So Heinz Guderian is the kind of – he's the pioneer of the panzer force, the panzer thrust, this idea of the ultra-mechanized combined arms, panzer arms, spearhead doing this kind of lightning fast thrust concept. It's not Hitler's idea. He adopts it and takes it as his own because, you know, he's a Führer. He can do what he likes. But it isn't his.

He can do what he likes.

But it isn't his.

So it's not, you know, and up until that point, until that comes into being, until that plan is put forward to Franz Halder, who is the chief of staff of the German army at that time, How do we get out of this mess? This is just a nightmare because they know that France has got a larger army. They know that France has got more tanks.

This is just a nightmare.

Because they know that France has got a larger army.

They know that France has got more tanks.

They know that France has got double the number of artillery pieces. It's got parity in terms of air forces. Then you add Holland. Then you add Belgium. Then you add Great Britain. And that looks like a very, very tough nut to crack. I mean, the reason why France is subdued in 1940 is 50%.
