    prussian warfare was all about outmaneuvering the enemy to have local numerical superiority

    So it was well known long before Nazis and thus not revolutionary, yes?

      Jup, nothing special on the strategy department. The Nazis understood the use of tanks and combine arms warfare sooner than theit initial opposition, of course also methamphetamine. Much easier outmaneuvering the other side when your soldiers can stay awake for days and march for almost as long.

      The general staff did not sleep during the Weimar Period either, the invasion plans the Nazis later used (down to the number of divisions) were formulated back then already. However, the Weimar generals proposed execution during the 1950s.
