How British Tactics made Blitzkrieg

When fast moving columns of German tanks smash through the frontier defences of France, everyone is asking “How did this happen?” Blitzkrieg – Germany’s new form of armoured warfare. Many legends are made as a result of Blitzkrieg, but many more names have been left in relative obscurity during the development of this doctrine. This includes British commanders such as Lt Col. ‘Boney’ Fuller and Cpt Liddell Hart, two leaders in experimental British tactics during the Interwar period. Whilst strategy was beginning to look forward, attention was turned to the current armoured vehicles in the British Army which could not cope with the speeds required for this mobile kind of warfare. Innovations in speed included the revolutionary snake track, which allowed for vehicles to reach an unprecedented 30 miles per hour. Many of these news ideas were trialled by the Experimental Mechanised Force, with manoeuvres carried out by combined arms units in the south of England. Unfortunately, due to restricted budgets and confusion regarding what tanks should do, development of British armour becomes a low priority in the 1930s. The work of Fuller and the EMF are, however, recognised by German Army as they begin to remilitarise, and become influential in the development of the doctrine that would later become known as Blitzkrieg. When viewing the Wehrmacht’s first armoured maneuvers in 1935, Fuller was asked by Hitler “Well, what do you think of your children?” His reply was “Excellency, they have grown up so fast, I hardly recognize them”.

Whilst names like Guderian and Rommel are closely associated with this form of warfare, its less well known that many of these tactics were originally thought up by British commanders such as Fuller and Liddel-Hart. The ingenuity of these men, as well as the rise of new technologies end up overlooked by the British War Office. But their efforts are not unnoticed by the resurging German Wehrmacht.
