To the man in the street, watching with horrified fascination the carnage in Europe, a puzzling feature of the war is the contrast between Germany's new technique of “‘blitzkreig’’, or lightning war, and the seemingly cautious military tactics of the Allies. While the thunderbolt of blitzkreig reduced Poland to a shambles, the French and English apparently contented themselves with experimental ‘‘feeling out” advances in the West, instead of seeking to smash through with a “blitzkreig’” attack of their own. Now the entire German army is free to launch blitzkreig war in the West. Have the French-English high commands blundered? In the views of many neutral military experts. neither side has blundered—and the answer to both Nazi blitzkreig and Allied conservative warfare is contained in one potent word: oil. The highly mechanized Nazi forces require enorm-. ous supplies of petroleum to function—and. so must win quickly before an oil famine cripples them. For Germany has only the oil she has stored. She produces none. She has no access to adequate revlenishment. Hence. Hitzkreic!
