakia to their knees during the early months of World War Two. Originally conceived during the Great War, the Germans added air power and the crucial element of political surprise to the concept of Blitzkrieg.
Featuring rare archive film, stunning 3D graphics, new footage of surviving machines and unique insights from Dr Niall Barr of the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst and Professor John Erickson from the University of Edinburgh, leading authorities on armoured warfare.
