- During World War I, German military leaders were greatly influenced by Carl von Clausewitz, Helmuth von Moltke the Elderand Alfred von Schlieffen. These former German and Prussian military leaders argued for swift and powerful attacks followed by an even faster envelopment of their enemy to ensure a prompt defeat. These new ideas about combat would pair with the needed technology of World War II in order to create the potential for the German Blitzkreig.
- Alfred von Schlieffen (28 February 1833 – 4 January 1913),
- Carl von Clausewitz(June 1, 1780 – November 16, 1831
- Although it was the Allies that dubbed the phrase Blitzkreig to describe the German military movement, the Germans were the core architects behind its design. The blitzkrieg was a military strategy that forced motorized combat forces to spearhead a concentrated part of the enemy lines, power behind it with the aid of air support and encircle the enemy quickly after the line has fallen.
- Although this militarized style of combat is usually synonymous with World War II, it actually began in World War I. Maneuverability and mobilization were emphasized across the Eastern Front that unlike the Western Front didn't focus on trench warfare.

- The German Blitzkrieg was most effective against enemies that did not have the advanced military technology and defensive planning to stop the spearheaded motorized attacks.
- Similar to the translation of term itself, this "lightning war" was the preferred method of combat to ensure a quick resolve to military combat. Many of the German generals witnessed prolonged battles of World War I and wanted to utilize this new technology to avoid the numerous battles of attrition seen in the prior World War.
