What started out as a war based on military tactics and blitzkriegs, later became a war reliant on industry and mass production. In time, however, the Allies gathered strength and eventually crushed the German Army and Axis powers with a display of brute force that has remained unmatched to this day. But on the morning of September 1st, 1939, the world was forever changed as Germany invaded Poland and executed its first "Blitzkrieg" or "lightning attack," quickly crushing Polish resistance.įrom 1939 to 1945, Germany's military machine struck out and conquered most of Western Europe, swept into deserts of North Africa and drove deep into the hinterlands of Russia.
From 1900 until the late 1930s the armies of the world believed that massed infantry charges, heavy artillery, and static defenses could dominate and control any battlefield.
