German Military Doctrine was Flawed

Get your Operation Bagration poster here! https://teespring.com/get-operation-b... Promotion Code: SPICYBLITZ German military doctrine was flawed. But some may ask why and in this video I express my concerns with the lack of operational insight in concepts like Bewegungskrieg and stellungskrieg although I don't mention the latter. Many people seem to know German doctrine through a purely tactical perspective; even on places like quora you see people calling 'deep battle' a modified version of Bewegungskrieg and this is seriously wrong. Bewegungskrieg has in essence a very 19th century perspective of warfare whilst Deep battle has a totally 20th century perspective, taking into account both world wars. Here, I explore the differences between the tactical, operational, and strategic levels of warfare in case you are not familiar with them. Next, an analysis of bewegungskrieg and deep battle is conducted which shows why the chance based German doctrine relied too much on extraordinary circumstances. People may argue that this is because the Soviets had more manpower and could afford to do breakouts in dense sectors, however the problem with that is that both doctrines were developed way before the Second World War. I find it truly paradoxical that the Germans/Prussians practically invented mass mobilization yet still treated armies as they did in the Franco-Prussian war. Furthermore, I argue what set deep battle apart from Bewegungskrieg in its sophistication. Heck, I don't even mention Maskirovka (Deception)! I also give the case example of Operation Bagration to demonstrate that whilst the Soviets were suffering manpower shortages in 1944, they still employed their doctrine successfully because it is much more complex than whether or not they had an abundance of soldiers and material. I hope you all enjoy this vlog style video. I tried to make it more interactive with animation and footage snippets, here and there.
