Panzerkampfwagen: Principal Weapon of Blitzkrieg

In September of 1939, Poland succumbed to German armored columns. It was the first time that Germany employed a combined arms surprise attack using a rapid, overwhelming force of armored formations supported by aircraft, and one of the main contributors to the success of that operation was the humble Panzer tank, the principal weapon of Blitzkrieg.

Attack From The Skies: Best Bombers for Mixed Battles

In Mixed Battles, bombers can be quite tricky to use effectively. Heavy aircraft carrying dozens of bombs are often way too slow and way too sluggish to keep up with the frantic action on the ground. Nevertheless, there are some bombers that do really well even in this challenging environment, and that’s exactly what we are going to discuss today.
