From the transcript
The widespread narrative about World War II, especially the early years, usually evokes how German generals made brilliant use of so-called Blitzkrieg tactics, an innovative concept founded on the concentrated use of tank units on speed as well as maneuver ability.
Pissy, though, that Blitzkrieg was propaganda, coined to describe the effects of early German campaigns and not actually a tactical approach. While the view of art put into practice, was their take on combined arms warfare and military doctrine, which they referred to as "the war of movement" or "in German Berwungungskrieg", baby.
And it wasn't such an innovative concept.
