About Heinz Guderian
Heinz Guderian was a pioneering German general during World War II who played a central role in the development of the panzer division concept and the blitzkrieg strategy. He led successful armored campaigns in Poland and France, but was later dismissed after the German offensive on Moscow failed. Guderian went on to become a well-known memoirist, but his writings also promoted post-war myths about the “clean Wehrmacht.”
