that was the biggest critizism of Hitler, that he didn't let his generals fight the way they wished to on the Eastern front

There's also the problem of having to garrison and pacify occupied lands lest they revolt from within

but the reason had to do with fuel

Every division is like an organ, if you get rid of one the whole thing falls apart

Tanks are good but without fuel, tanks are useless

blitzkrieg relied on using tanks to outflank the enemy

that required massive fuel reserves

Infantry is vital, but without food, they are useless

and how do you move both a great distance?

hitler didn't tell his generals WHY but told them to minimize such tactics

without adequate logistics, neither are goign very far

^^

logistics wins wars

without question

any Ark player knows this

it's why russia hasn't been invaded

successfully

cool, well you kids talk amongst yourselves, I'm gonna go grab some food.

you can punch through the door of the soviet union/russia.

@Marushia Dark used to work for DoD; he talks about Aegis crusiers

lol

France made it to moscow, they didn't last.

Germany made it to Moscow, they didn't last

yup; logistics defeated them each time

and logistics was defeated by the Russian winter

Excuse my historical illiteracy but when did france do this
