(born June 17, 1888, Kulm, Ger.—died May 14, 1954, Schwangau bei Füssen, W.Ger.) German general and tank expert. His book Attention! Tanks! (1937) incorporated theories by the British general J.F.C. Fuller and by Charles de Gaulle. As a principal architect of armoured warfare and the blitzkrieg, he contributed decisively to Germany's victories early in World War II in Poland, France, and the Soviet Union. In 1943, as inspector general of armoured troops, he simplified and accelerated tank production. After the July Plot against Adolf Hitler, he became acting chief of staff (1944–45).
