Abstract:

This bibliography cites books and periodical articles written by or about the primary authors of the Blitzkrieg conduct for conducting lightning war. It was developed, during World War I and later, to attain a quick breakthrough via deep penetration by armor, supported by air. Although U.S. commanders, such as General Patton, made use of the idea, development of the theory was accomplished by British and German officer personnel.
